Fields of Flowers

This is what KaBloom is all about; the breathtaking splendour of millions of flowers across five acres of plantings all set in the gorgeous Dandenong Ranges.

This floral sensation will melt your heart and fill your soul. Capture that perfect memory amid the blooms with special photo paths and pockets.

Circus Oz

Roll up, roll up to see Circus Oz Now for Wow! Vibrant acts of daring delights! Experience a bunch of ordinary humans doing extraordinary things in this fun-packed extravaganza.

A vibrant mix of acrobatics, muscles, pulsating beats, juggling, hoop diving and infectious joy that will leave you breathless.

Tractor Train

The tractor trains regularly depart from the Flower Station, taking in the gorgeous scenery as they tour the farm. Passengers will enjoy audio full of information about how the farm began and how we grow and care for all the flowers. This is a wheelchair-friendly ride, and people with limited mobility and their carers ride free.

Food and Drink

Enjoying so many flowers can be hungry and thirsty work, so it is important to keep fueled. They have food from around the world, catering for a range of dietary requirements and preferences.

Shopaholics

The Nursery Shop is filled with spring flowering bulbs and indoor and outdoor plants to indulge in. The Fairy Shop is filled with magical wares. The Lolly Shop is there to tempt you with many sweet treats.

If you want to take something home for yourself or someone special, the souvenir shop will have just the thing with a sensational range of flower- and circus-themed gifts. Last, but most definitely not least is the Flower Market; after all, who comes to a flower festival without taking some home? They have gorgeous bunches of seasonal, locally grown blooms to choose from.

Getting There

The best way to get to Tesselaar KaBloom is to get a group of family and friends together and take a scenic drive through the Dandenong Ranges to Tesselaar KaBloom, it is located within 60 minutes of Melbourne.

They have FREE off-street parking spaces for cars and 15 off-street parking spaces for Buses.

The areas surrounding the farm are NO STANDING and we actively discourage you from parking on the roads surrounding the farm. If the car park is full, we advise you take a drive, get a coffee, explore the local area and come back in an hour or so, we will reopen the car park as soon as space becomes available.

Public Transport
Public transport is an alternative method for people who do not have access to a vehicle to get to Tesselaar KaBloom. It is important to pre-plan your public transport trip to ensure your day is hassle-free. Instructions are as follows:

  • Board a Train to either Lilydale or Belgrave Station – both are around 20 minutes from our farm.
  • Board the Route 663 Bus from Lilydale or Belgrave Station to Tesselaar KaBloom. Disembark at the Tesselaar Tulip Farm stop, which is right on your doorstep.

Dogs on leads are also welcome to the event, and water is provided for them, but owners must pick up after their dogs. An ATM is available on-site. Since the location is on a farm with unsealed paths, individuals with mobility issues will need assistance. A limited number of wheelchairs are available for hire, free of charge.
