[2025 Auckland Attraction] Travel Guide for Albert Park (Updated Mar)

Auckland is an expensive city to visit so it’s always good to find something that’s free, the Auckland Art Gallery is a prime example! The art gallery is located very close to the main shopping district and is completely free to enter! Just a five minute walk from central Queen street this galley is a great place to visit and the best part is it’s free! The building itself is stunning and features a really Interesting mix of construction materials and a great use of natural light. It’s built into the side of the park and it feels like it’s half man made and half natural, I really suits its purpose. The galleries themselves have a wide range of art and it’s very well laid out, the paintings are grouped together and there are large A3 cards with information on all paintings in many languages. There are audio guides available but I found the information cards enough. The modern art area with the physical objects was a highlight, the huge colonial style room with high roofs and white wash was beautiful. One of the nicest layouts I’ve come across in an art gallery, it was nice and calming and really adds to the art. Really impressed with this galley and so happy it’s free to enable as many people as possible to appreciate the art. 📍Address: Edge Of Albert Park / Near CBD 🕰️Business Hours: 10:00 - 17:00 💰Average Price per Person: free! #history #culture #newzealand #auckland #art #free #thingstodo #myitinerary #citydaytours

Young people are lying on the lawn reading books on the hillside, and there are also children playing. The park is quiet and warm. A white clock tower stands in the distance. There is a queen statue in the park, and the flower clock made of flowers is working. According to the introduction, this quiet city garden has an extraordinary history. In the early years, the indigenous Maori people of New Zealand settled there. After the British invasion, it was once Albert Barracks, and now there is a large cannon installation in the park. The cast iron fountain in the center of the park was imported from the UK at the time. It was later designed by landscape professionals and became a city park with a strong British color. The clock tower (The Clock Tower) seen in the park has an ivory white stone exterior, which is actually located outside the park and belongs to the University of Auckland. When talking about this clock tower with the locals, they call it BIRTHDAY CAKE! The shape is special.
