Fernery and Display Houses

Pukekura Park's Fernery consists of three glass-topped caverns excavated into a hillside. Being below normal ground level, they create a temperate environment suited to display a wide variety of indoor and outdoor plants from around the world.

Finding the Fernery

Access the Fernery and Display Houses from the Horton Walk Entrance or Fred Parker Lawn in Pukekura Park.
