Next on 1 May 2026 from 10:00am to 11:00amAutumn Courtyard Tour
Overview
Come and explore the private courtyards of Australian Parliament House while they're bursting with the rich red, orange and golden colours of autumn.
You'll discover that Parliament House is not only the home of Australia's democracy, but a masterpiece of landscape architecture and design.
Stroll through the gardens and see how each courtyard is different from the next through sculpture, scale, plant selection and colour. Led by a friendly guide, this walking tour also offers you a rare chance to see the iconic 'Budget Tree' in person.
Make your visit even more enjoyable by adding a refreshment package to your ticket. You'll enjoy a fresh scone baked by the Parliament House pastry chefs, served with a hot drink of your choice from the Queen's Terrace Café.
Accessible tours are also running; visit the website for dates and times. These tours will move at a slower pace, allowing visitors to pause and reflect in quiet courtyards.
