Keep reading for our top picks on free, fun outings everyone can enjoy.
One of the absolute must-sees is Mindil Beach, close to Darwin accommodation in the CBD. Located in The Gardens, Mindil Beach is the most popular oceanside spot for a gorgeous sunset stroll and salty sea breeze. Take in the view and get a great incidental workout on the sand. If you hang around after dark, you can check out the night markets which have a wide variety of cuisines and handcrafted goods.
Another free outdoor activity, just across the road from Mindil Beach and 2 km north of the CBD, is a leisurely stroll through the George Brown Darwin Botanic Gardens. The gardens were established in 1886 and have made it through numerous cyclones and World War II. You will see Australian monsoon flora, tropical orchids and exotic plants as well as native birds and rainforest waterfalls.
If you’re staying in Darwin accommodation near the CBD, make sure to stop by Bicentennial Park to enjoy a walk or picnic. This beloved parkland is the place to be for community gatherings and offers plenty of green space to kick a footy or settle under a tree to read a book. The park is dedicated to fallen soldiers from the Battle of Darwin, with monuments and memorials throughout the area. For an educational and meaningful activity not far from your Darwin hotel, Bicentennial Park is an excellent choice.
