Very beautiful gardens! We visited in early December and the roses were just in bloom so it was perfect! Also itβs very big i think we spend about 2 hours there! Would recommend.
Very large botanic garden that is completely free to visit. The lower garden is flat and wheelchair accessible, but the rest of the garden is very hilly. They have so many different plants so you can absolutely spend a few hours here if you want to see everything. Aviary can be accessed from the East entrance (you can park there) so accessibility there is not an issue. They have lots of interesting bird including a very friendly talking sulfur crested parrot. The visitor centre opens at 10 and have free duck food. There's absolutely tons of ducks around the pond! The cafe at the alpine lodge is closed indefinitely but there's a "coffee cart" as replacement. There's a small glasshouse which was interesting - there was someone sleeping inside on the bench for some reason.
Biggest botanic garden I've ever seen! It's quite the climb, but go up to the aviary. They have all sorts of wonderful birds that come close to look at you (especially when you wear a bright coat). They have all sorts of gardens, but the roses are my favourite!! Don't skip this part of Dunedin
Such a wonderful place to visit. So many things to offer for young and old. You have to visit all the areas, the herb circle, playground feeding the ducks was hilarious with our kids. We came back again to explore more and see the aviary which was awesome, the birds are hilarious and beautiful.
Big range of variety of gardens and plants. Nice walk to the aviary to see heaps of kΔkΔ and parrots. Duck feeding is available near the information center. Lots of other birds to watch around the gardens. Lots of street parking.
Fabulous free day out for all ages. Restaurant has reasonable priced food. Free grain to feed local wildlife.. Plenty of stunning flowers and great old trees along the many tracks.
With some different tracks and something to do for everyone of every age, this is a wonderful place to have free fun. Even the birds food grains are free here. Great place to take your children and go for a run. There is a restaurant as well which is not cheap but affordable. Good food. The rose gardens are wonderful and one of the few places where you can smell rose in the world. There is a play zone and u would love the tracks with great old trees. A must go place.
Free parking and entry, the walking is hilly but manageable for the majority of people. That gardens have a great display of more cold weather cottage and forest, but the glasshouse of tropical and cactus was also interesting. Caught the tail end of the rose display, can only imagine how beautiful it would look in full bloom. The look out is a nice view over town. Close to the city and a comfortable 1-2 hours to fully explore. The bird aviary is a must.
So very beautiful and peaceful place. Walked through via the gate close to aviary. Ron of birds to admire and couple of them will greet you with squawky hello - if in the mood that is. Gardens are easy to navigate as the little paper maps are provided around entrances. There is a pond with several types of ducks and you can get free duck food in the information centre if you like fatten the birds a bit. There is a cafe right next to it where slightly overpriced fodd and beverage is available, but on a nice day out, why not. Green houses with huge variety of warm climate plants is right in front of the information centre. There are plenty of interesting sculptures to admire all over the place. Good spot for a picnic on sunny afternoon.
