At the heart of the Arboretum is the Visitors Centre, an award-winning architecturally design building featuring soaring ceilings inspired by the fronds of the nearby Chilean wine palm forest.

Designed to work in harmony with the surrounding forests, the Visitors Centre is filled with natural light, with spans of glass windows giving uninterrupted panoramic views across Lake Burley Griffin and Canberra.

The diversity of the space provides for a variety of flexible settings that can be tailored to the needs of each event, large or small.

Wedding receptions, award nights, corporate events and school formals have all been celebrated in style in the Visitors Centre.

The Ginger Group Venue and Events team has extensive experience in every kind of event and are there to guide you through the entire event planning process.
