Poll: Have you paid to visit the gardens?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

Six months after Hamilton Gardens introduced paid entry to its Enclosed Gardens, the numbers are in - and they're looking as lush as the gardens themselves.

With $2.85 million in revenue generated, over 227,000 visitors welcomed, and more than 45,000 MyGardens passes issued since August 2024, the decision to introduce a fee has turned into one of Hamilton’s most successful moves in recent years.

If you're not a Hamilton City ratepayer, have you paid to visit? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
