Queenstown Gardens

Beauty and serenity bloom in these gardens, where warm flowers and graceful trees embrace the soul. Walk hand in hand with your loved one, and it feels like a gentle journey through heaven on earth.

A beautiful park. Very green, a nice pond, clean and super safe. The beach is also there with crystal clear waters. And of course surrounding shops, restaurants and cafes. I can see why it is popular among locals and tourists.

Queenstown Gardens are a brilliant example of enabling multi use facilities for the public. The gardens provide a serene walking experience around the edge of Lake Whakatipu with transitioning views of Queenstown & the surrounding mountains. You can play tennis, do Frisbee Golf as you walk around the gardens or even go ice skating. If you are staying in Queenstown this is a must & go a second time at night on the well lit walking paths.

Lovely and well kept gardens in Queenstown. Gorgeous flowers and plants. It's very easy to spend several hours here just ambling around the grounds admiring the flowers and trees. Peaceful environment. Very family orientated for young and old.

Queenstown Gardens offers a peaceful, scenic escape just steps from downtown, making it an easy and worthwhile walk for anyone visiting the area. The paths wind through manicured flowerbeds, tall trees, and quiet lakeside viewpoints, creating a relaxed atmosphere. It is free, accessible, and beautiful in every season, with extras like a disc-golf course and open lawns that add variety to the experience. Ideal for a 30 to 60-minute stroll.

The Queenstown Gardens is so beautiful and peaceful. It is a must-see when in Queenstown. There are plenty cafes around and also things to do for adult and children alike.

Large garden in town center of Queenstown. It’s a great leisure walk by the water, spotting different birds and flowers along the way. Stopped by their rose garden which was just starting to bloom in early December. It is a nice loop and stopping for scenic rests. There were also many spots for playing disc golf.

Spent 3 hours here to admire the huge pine trees and spring flowers, especially the cherry blossoms. The lakeside views were amazing in a sunny Sunday.

There is only so much beer and meat pies one can devour... So check out this charming Gardens. Really pretty area to just hang. Cool unique indigenous plants, trees, etc... They even have a redwood type of tree....thought that was only in Calif.

Queenstown Gardens is a must visit. You probably can't miss it if you're staying in a hotel along Frankton Road. There's also a very well kept walking/bike trail along Lake Wakatipu if you walk down from the main road, which does take you all the way to the gardens. You might feel like you're just by yourself, but no worries! You'll find a decent amount of people exercising--even in the rain. The botanic gardens is free to go in. Everything is well maintained, and very family friendly and wheelchair accessible. Pathways are wide. There are many beautiful, tall tress, and flowers. Love the fact you can enjoy the greenery while also enjoying the lake. Overall, it's definitely a must visit. You can easily walk through here to get to the Queenstown Mall, and other activities in that area.

WOW - we were stunned by the Queenstown Gardens! This was definitely a highlight of our stay in the city. After a lot of hefty, grueling hikes during our NZ travels, it was lovely to just casually stroll through the gardens and see so many different flowers and art installments. There were lots of nice park benches for relaxing, and great views of the beach and harbor. However, one of our favorite parts about the gardens was the disc golf course within it. My partner purchased a disc from a local shop and we spent a morning going through the course. It was such a fun and beautiful way to see the gardens and spend the morning!

When I'm in New Zealand, my friends and I always go to the gardens once a week just to play disc golf, their course is awesome! Walking around the gardens is always enjoyable, and the scenery is very nice! There are places to eat quite close by, and the water is perfect for wading. I love spending time at the Queenstown Gardens!

When we first arrived in queenstown we were in awe of the picturesque scenery on the drive from the airport. It was truly breathtaking. We walked around the little town and checked out the gardens which wasn't far from the downtown area. There was no entrance fee and I'm shocked because the park/garden was clean and beautiful. This was a photographer's dream taking pics of landscape, flowers, unique looking trees and distant gorgeous mountains. Me and my friend snapped away and enjoyed the scenery. It wasn't too crowded as others strolled and/or sat down and enjoyed the beautiful weather. This place is a must see and make sure you're able to take your time to take it all in

I've been here twice, once in February and once in September. It's not a bad little garden, and from the garden you can get nice view of the lake and the town. If you go in a warmer time of year, you can see a number of flowers. It was a nice place to just walk around in a nice, peacefully environment, which can contrast nicely with the heart of Queenstown, just a few blocks away. I've certainly seen better botanical gardens, but for its size, this was was quite nice. I would recommend it to people visiting Queenstown who are looking for something a little different to do.

I love Queenstown in general and the gardens are just one of the reasons why. It is great for a walk, picknic or bike ride. They also have frisbee golf. The flowers are beautiful. It was a great walk on our honeymoon.

This place is awesome- it begins at the waterfront and if you explore inland will find some of the most beautiful flowers you've ever seen. There's also frisbee golf if you're into that, and an ice rink.

Pleasant lakefront park, adjacent to the main part of town. Grab a picnic lunch, lie back and relax.
