Wellington Botanic Garden

Very beautiful botanic gardens with bright flowers, colourful and interesting trees. The gardens have nice walking trails with many areas of interests, like the Duck Pond, Rose Gardens etc. Some of the trees are very beautiful (and probably exotic). Many flowers were in bloom during the visit and we could spot many butterflies. Need about half day to explore the place. Combine with a visit to the cable car at one side of the botanic garden.

A beautiful walk to take, not too strenuous either and the walking paths are very well maintained. The botanic gardens offer a wide range of native plants and flowers with a large flower garden that makes for fantastic pictures! Would highly recommend!

Beautiful couple hours spent walking around the gardens, beautiful view over Welly too Can’t comment on the cable car as we ended up walking up to the top of the botanic gardens but I am sure it’s a great ride too! There are toilets at the top of the Cable Car, a restaurant (the view is wonderful), a cable car museum and a souvenir shop

Visited the gardens after a ride up on the cable car. Really nice way to spend a couple of hours. The gardens have a duck pond and quite a few different sections. Bergonia house at the bottom is a nice spot to stop for a coffee or a bite to eat. Great views of Wellington from the top of the gardens aswell.

The scenery and walks are nice, and it being on a hill gives it many opportunities to see the landscape of Wellington City. There are many meaningful places to go to and many places to chill. Unfortunately, I found myself often comparing these gardens to the Hamilton Gardens. It really did just feel more like walking through a bush walk rather than visiting actual gardens. In the end, it is still a nice place to visit and go through.
