Kaipara Coast Plant Centre & Sculpture Gardens

Great place to visit excellent staff. Enjoy food at cafe. Easy walk around sculpture interesting trail. Well worth a visit

Awesome place to visit. Plenty of parking on site. Garden centre and Cafe before you start the walk. 45min to 1hr walk at a crusty pace. Has interactive installments and games for kids that can be played with. Really beautiful walk flowers, plants and trees. The art was cool too. Recommend to do by ones self during the week when it is quieter. Very peaceful.

Quietly hidden down a track road, you will find this rather unique garden centre, Sculpture garden walk, Harbour View track, and Don's Conservation Track. It was a very interesting day out and full of little surprises.

Amazing place to relax and enjoy, truly a hidden gem, here's here's few pictures to tempt you, definitely plan accordingly, take a packed lunch and lots of water. A place for children and adults. After things could be cleaned up or fixed but other than that excellent.

We haven't been here for over 10 years and it has changed but for the better. The walk itself and pathways are well kept and points if interest well sign posted. The sculptures look really good and engaging. The staff are friendly and helpful and the cafe area is clean and welcome after the walk. The plant centre had a lot to offer and we bought some swan plants for our Monarchs next season.

This is a lovely place to come for a coffee or walk.The walk is about 45min to 1hr. It is also pushchair friendly (with only a couple of spots that were a bit difficult to push through due to gravel or uphill).I take my 2 year old and baby here and we all love it. The plants are lovely and the sculptures keep the toddler interested. The sculptures change occasionally to keep things interesting. And if you really like one you can buy most of them!The cafe is a nice outdoor area with some toys for the kids. They do have blankets should it get a little cold. The staff, particularly in the cafe are all young, likely teens. Polite and kind. They make a great toasted sandwich.

Excellent place to visit... I loved the garden... Some of the sculptures will appeal to different people... They have games for the kids... I loved doing the walks

This is a great walk through the sculptures, cool exhibits, friendly team then treat yourself to a nice lunch. Not a huge choice of food but the prices were good and service excellent. The walk is easy, not suited to wheelchairs but not difficult. The musical bridge was my favourite but everyone will have their own

An amazing place to take the family. A day pass cost us $35 for 2A, 3C. The walk was spaced out well with interactive displays, sound activated, and hands on for kids. With lots of beautiful plants and trees it is a real oasis away from the hustle of city life.Toilets at the garden center and one situated about mid way through the walk. Spots to rest, and play along the way. My kids loved both the metal birds and the real birds. I appreciated the bees and flowers along the walk. A map was provided for the walk, map was good quality and easy to read/view.On the downside I would have liked to have known about the annual pass while buying our tickets, ($50, vs 1 visit for $35). Cafe on site, we didn't dine there as cook time was expected to be 15 minutes, but with a friend the wait and price would have been ok. Nice small play area for toddlers and preschoolers.I am hoping to go back again more times as it really is a lovely place to spend a day (we spent approximately 3 hours here).
