CARIBBEAN GARDENS, SCORESBY

Caribbean Gardens and Market have been operating since the 1970's when a market there started with only a handful of traders selling wares from their car boots.  Today the market on the shores of Lake Caribbean has grown into one of the largest markets in Victoria with more than 1500 stalls.  The market offers a huge variety of goods ranging from clothing, fresh produce, lollies, plants, art and crafts, household goods, tools, prints, shoes, toys, giftware and bric-a-brac plus a Computer Swap Meet Market operating every Sunday.

The Gardens cover an area of approximately 100 acres surrounding the beautiful Lake Caribbean. Throughout the picnic grounds are BBQs and plenty of picnic tables under the share of beautiful elms, gums and pine trees.  Rides include the Chair Lift (over the lake), Jungle Cruises and Train that operate every Sunday, plus Wednesday during school holidays. The train ride takes a five kilometre journey around the lake with spectacular views of the entire Caribbean Gardens.
