For families looking for a spot that their kids can run around in, the [Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens](http://gardens.rtbg.tas.gov.au/)
is ideal. Located in Hobart, the gardens is a great family friendly destination 
for folks of all ages. Entry is by gold coin donation, with lots of beautiful native
Tasmanian and Australian flora to see. Don’t forget to check out the Conservatory
for floral displays, and see the rare Huon pines!

## **9. Don River Railway**

For transport enthusiasts and trainspotters, visiting the [Don River Railway](http://www.donriverrailway.com.au)
is a must-do. The railway is the last remaining bastion of rail-based transport 
in operation today. It’s all vintage locomotives at Don River, with visitors getting
an opportunity to ride the historic line on either a steam train (on Sundays only)
or a vintage railcar, along the banks of the Don River. Entirely run by volunteers,
the train ride is picturesque and exciting for any train lovers.
