OUT AND ABOUT IN TARANAKI


Whilst in Taranaki we hope you will enjoy some of the local attractions a few of which we have expanded on below, also see: http://visit.taranaki.info/visit/home.aspx
for more information on Taranaki

Pukekura Park

Picture
Often described as the jewel in New Plymouth's crown, Pukekura Park covers 52ha (128 acres) right in the heart of the city and is one of New Zealand's premier botanical gardens. 
The park has an international Green Flag award and is a Garden of National Significance.


The park includes the Fernery and Display Houses as well as the adjacent garden estate area of Brooklands, home to the acclaimed TSB Bowl of Brooklands and Brooklands Zoo.
As a popular destination for locals and visitors alike, Pukekura Park lights up over the summer as the backdrop for the annual TSB Festival of Lights.

Mt Taranaki

Picture

Also known as Mt Egmont, this symmetrical volcanic cone stands 2517 metres high and lies at the heart of the 33,534 hectare Egmont National Park. This popular park has more than 140 kilometres of walking tracks taking in waterfalls, native bush and scenic vantage points. There is also skiing from June to August.

A climb to the summit of Mt Taranaki takes a person of average fitness about four hours, although climbers are warned to check with Department of Conservation rangers as conditions can change rapidly. The Department of Conservation operates from both North Egmont and Dawson Falls Visitor Centres and offers audiovisuals, displays, hut, track and mountain safety information.
