The entrance to go and see these gardens is free, however, it costs the Auckland Council to maintain and upkeep these beautiful gardens. Many people from university work here, as they have studied plant life and know how to care for these beautiful gardens.
Inside the Domain non residents pay a small fee to visit the Auckland War Memorial Museum, last time I went it was $5.00. The price of a cup of coffee. You pay extra to see a Maori ceremony where you are shown Maori traditions. It was about $20.00 last time I visited.
