Gibbs Farm

This place is amazing and very special that is not open to the public full time. I had liked the Facebook page to be able to catch when events were going to go on sale and that’s how I managed to get tickets! The place is as incredible as it looks in photos with loads of great animals.

Book this place well in advance in early 2007 . Manage to secure a date in November to enter Gibbs farm. This is a place of serenity . Amazing sculptures that will blow your mind away looking at the sheer size of things . My suggestion is to bring good walking shoes , sun lotion , lots of water. They have portable loos around at a few corners but they do not have WATER. Expect to walk about 10,000 steps for the day.

Peaceful array of large scale sculptures spread over farmland, also a mix of unusual animals. Seeing everything takes a few hours, so make sure to bring water, sunscreen, some food, etc

This great attraction should not be missed. You will have lovely inspiring time during this visit of one of the best outdoor sculpture parks in the world. A couple of tips. 1. Do not waste you time for a picnic during open hours as it's only open for a half of day. Eat after you explored as many sculptures as possible. It's almost impossible to see them all in a limited time in enjoyable pace. 2. Try to participate in the talks about different sculptures. It gives you much more understanding if significants of this place. Enjoy!

World class sculpture park and we have one here in nz amazing. Truly awesome. If you have the chance to see it do it !!!

A very beautiful and picturesque place it is a hidden gem on the edge of Auckland, the trails are secluded and quiet but high quality and a rare place in New Zealand to find a reserve with exotic forests managed as well as indigenous. Great example of sustainable use of land!And there are in itBeautiful landscapes, easy to walk through fields and forests. A little hard walking. Very few visitors, so you'll be fully booked to enjoy it. Be sure to visit the water tank.And here it isGreat campsite with plenty of space, bike trails suitable for both family and kids. I wish there was water access but a short drive to Port Albert for wharf fishing would be a great option.

Cool art and animals. Takes around 2-4 hours to see everything. All money from tickets goes to charities.

An absolutely stunning landscape with incredible sculptures from artists around the world enhanced by the presence of exotic animals. Incredible vistas and easy to walk paths with few visitors to interfere with your experience. This is a must see attraction when visiting New Zealand. Tickets must be purchased in advance and pay attention to when the park is open to visitors as this is a privately-owned expanse, and only open during certain times of the year. Visit as many sculptures as you can in the time allowed. Don't waste time picnicking or doing anything else. Don't forget to visit the giraffes and zebras!

On a sunny Autumn day, this was the most amazing art encounter I've ever had. If you go to their website your can see great photos of the incredible artworks, and the stunning location, but nothing is better than being able to touch the art & be awed/dwarfed by it!

Pretty amazing, received the entry as a gift and found I really enjoyed it. Well laid out and a 10k walk up and down hills but definitely worth the effort
