Stunning rose garden. Bring a picnic blanket. The palm tree section is too close to the motorway but otherwise a very serene botanical gardens! Definitely explore the African section too, before you wander off too far.

Awesome place to enjoy nature, wide variety of flora. Nice place to have a long walk. You can also conduct weddings, celebrate convocation , do photo shoot here. They also teach martial arts inside the premises.

Lovely place to walk around & enjoy beautiful flowers, plants, trees & birds singing. Nice café.

Always one of the best places for relaxing, exercising and walking doggy. During COVID special time, you need wear mask, scan QR code and show the garden stuff at the entry your vaccination pass.

Beautiful place for someone looking to get away from day to day busy schedule,Family picnic or get together, Walk Jog or Fun in park with your friends and family or relatives. Spring is going to be very exciting if you love outdoors and Nature

Very tasty fancy breakfast. Very! The gardens, oh, it is amazing. You can find a lot of quiet places to sit and enjoy view, you can feed ducks and sparrows, enjoy the garden of stones, roses, alley, and magnolia and camellia forest.' Find a parking place not easy, but worth it. Very interesting garden with edible plants. Kids are happy to learn something new from this place. Recommend this place for long, relaxing walks, stunning views, and beautiful work all peoples who are involved in those gardens.

Lucky enough to have this park ony way home. Great walking tracks for all, lovely Cafe. Bird life is pretty good & amazing gardens.

Stunning gardens showcasing numerous plants, shrubs, trees and flowers. Any variety of plant you think of....they have here! I took photos of various shrubs, Rose's and got good ideas. A very pleasant afternoon 💐

Great park and wonderful place for a walk with your dog. There's even off leash area. Your little friend will meet lots of others.

Nice botanical garden with lot of walk paths. Only down side the exit to main highyway.

Beautifully maintained garden with heaps of different flower plants..

Very wonderful place for a walk or picnic. Timely attractions like sculptures in the park these days showcase the talents of the artists. Very well planned and presented. The gardens are fabulous.

Took my dog for a day of exercise. She had a blast! We went up into the woods which required she be back on leash but that was also enjoyable. Walking through the gardens with my dog on leash was a wonderful day.

An absolutely beautiful experience, getting to know about gardening, various plants and herbs, getting close to nature.

The gardens roses smell wonderful, Great area to feed ducks and eels in the ponds and the little birds. Babies enjoy it more. It's a lovely Garden for a day walk.

Auckland Botanical Gardens, worth spending your time

Great place to take your dogs and young kids on bikes. Plenty of space, with wide paths for people to walk. Seating is also available if you want to take in the surroundings. If you like, afterwards you can walk into the rear entry of the botanical gardens. Make sure you put your pup on leash at this point. The street parking can be a challenge when its a nice day outside, as everyone will have the same idea as you!

Beautiful garden but currently it's not a good time to visit because not many flavours are bloomed yet

great wide open space and well landscaped to themes, cafe on site which i haven’t ever tried as more into the plant aspect. lots of parking, free entry and hours of fun with your family or friends.

Come here to bring the dog for a walk and run around the park with other dogs. Massive space and awesome views of nature. Nice way to enjoy a quick stroll.

Great place to learn and have fun together as a family. What's disappointing is that the signs have gone old and needs new labels. Several sections of the garden is still under work because of ageing. In spite of all this, it is still worth visiting. No entry fee. Nice cafe.

Only place in Auckland where you have a large off leash area for your dogs, very quiet place in weekday afternoons, weekends there's so many others with dogs, especially big dogs, aggressive dogs. Please don't litter on this place. Bring dog poop bags if you're about to visit. Thanks

My dog loves coming here, only been here recently (winter), very little muddy spots, unless dog gets into the pond areas, but other than that, lots of places for doggo to run and play. Some tall grass under the trees also allows for cool running spots, while there is plenty of space to play fetch. Haven't had any bad dog experience, most dogs and people are really great here.

Was a lovely day out, such a wonderful and vibrant place and the flowers looked amazing! Will have to visit again to see the other half soon!

Great place for dogs. There's mud pond and also a little estuary for the dogs to have fun in.
