Explore an enchanting world of secret gardens. Transport yourself through time and to far-flung corners of the world. Meander through a lush tropical jungle, visit ancient China and indulge yourself in a Renaissance Prince's 16th century garden. Five garden collections have been created to delight the senses, with some garden concepts reaching back 4,000 years.

We have been to more than 30 different Escape Rooms in New Zealand and Australia, this is definitely our favourite. 100% recommend. Not only are the rooms well thought out, but also the team is awesome in their own right. My wife loves their hot chocolate! Today we completely cleaned out their Heist 2.0 room. The feeling I have would be likened to finishing a really good TV series or a great video game. You just don’t know what to do with life anymore. If you are ever in Hamilton for a day trip or a longer stay, a visit here is a must!

Waikato Stadium

Reviewed By mrscarolg - Ashby de la Zouch, United Kingdom

Visited for the GB lions rugby league tour arch against Tonga. Atmosphere fantastic, such a shame about the score! Food and drinks reasonably priced compared to many other stadiums. Also not too big so you feel more part of the action.

We had an 18 month old we needed to entertain on a rainy day during a visit to Hamilton. A lot of the activities are for older children but the kids area kept him entertained for hours.

Taitua Arboretum

Taitua Arboretum is a 20-hectare (49-acre) tree collection just out of Hamilton City. The Arboretum has several lakes and a good network of walking tracks. It is a popular spot for Sunday afternoon picnics and weekend weddings.

Reviewed By N9387EJsusanb - Hamilton, New Zealand

On a very windy the Aboretum walk was well protected from wind and sun and much enjoyed by my leashed dog and I. I was lovely to meander amongst the gardens. It is well sign posted and a reasonably easy walk. Loved seeing a pair of free roaming rabbits, along with many chooks.
