Botanical Gardens At The Auckland Museum
By traveltripz on Sep 16, 2007 in Auckland, New Zealand
After we had finished looking around the museum we strolled down to the Botanical gardens. This has been a favourite place of mine since I was a child.
There is nothing quite like strolling through gardens with the sound of running water and just taking in the beauty of the surroundings. The fine misty spray is cooling and refreshing as you walk under the ferns hanging in large baskets from the ceiling.
The oval pool between the hot house and the cool house has large multicoloured carp swimming lazily through the sun streaked water without a care in the world.
All too soon our visit comes to an end and off to Kelly Tarlto’s Antarctic Encounter at Orakei. We have had a lovely day taking our time and enjoying the experience.
The visit to the museum and the gardens is very reasonably priced, the entrance fee is a $5 donation and it only cost $23 for 2 adults plus the cultural show for 1 adult.
