Attraction
Government Gardens Rotorua
Government Gardens is a formal lakefront park in central Rotorua, established in the 1890s on land gifted by Ngāti Whakaue on a former thermal reserve. The grounds include lawns, rose beds, croquet and bowling greens, and the Tudor-style former Bath House building. The Bath House currently houses the Rotorua Museum, which is closed for earthquake strengthening.
How to get there
Government Gardens sits on the shore of Lake Rotorua at the edge of Rotorua's town centre, within easy walking distance of the main street and lakefront. Visitors arriving by car can use nearby street parking or town centre car parks. As the gardens are open parkland, access is free and independent at any time; no shuttle or tour booking is required to visit the grounds, though the museum building itself is currently closed.
