Enjoy a unique garden, art and walking experience at Kaipara Coast Sculpture Gardens!
We had an amazing experience at Kaipara Coast Sculpture! The sculptures were absolutely spectacular, and the beautiful natural surroundings made the walk even more enjoyable. It’s the perfect place to spend quality time with the family. Our children loved the giant outdoor games, especially the oversized chess and checkers, which made the visit even more fun and interactive. The peaceful nature trails are well maintained and offer stunning views, making the whole experience relaxing and memorable. If you're looking for a unique place near Auckland that combines art, nature, and family fun, I highly recommend Kaipara Coast Sculpture. We will definitely be back!
Beautiful and peaceful surroundings. The sculptures were top notch and it was a lovely family outing.
Just so not worth it. Some of the sculptures were pretty laughable and we were just pretty stunned at the charge to walk around this place. The best part was the nature trail - i.e. you may as well just go for a nice tramp or walk in the surrounding area and save yourself the entry fee.
Wow! That's incredible, this visitor is complaining about the entry price when he used a FREE voucher from Auckland Unlimited!!!! There are 3.5km of walking trails as part of the Sculpture Gardens, all hand made by us, and the upkeep of them is only able to be done by people paying to go into the gardens. It takes a couple of hours to walk the trails, especially if you stop and read the signs, sit on the seats and enjoy the rural views, so for the $15 adult entry fee we think this is pretty good value! There actually are not any similar walks or tramps in the surrounding area. Not everyone is into Art and Sculpture, and one thing we have learnt is that different people like different things, and one persons favorite might be someone else's least favorite. We have also learnt that a one star review says more about the person who gives it, than the place they have visited.
Great track some good veiws worth a visit
