Opening Hours

Here’s the quick answer to “can I get in right now?” Hours and access depend on what you’re here for and whether you have a fob.

A note on getting in and out: the Black Mountain Peninsula has a gate, so please plan to leave before closing time.

Getting in and out

Black Mountain Peninsula has a gate that the ACT Government opens and closes at different times through the year. Plan to be off the peninsula by 8pm, which is the earliest the gate ever closes, so you are not locked in.

Coming for a function or event? Our team keeps the gate open and locks up when your event wraps, so functions do not need to finish by 8pm.
