After attending the CNZ Wild Adventures Masquerade Ball as Egyptian Gods and Goddesses, we thought we absolutely must visit the gorgeous Egyptian gardens. We got there just in time for a quick photo shoot and many visitors took the time to have photos done with us!
It was the perfect backdrop for weeks of costume designing by our family.
Thank you!
Visit to what I think really is Hamilton’s premier with my partner and mother visiting from out of town. Both my mother and I use mobility scooters and access around the whole gardens was the great. I hadn’t been for a few years . great to see the newer gardens. The Kathryn Mansfield, Surrealist and New Egyptian gardens were particularly good. If just keeps getting better. A real asset to Hamilton. Recommend EVERYONE goes there
Didn’t do a guided tour. Lots to do was with kids and family aged 3-66 so good for all ages. Gardens interactive and interesting and cafe had a really wide range and vegan options also.
Hamilton Gardens we’re an unexpected joy!
I’ve been to (mostly travelled past) Hamilton many times and had heard good things about the gardens. To be honest I’d kind of dismissed the praise - “how good can a garden be?”, I thought - but they really are a worth a look! We only scratched the surface, exploring only the Enclosed Gardens but they were fantastic. So many different types of garden styles from many different countries and also books / fantasy. I’ll definitely be back
We live out of town but were in Hamilton for one night and promised ourselves we would make the effort to get here and check out any new gardens that had been done since our last visit.
We did manage to get there as the weather was being kind to us. We were not disappointed as the place is improving all the time and it’s all free!
Its one of our favourite places to visit as you forget all the not so nice stuff going on in the real world.
