We were here during summer in December. All the flowers were in full bloom and the glass house looks great. Entrance is free so if you&#39;re ever at Auckland Domain, don&#39;t forget to drop by.As the glasshouse is rather small, we would recommend not making this your sole attraction to visit but rather tie it up with a visit to Auckland War Memorial or during your walk around Auckland Domain.

Domain Wintergardens

chinadesk1

The winter flower house in DOMAIN, Auckland, opened in 1928, is a favorite of New Zealanders who love gardener culture. It is full of flowers in the four seasons. The exotic flowers of the South Pacific, the ancient ferns, and the colorful seasonal flowers are dazzling. Victorian-style decoration of the central courtyard, as well as exquisite sculptures. DOMAIN has a beautiful cafe, blue sky and white clouds, green eyes, flower-watching coffee, very pleasant. Free.

The venue area is slightly smaller, but the content is still very rich, and the rainy day is not affected at all. Very suitable for playing with the nearby Mission Bay. The souvenirs inside are very cute and bought several plush 😘

Sofitel Auckland Viaduct Harbour

Auckland War Memorial Museum

Museums

The whole experience is great and it is a good place to understand New Zealand&#39;s history and culture. The museum is quite big, it is worth a long time to visit, there are many interactive exhibits, especially suitable for walking the baby. There is also Chinese service, recommended.

Mount Eden

Mountain climbing

Night view

M69***65

Although Mount Eden is not high, it is overlooking the entire Auckland from the top of the mountain and has a particularly wide view. The remains of the crater are clearly visible, and the grass covers it, a peaceful green. It is not difficult to go up all the way. You can also encounter sheep on the hillside. The leisurely appearance makes people unable to take a few more photos. The wind on the top of the mountain is very strong, but it is also very fresh, and the mood is particularly clear. It is the kind of good place that does not need tickets and does not need planning, but can leave a very deep memory.

Auckland Domain

Night Attractions

Central Park in Auckland is not like the landscape park in the city, closer to a natural forest. The linden trails are winding, and the tall trees on both sides make it seem like they have entered the pristine greenery, with thick fallen leaves and soft soil at their feet. The air is full of plant fragrance, suitable for jogging, walking dogs or just walking quietly. There are also several sculptures and small bridges hidden along the way, adding a little fun. Although not far from the city, you can completely get out of the rhythm of the city as soon as you enter the park.
