    What an amazing place to visit. Gardens does not do it justice as a description. Very much an experience. We had a fantastic visit to this wonderful place. Every turn gave a photo opportunity. Allocate at least 2 hours - maybe three for this place. Thank you to all that work so hard there.

    Not a great day to visit as was very hot. Most animals seek shade and nap in heat.
    But zoo has plenty of shade for human animals too.. and ice cream van at lower end.
    Layout bit annoying several dead end paths so have to back track. But over all quite spacious.
    New entrance way is lovely though prefer money to be spent on enclosures..
    Tiger babies are seen on Webcam but will be out and about when older..

    Well I loved everything about this place from the entrance through the diner to the detail of the museum. It was fabulous! If you love cars then this is the place for you. Also they have everything associated with the industry and is quite a blast from the past

    I went with my mum and 2 aunties and we all enjoyed it. Trying to find all the owls was fun and I found 11 out of 14. Took a heap of photos and was a lovely morning walk. Probably not the best for people with bad knees.

    awesome!

    what an excellent attraction, I could have walked around here all day. lovely selection of art and installations, they had a section on how they preserve art which I found fascinating. there was also a traditional Maori house made entirely out of crochet, which was very cool to see.

    partner and I had a lovely walk around, great spot to go for a relaxing afternoon

    Lovely walk, not difficult, lovely little pond with ducks and we fed the chickens near the arrival carpark. Good for dogs (must be on leads) and some beautiful views from the lookout point

    It was lovely to walk around the gardens - and I was very impressed with the free South Pacific history centre.

    Sat on the shady side but the whole of the stadium has excellent views plus TV's and score board.
    A great stadium to see any event.

    Visiting Rurakura Berry Farm was an absolute delight! The lush fields of berries were a picturesque sight, and the experience of picking our own berries was truly enjoyable for the whole family. The berries were incredibly fresh and flavorful, making for the perfect snack as we wandered through the farm. The staff were friendly and helpful, providing helpful tips on the best berries to pick and how to properly harvest them. Overall, it was a fantastic outing filled with delicious berries and wonderful memories.

    What a fantastic few hours. We found Dale and his crew both informative and fun.
    Such a blast driving these very fast cars with a calm and precise instructor at my side.
    The hot lap at the end was amazing.
    Thanks so much

    The manager here, Yvonne made this such an awesome visit and it turned into a lot of fun. Many thanks to her. Also allowed us in a tad earlier and is so knowledgeable about the different beers.
    We tasted various beers and were pleasantly surprised.
    There is a brewery, but not for tours.
