Domain Wintergardens

Went there 2 months ago, 10/10 new spot unlocked, free public place no tickets or wait needed. The Wintergarden is filled with different types of flowers and plants. There are 2 big glass houses right opposite of each other, one is room temperature and one is warm. There’s a big fountain in the middle and some benches outside for people to sit and chill. Quite easy to find a parking space as there are plenty around the garden, with a 2-3 hours of time limit which i think it is totally enough for people to browse around the whole winter garden. There’s also a park/big field just near the garden if you follow the pathway. A small cafe and a big pond with some benches in the middle, big trees with a lot of pigeons on them. Very quiet and peaceful place. And there’s a fountain ⛲️ right at the entrance of the garden, also the auckland museum is right near. Highly recommended and will come back again in the future.

The gardens are amazing. Its a paradise in the hustle and bustle of the city. It is not too busy and completely free of charge. The gardens is a large sanctuary to enjoy during the constant wet weather of Auckland. Unfortunately in recent years the garden has had a lot of maintenance and construction and has lead certain areas being closed off and scaffolding in other areas.
