“The Dunedin Botanic Garden Aviary is such a peaceful and charming spot. The variety of birds is wonderful, and it’s clear they’re well cared for. It’s a lovely place to wander through, listen to the birds, and take a quiet break from the city. Even better - entry is completely free, making it an easy and enjoyable stop for everyone. A beautiful addition to an already stunning garden.”
