Reviews of The Sculpture Park at Waitakaruru Arboretum
"Awesome experience. Worth the $15 per person. Beautiful"
"What a wonderful vision!.. what an amazing amount of work too transform a quarry into paradise that is still a work in progress with many more plantings to please into the future.. I love the place for its vision.. a barren industrial moonscape into a lush green growing organism.. if only we all had just a little of this in us!"
"Lovely walking paths and extremely beautiful sculptures around the whole walk. The hunt for some of the more hidden owls around the park was very enjoyable. (Even if that was just for the kids)"
"The Sculpture Park is amazing. Saw some info at the Cambridge Visitor center and had time on an afternoon. We had a very friendly welcome and so much fun, wandering around. Great artwork and such a variety of plants. Great to explore the different areas. They are setting up a cafe at the lake. Such a nice location to meet and have a café. Highly recommendable."
"What a lovely day! We booked a team building game with the Waitakaruru Sculpture Park which was an orienteering type course around the park. Was a lovely walk around with beautiful sculptures. Can't thank Sue and Dorothy for being so accommodating and welcoming. We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend"
