2026 exhibition now open
Welcome to kaipara coast sculpture gardens
Come and enjoy a relaxed art and garden experience strolling along a 1km sculpture & garden trail set in a tranquil and inspirational rural oasis located at award winning Kaipara Coast Plant Centre, just 40 minutes drive from Auckland City. Allow around 1 hour to walk the main sculpture trail, and it is enjoyed by people of all ages.
Two optional forest and nature walks are also part of the garden trails to explore. Don’s Conservation Walk and the Harbour View Trail. These take around 1 hour to walk, with information about the history of the gardens and stories about conservation and nature along the forest trails.
FAQ
While we love our furry friends, dogs and other pets are not permitted inside the Sculpture Garden. This policy helps us protect the artwork, the landscaping, and the safety of all our guests.
We have our local Coffee Stop located inside our plant centre. It offers a range of light refreshments, including barista coffee, cold drinks, ice creams, and a selection of delicious slices and savory snacks. It is the perfect spot to relax and refuel either before you start your walk or after you’ve explored the gardens.
Due to the nature of the terrain, the Sculpture Gardens and Nature Trail are not suitable for wheelchairs or walking frames. The paths are gravel and include some inclines that make wheelchair access difficult. However, the Plant Centre and Coffee Stop area are accessible if you wish to visit for browsing or refreshments.
