Incredible GIANT Sculptures in GIBBS FARM, New Zealand

On and off for two years we've been looking to get some tickets to the famous Gibbs Farm. Each month Gibbs Farm is opened to a limited number of people to visit for free therefore it always books out super quickly but randomly one day we somehow managed to score ourselves some tickets. They were for a time slot 2 months in advance, but when you've waited 2 years, two more months is nothing really :)

It was definitely worth the wait though. We knew the sculptures were going to be big, but nothing prepared us for just how massive and impressive they actually were, especially when we walked up close to view each artwork.

The incredible piece of land that overlooks the Kaipara Harbour belongs to Alan Gibbs (an art collector, entrepreneur and businessman). He commissioned most of the artworks to be created for Gibbs Farm. Challenging the artists and often working with them to create something magnificent to be displayed on the vast landscape.

The gigantic sculptures from world famous artists are peppered all over Gibbs Farm. We were given an information booklet on arrival then left to explore the place on our own. There were even giraffes, zebras, ostriches, emus, yaks, highland cows, tons of free roaming alpacas and even a bison that we saw there!

We spent the entirety of the 4 hour open session at Gibbs Farm as it's a huge amount of land to cover on foot and if you love art and sculptures, it's definitely a must see. We even got a lucky ride from Keanau who works there :)

If you want to visit Gibbs Farm, you need to keep a vigilant eye on the visitor dates listed on their website: https://bookings.gibbsfarm.org.nz/res...

After visiting the sculpture collection, we went to get a late lunch/early dinner at KL Cafe out in West Auckland. Delicious Malaysian food in a casual setting, it was a fantastic way to end an awesome day. They even bake their own cakes too!
