Wellington Botanic Garden

A gorgeous walk down from the cable car, this trail meanders through rose gardens, trails lined with colourful hydrangeas, trees, a playground....so much beauty you want to be sure you have your camera ready! Tip: just pay for the cable car one-way, up, and walk down through the gardens. It is a steep walk, only about a 22 minutes, but I'm guessing much easier than walking up instead!

We visit several times, as the foliage changes according to season. Long walk or a quick trip, it's up to you. People with spare time can do the sculpture walk, those short on time can visit the rose garden in spring and summer. In summer there are outdoor concerts, spring means tulip festival. Always something to see, the grounds are always good for a quiet picnic.

Awesome Gardens. Thank you to everyone who works to create this space for us! Easy way to explore the Gardens is to take the cable car and work your way downhill through the gardens. Check out the Rose Garden and Begonia House! Most beautiful flowers in bloom right now - December 31. Enjoy the beauty of this natural setting.

Loved visiting the botanic gardens, so Beautiful... I hope they are able to save the building. Had breakfast here, the service is excellent, staff are very friendly and attentive

I used to live in Glenmore for 2 years and Botanic garden was the place for my morning running! Passed through the gardens everyday when walking to and from the office. I love this place. A lot of small walking trails, children's park, cable car, café. Attended a lot of programs like Lantern Festival, Gardens Magic, etc. A must visit if you are staying in or near Wellington.
