Beautiful and peaceful surroundings. The sculptures were top notch and it was a lovely family outing.
Great track some good veiws worth a visit
All my family enjoyed the walk along the sculptures. In addition, you could enjoy the far ocean view if you walk out further.
We had a fantastic time exploring Kaipara Coast Sculpture Gardens. We enjoyed the variety of plants in the beautiful gardens with the sculptures thoughtfully placed. It is wonderful to see sculptors being supported to show their art in this context. We appreciated the thoughtful descriptions about the use of the plants to purchase at the plant center and filled our car with plants. Next time we'll take our kids and allow more time to play the games that are available on the sculpture walk, we'd allow time to do the extended walk and stop by the café.

Amazing family time
We had an amazing experience at Kaipara Coast Sculpture! The sculptures were absolutely spectacular, and the beautiful natural surroundings made the walk even more enjoyable. It’s the perfect place to spend quality time with the family. Our children loved the giant outdoor games, especially the oversized chess and checkers, which made the visit even more fun and interactive. The peaceful nature trails are well maintained and offer stunning views, making the whole experience relaxing and memorable. If you're looking for a unique place near Auckland that combines art, nature, and family fun, I highly recommend Kaipara Coast Sculpture. We will definitely be back!
