Holiday & Seasonal Closures

Araluen Botanic Park is a not-for-profit charity

The Park is only partially state government funded. Teh charity raises money via entry fees and hires fee services. All money raised through entry fees and memberships goes back into maintaining the Park. Araluen relies on a very small team of staff and volunteers to keep the Park open and maintained. We hope you understand sometimes it is not possible to remain open on some of the 13 WA public holidays per year.
