Auckland Botanic Gardens

Beautiful gardens with a great café at the top

The view of the garden and beautiful plants.

Walking around these gardens always gets me in a really zen headspace. Really relaxing and beautiful, especially in spring when all the flowers are out. Take only photos and leave only foot prints!

This spot is perfect for a long walk or a quiet place to read your book or magazine in the sun. There’s a cafe at your convenience or a Fish and Chip shop up the road. Easy to get to, plenty of parking and lots of sculptures and artwork, and of course flowers and trees, to admire.

Look at the beautiful plants and pretty date.

These gardens are beautiful all year round. Lovely to walk through and plenty of spots for a picnic. Also a great cafe on site.

Tucked away out of the centre of town, a lot of Aucklanders have never been here, but it’s really great! Lots of incredible plants to look at and cool facts. Some amazing smelling flowers and a warm and vibrant and healthy environment to wander through.

Do you have a little one who has endless energy? The botanic gardens will solve all of your babysitting problems. Not only is there huge fields for them to expend all of that pent up energy, but they have an amazing children’s garden that will transport your little one to another world. Before you make the drive out there remember to put a loaf of bread in your day pack. Trust me, you don’t want to have to explain to your little five year old niece that these are special ducks that only eat at dinner time. White lies will never get you far.

Great place to visit on a weekend.

Great place for family day out
