Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

If you are in Invercargill you need to go to Queens Park. A large park with manicured lawns and a large variety of plants. Be sure to see the ornate entrance gates. The park has a lovely 60s style garden pavilion cafe, a historic bandstand, a sizeable winter garden and a small but interesting aviary.

There is so much to enjoy, the serenity and beauty of the gardens, the lake with heaps of ducks and the fountain all so picturesque. I loved the tropical indoor gardens with the boat sunk upside down in the centre. All the colourful birds in the aviary are worth seeing. The signposts are very helpful. A visit to the kiosk will not disappoint. Very helpful staff and a good selection of food and beverage.

This is without doubt a world class park. The distance from the Feldwick gates on Gala st through to the gates on Herbert St. is a 1.2km tree lined straight stretch ,so great if you are keen to burn a few kilos during your time in town .
Beautiful gardens onsite, cafe and fabulous playground for kids including water feature.

Totally relaxing park, which is lovingly cared for and hosts an array of plants from around the world. Make sure you visit the small zoo (free) to see some interesting animals and birds, including some from the offshore southern islands. Great kids playground too.

A lovely park with lots to see and do - a huge aviary, play area and animals to look at. We had a cup of tea at the cafe and it was lovely on a cold winters day with large windows overlooking the playground. An amazing facility - a great place to stretch the legs or take kids/dogs for a walk. A great free activity.

The park is spacious, well laid out and with a magnificent collection of old, and younger, exoctic trees. There is also a commendable rose garden.
You can walk or bike around a variety of paths and tracks before finding a good selection of refreshments in the cafe.

Our B&B host suggested going to Queen's Park and we really enjoyed it. It is very large with many paths and diverse things to see and do. The rose gardens are beautiful and there are other flowers everywhere; there is a nice small greenhouse. There are massive trees in the park, fountains with lovely sculptures, a small Japanese garden, an old stone bridge, lake, and a 'zoo' with N.Z. birds (and peacocks, turkeys, guinea fowl) plus wallabies and other mammals. My sons played the disc golf course instead of the reg. golf course in the park. We all had great fun in the playground. Not counting the Disc. golf time, we spent two hours at Queen's Park and didn't see the whole thing.

A great public park in the heart of the Invercargill, the park spread across 80 hectares of beautifully kept gardens, wildlife animal habitats, bird aviary, playground, and sports areas. The great garden includes a charming rose garden, a rhododendron dell, an azalea garden, a Japanese garden, bush paths through a selection of native plants, rock and herb gardens. An indoor Winter Garden features tropical and flowering plants, as well as a range of cacti. The extensive sporting facilities in the park include an 18-hole golf course, tennis courts, Cricket, Croquet, and Bowling Clubs, and a 4km fitness trail with twenty exercise stations. Queens Park has something for everyone.

I dropped in just before 8:00am on Saturday mornings as I'd read there is a park run at that time. The run was really well organised and it led through pretty much all of the park. The sun was shining and it looked particularly picturesque as the early-morning light light filtered through the trees. The people organising the run, and the other runners, were very friendly and usually go for coffee close by after the run. This is very highly recommended as a great way to start your Saturday morning.

This park was amazing. It had gardens full of pretty flowers, a mini zoo and a mini bird park. You can probably spend an entire day just exploring every nook and cranny of this park. A must see if visiting this wonderful and beautiful city!

Yes is there a restaurant and can you buy seafood
Written 14 March 2015
The Cheeky Llama is a pleasant spacious café. I've had blue cod and chips there but its not a restaurant, more a family café. Oddly enough there aren't any specialist sea food restaurants in Invercargill although there used to be. However most restaurants have sea food choices although I don't know which would be best.
A good question which I'll make enquiries about.
Generally NZ doesn't seem to celebrate sea food although its certainly available on menus. Strange though given the importance of fishing. Oysters are treated as gems.
