A great place to wonder through the gardens Beautiful rose gardens, Walk through the bird enclosure Great play ground and water fountains for everyone to get wet in Beautiful grass to sit on or walk barefoot on. A lovely café with good food eat in or take out to sit at the picnic tables. Indoor gardens are worth visiting Duck ponds Just a great place to spend a day
The best we have seen, free museum ,tuataras , gardens galore, beautiful grounds , lovely area for children as well as animals and birds. You could spends days there.
The Queens Park gardens are an absolute must see. There are many different themed gardens that are a pleasure to wander through. Stunning plants and trees are a real inspiration for anyone who enjoys the outdoors. There are animal enclosures and a large bird aviary which the kids will enjoy. There is also a great playground for the kids to exert some energy with plenty of seats for adults to sit and enjoy the sunshine. A café situated within the gardens is also a nice location to have a coffee and watch the world go by. We spent a leisurely 2 hours in the gardens which was a great, "free" activity.
A stunning place to wander around in the evening - check out the aviary and maybe just grab some fish and chips to eat in the quiet and beautiful interior. Something to be proud of for locals.
If you are into parks, a visit to Queens Park in Invercargill will be a must see. Situated in the centre of Invercargill near the Southland Museum and I Site Queens Park is so easy to get to covering many acres. Plenty to see and do in this park. Don't miss it
We drove around this area quite a bit to find a nice place to chill and have a drink. We were quite happy with their beers however didn't try the food. Can visit once.
Queens Park is a beautiful expansive 200 acre park in the centre of the city. It is an arboretum with many well maintained specimen trees. There is a rose garden, Winter Garden, aviary, playground, animal reserve, plus the Museum on the south west corner. There is also a public golf course. This park is sheltered because of the extensive mature trees and is a peaceful place to visit. It is one of New Zealand's best parks and you can easily spend a day wandering around its paths.
Stunning...rate this as one of the best parks in NZ. Beautifully presented, clean, good toilet facilities and not over-cluttered. Lovely to take kids too with the animal park, playground and aviaries.
the park is well maintained to a high horticultural level.Some significant tree species and lovely border plantings. The winter glasshouse with the submerged boat is quite interesting.However my favourite bit was the aviaries show casing the native birds of New Zealand with an additional of some O/S birds.The ground dwelling parakeets are such an anomaly as they spend much of their time preferred on the ground.Such a stark difference to many other parrots in the world.Really cool as this was the only opportunity unfortunately that I saw these types of birds which are unique to NZ.It's free and I'm not sure how they pay for this type of display as it's very well maintained with some expensive aviaries.It's well worth the visit for an hour or so depending on how keen you are on plants and gardens.
We use this park nearly everyday and especially more if it's blowing or raining. It's a great park for the young and the mature. It has a lovely children's playground, great food at the coffee shop, animals and from January on the rose gardens are a picture. The gardens are used frequently for weddings.
