The Auckland Domain Park building is located in the heart of the 75 hectares Domain Park, 位于公园道20号, around 3km from Auckland CBD.

Domain Park has so much to offer to both, locals and tourists, regardless of the time of the year.  Whether you are a museum and history lover, botanical and animal lover, or prefer activities like walking, running or playing rugby, you will find fun in this massive park. There are few ways to enter the park, so don't get confused. There is one entrance from Grafton, another one from Parnell, as well as one from ASB Tennis area, through a Lower Domain drive.

The most popular tourist attraction in Domain Park is the Auckland War Memorial Museum - a real wonder of architecture.  The museum has multiple galleries, exhibitions, as well as different events going on all the time. You can experience a volcanic eruption, 认识鸟类, 植物, 毛利文化, 艺术等等.  +, there is an area specially designed for kids to learn and play, as well as a nice cafe within the museum.  

Next to the museum is a great rugby playground, carefully made for sport and rugby lovers and fans. You can either play or watch others play.  If you are lucky enough, you might even see a small tournament going on.  The walk paths leading away from the rugby field will take you straight to the centre of the park and the area where you can enjoy looking at a beautiful pond, with ducks and geese swimming around.

Foodies might like to have a taste of the superb High Tea, a freshly made scoop of ice cream or a hearty brunch in a Wintergarden馆.  另外, there is a relaxing picnic area next to the pond, great for family time or a romantic date.  Entering the most beautiful part of the park at Winter花园 is a perfect area to relax, 读一本书, 拍照, 享受浓郁的香味, 让你的眼睛得到休息.

There are two glasshouses in the garden. One is more filled with temperate 植物 to enjoy, and the opposite one exhibits tropical 植物. The colour range is phenomenal.  As soon as you think you took all possible photos you could, you get surprised with another colour shade or flower shape.  In-between these glasshouses is an enclosed courtyard with fish pond, fountains and classic marble statues, a perfect place to 读一本书 and go back in ancient time.

Alongside with the beautiful garden, Domain Park has another romantic gem.  It is called "lover's walk."  The track goes through hillside section of native forest.  The green colour, a clear stream and tropical forest smell dominate the area.  They camouflage all the noise coming from modern life and bring you calm and peace.  

If you like colours, shapes, shades, native trees, and a mix of past and present, come and visit.
