   Wellington Botanic Garden is a beautiful and peaceful escape right in the heart of the city. It’s the perfect place to slow down, enjoy nature, and take a break from sightseeing. The gardens are well maintained, with a wonderful mix of native and exotic plants, colourful flower beds, and wide open green spaces that invite you to wander at your own pace. One of the highlights is taking the cable car up to the top, which adds a fun and scenic start to the visit with great views over Wellington along the way. From there, you can enjoy an easy downhill walk through the gardens, stopping at various lookout points and quiet corners for photos or relaxation. Easily accessible and suitable for all ages, the Botanic Garden is an ideal stop whether you have a short visit or a few hours to spare. If you’re in Wellington, this is a calm and refreshing experience not to be missed.

   Beautiful gardens with a stunning variety of plants and trees. Paths are well maintained but some are a bit steep. The rose garden was in full bloom during our visit. There is also some spectacular views of the city to be had up by the cable car

   A sunny day took us to the top of the hill by cable car for the second time in two days. Besides the beautiful view of the city and the bay, the gardens offer the opportunity to stroll and relax in an environment where nature predominates. Plants unique to this country, such as kauri, and flowers of many types are also present. The little ones also have the opportunity to learn the names of some plants, such as the aromatic ones used in cooking. The rose garden is a sight to behold. The pond with its waterfall and a few ducks is also lovely. Not to be missed. Free access.

   What a beautiful place to walk around. We were short on time and the day we went was the nicest of the days we had in Wellington. We did not get to see everything but what we did see was stunning. The amount of beauty was amazing. The flow of plants is perfect. I do wish to go back and see more. So much to enjoy

   Outstanding garden with really beautiful flowers. The walkways are clean and easily accessible. Many of the flowers are from the Southern Hemisphere and so for visitors from the rest of the world, it's a really unique experience. Special mention for the bees and birds who aren't really that afraid of humans. A must visit of you love flowers.

   Wellington Botanical Garden is exceptional. Its beautifully curated plant life, impeccable maintenance, and enjoyable cable car ride make it the best botanical garden I've ever visited. Absolutely a must-see in Wellington!

   Very pretty but wish there had been more and better signage. It felt like the map did not have the same trail names. In the greenhouses, some information on the plant names or types would have been appreciated.

   Great place to walk around and have some good fresh breeze of air. There is a lot of place to explore within the gardens. Lots of big trees and flowers all around its a good view to walk. The cable car and planetarium with gallery are also fun to be.

   Beautiful flowers and plants. It's such a fabulous idea to take the cable car from the top and then take a walk down the Botanical Gardens. If you have kids, there is a lovely playground on the way down. A short walk about 10 minutes or so to the Parliament house. Then back to rest of the city for our rest at the hotel.
