Lovely walk, well signed. Beautiful gardens set on a steep hillside. Good playpark for the kids too!

This garden is wonderful because it has nature trails that I enjoyed walking along for a walk. It also has beautiful planted gardens. The tulip garden is a must see in the spring and summer. The rose garden is beautiful as well and we enjoyed eating at the cafe in the rose garden on sunny afternoons.

There's a great park for children in the middle and if the tulips are out prepare your senses for a colourful treat. If you live and work in Wellington, it's a great place for a stroll at lunchtime.

There are several paths through the gardens, laid out with different coloured lines that are marked along the way that each guide you through different varieties... More

Myself, my husband and our almost three-year-old had an excellent morning at the Botanic Gardens on a recent trip to Wellington. We caught the cable car up and proceeded to follow the marked track to the playground. Our son was in heaven. The large playground caters for all ages and all the children were having a great time. When we... More
