Caribbean Gardens and Market has been operating since the 1970's, when it started with only a handful of traders selling wares from their car boots and Water ski shows.

Today  - the market on the shores of Lake Caribbean - has grown into one of the largest markets in Victoria with more than 1500 stall sites occupying a 5770 sq meter pavilion.  throughout the year.

There are permanent stallholders, but those people wanting to rent a stall on a casual basis can turn up on the day and hire a stall.  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 our new and exciting 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 BBQ's and plenty of picnic tables under the share of beautiful elms, gums and pine trees. 

There is ample parking and something for everyone's needs, whether they want to shop, lunch, stroll around the lake or watch the kids on the playground equipment or go on the rides.

Rides operate every Sunday 11am to 4pm and during school holidays rides also operate on Wednesday. For only $2.00 per ride you can enjoy a Chairlift ride, Train ride or Jungle Cruise.  A great way to entertain the children.

The Caribbean restaurant  and take-away Kiosk caters for light food, and meals, and makes a great cappuccino.

If your looking for a relaxing day out or somewhere to entertain the children for the day, Caribbean Gardens has it all.

Caribbean Gardens and Market is situated at the foothills of the Dandenongs in Scoresby, just 25 km from Melbourne.   Caribbean Gardens and Market is open every Wednesday and Sunday.
