This place exceeded my expectations. It’s a small but enchanting place that encourages you to pause, unwind, and appreciate the peaceful scenery. I went on a weekday late afternoon, and it was calm and quiet—absolutely delightful. Would definitely recommend! It's open 24hrs.

Queen's Gardens is Nelson's heritage Victorian ornamental garden, first opened in 1892 to mark Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee. Highlights include a colourful rose garden encircling a cupid fountain, a melodic water wheel, memorial structures, bridges, sculptures and a duck-filled ornamental lake, plus the adjacent Huangshi Chinese Garden that recognises Nelson's friendship with Huangshi, China.

A great garden with lots of very interesting and rare trees. Not very big and could do with a bit more maintenance but we really enjoyed our time there. Highly recommend
