    Must visit! Set aside an hour or so to get lost in their many different gardens. Gardens are split into different themes which makes it even more interesting.

    Variety of gardens from around the world makes the place live forever and the detail of work which can be seen is amazing.

    A must-do. One of my favourite spots in the city! Walk up near the cemetery, by the pines for awesome views of the Waikato River!

    Most popular attraction in the Waikato! Visit the unique collection of stunning garden designs at the Hamilton Gardens! Make sure you set aside at least 1 hour to look around.

    Great place for weddings, really inexpensive but you can't take any champers and you may get a few onlookers.

    Take a picnic lunch with you, walk through the gardens down to the river's edge and have a private lunch in a beautiful setting.
