Community and Nursing Home Bus Tours

Floriade wishes to invite villages, nursing homes and community groups who own their own or have access to a mini-bus, to provide Floriade tours for their residents/group.

When are tours held?

Tours will be held weekdays, excluding public holidays at the following times –

How long will a tour take?

Tours will take approximately 15 minutes but you will be permitted to take up to 25 minutes of your allocated time.

Is there a limit on the size of vehicle I can bring?

Due to safety issues and the risks involved with having vehicles in the park during busy periods the maximum size bus that can be brought into the park is a 25 seater bus.

What is the cost?

The tour is free. The only cost is if you decide to provide catering for your residents/group. (See below)

Can I do multiple tours?

Yes you can complete as many tours as you like on as many days as you like. To do this please complete separate application forms.

Can I have more than one bus in the park?

No. Due to safety issue we can only allow one bus in the park at a time. However if you wish to bring more than one bus to your tour, the buses will have to wait and go through one at a time in your allocated time slot.
