Inspirit Studio & Gallery

Reviewed By happytraveller010 - Waiheke Island, New Zealand

We had a lovely time at the gallery. My mum has visited previously and insisted I go back with her. Jenny was really friendly and welcoming. The gallery was a feast for the eyes and we spent well over an hour looking at everything. I could have happily bought many of the pieces. Would certainly recommend visiting if you're interested in any form of art and New Zealand culture.

Hamilton Farmers' Market

Hamilton Farmers' Market is the only authentic Farmers' Market in Hamilton. Meaning that all vendors must be the growers, bakers, coffee roasters etc. Established in 2006, this market has recently moved to a large refurbished horse barn at the back of the Claudelands Events centre so hail, rain or shine it is a great place to purchase fresh meat, fish, vegetables and quality baking etc.

The Sculpture Park at Waitakaruru Arboretum

Open every day from 10am - 5pm. The Sculpture Park at Waitakaruru Arboretum is a unique art-in-nature experience with more than 100 sculptures along the 2km long nature trail. The park is set in a former quarry that has been transformed into a 17.5 hectare arboretum with more than 20,000 trees. We provide families with a range of ideas to make the most of their visit. This art-in-nature experience aims to inspire imaginations, nourish inquisitive minds, and provide for creative learning in an accessible wilderness environment.

We visited on our second visit to Hamilton as it fell on a Sunday. The park and arboretum is open on Sundays and bank holidays and features 100 pieces of very varying sculpture in terms of size and materials and placed among the beautifully set out arboreal pathways (more than 20,000 trees and shrubs) and around small ponds and lakes in a disused quarry. This is a family owned collection and is in my view an act of generosity on their part to the public and a real privilege to visit. There is a wealth of bird life to be seen and heard throughout the walk and the views of the surrounding countryside are lovely. In case you hadn't realised I absolutely loved it.

The Base

Reviewed By MaryM10159 - Houston, United States

Feel like a Kiwi when you visit this local shopping center in Hamilton. My daughter lives nearby and we always make several visits here to shop, eat and do her errands when I visit. It's a fun experience to see how the locals live vs just going to the tourist areas. This is a large outdoor center with a play area in the middle, a huge variety of shops (in case you forget something!), and numerous eateries. Get a taste of true New Zealand life and stop by here!
