Gibbs Farm Sculpture Park Visit

The celebrated Gibbs Farm is an expansive open-air sculpture park in the beautiful Kaipara Harbour, north of Auckland. It is the greatest collection of large-scale outdoor sculptures in the country with works by some of the world's most renowned artists.

You'll roam among the sculptures and come face-to-face with some exotic animals, including giraffes and zebras.

The park is a 3-4 hour walking experience. Wear comfortable walking shoes and bring a hat, sunblock and water. This event will go ahead rain or shine. Tickets are not transferable.
