Are you ready to explore the most iconic park in the city? In front of us, you'll see a beautiful green expanse with towering trees, colourful gardens, and a few historical and cultural treasures that I bet you didn't even know existed before today.\n\nLet me start with a surprising fact: did you know that this park sits on a dormant volcano? Yes, you heard that right! The last eruption was about 140,000 years ago, but you can still see evidence of the volcano at the nearby Museum of Auckland, which, by the way, is one of the hidden gems of this park!\n\nBut let's get to the juicy part, shall we? Auckland Domain has a lot of unique features that I want you to experience. First, we have the Wintergardens, which are two beautiful glass houses that showcase exotic plants from all over the world. You'll feel like you're walking through a tropical paradise. But be warned, the humidity is intense!\n\nNow, let's talk about the hidden gems of the park, shall we? If you walk a little further down, you'll come across a secret pond with a picturesque fountain in the middle. This is the perfect spot to take pictures or even sit down for a picnic. And if you're lucky, you might come across some friendly ducks who love attention.\n\nBefore we move on, I have a puzzle for you. Can you spot the hidden sculpture in the park? It's called \"The Lovers,\" and it's a beautiful bronze statue that symbolizes the love between two people. But it's not that easy to find; you have to use your detective skills and look for it near one of the walking trails.\n\nSo, what do you think of Auckland Domain so far? Pretty amazing, right? But don't take my word for it. Take your time to explore this stunning park and discover all the hidden treasures it has to offer. And when you're ready, we'll move on to the next stop on our LyLo's Nature Trail tour.\n\nRemember, our journey is far from over. Keep your senses alert and your imagination open to the possibilities of what Auckland has to offer.

Have you ever wondered what it's like to experience a true Kiwi marketplace? Well, you're in luck because this is the most authentic farmers' market in Auckland.\n\nAs a local, I love coming here to pick up fresh produce and try delicious, locally made products. Did you know that some of the vendors here have been selling their goods for generations? Their products range from honey from the Waitakere Ranges to freshly baked artisan bread.\n\nAs a city guide, I know that one of the best ways to experience a new place is through its food culture. I'd highly recommend grabbing a bite to eat here, everything is fresh and mouth-watering. My favourite is the classic Kiwi pie which is a must-try for anyone visiting New Zealand for the first time.\n\nAs you wander around the market, take a look at the unique art pieces and handicrafts. They are all made by local artists and craftsmen, they are great souvenirs to bring home with you.\n\nAnother great aspect of this stop is the live music. Auckland is known for its lively music scene, and this is no exception. Be sure to stick around and take in the tunes while you explore the stalls.\n\nAlright, I hope I've given you a taste of what to expect here at Parnell Farmers' Market. Take your time and explore all the market has to offer.

Are you ready to explore the most iconic park in the city? In front of us, you'll see a beautiful green expanse with towering trees, colourful gardens, and a few historical and cultural treasures that I bet you didn't even know existed before today.\n\nLet me start with a surprising fact: did you know that this park sits on a dormant volcano? Yes, you heard that right! The last eruption was about 140,000 years ago, but you can still see evidence of the volcano at the nearby Museum of Auckland, which, by the way, is one of the hidden gems of this park!\n\nBut let's get to the juicy part, shall we? Auckland Domain has a lot of unique features that I want you to experience. First, we have the Wintergardens, which are two beautiful glass houses that showcase exotic plants from all over the world. You'll feel like you're walking through a tropical paradise. But be warned, the humidity is intense!\n\nNow, let's talk about the hidden gems of the park, shall we? If you walk a little further down, you'll come across a secret pond with a picturesque fountain in the middle. This is the perfect spot to take pictures or even sit down for a picnic. And if you're lucky, you might come across some friendly ducks who love attention.\n\nBefore we move on, I have a puzzle for you. Can you spot the hidden sculpture in the park? It's called \"The Lovers,\" and it's a beautiful bronze statue that symbolizes the love between two people. But it's not that easy to find; you have to use your detective skills and look for it near one of the walking trails.\n\nSo, what do you think of Auckland Domain so far? Pretty amazing, right? But don't take my word for it. Take your time to explore this stunning park and discover all the hidden treasures it has to offer. And when you're ready, we'll move on to the next stop on our LyLo's Nature Trail tour.\n\nRemember, our journey is far from over. Keep your senses alert and your imagination open to the possibilities of what Auckland has to offer. Let's continue!\n\n","type":"text"}],"ttsFile":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FnOwrlHKRzh2mxsbBR5Ru%2Ftts_3.mp3?alt=media&token=53f49988-0a8f-4b12-9b93-6d0833cabf73"},{"address":"Auckland War Memorial Museum","location":{"longitude":174.7783904,"longitudeDelta":0.1469051152118861,"latitude":-36.86070886190624,"latitudeDelta":0.09219986310369421},"placeId":null,"media":[{"content":{"partial_match":true,"formatted_address":"Parnell, Auckland 1010, New Zealand","place_id":"ChIJA4X9SwtIDW0RwINaKgfZebg","types":["establishment","museum","point_of_interest","tourist_attraction"],"plus_code":{"global_code":"4VMP4QQH+P4","compound_code":"4QQH+P4 Auckland, New Zealand"},"geometry":{"viewport":{"south":-36.8620578302915,"north":-36.8593598697085,"east":174.7797393802915,"west":174.7770414197085},"location":{"lng":174.7777538,"lat":-36.8607177},"location_type":"GEOMETRIC_CENTER"},"address_components":[{"long_name":"Parnell","types":["political","sublocality","sublocality_level_1"],"short_name":"Parnell"},{"types":["locality","political"],"short_name":"Auckland","long_name":"Auckland"},{"types":["administrative_area_level_1","political"],"long_name":"Auckland","short_name":"Auckland"},{"short_name":"NZ","types":["country","political"],"long_name":"New Zealand"},{"types":["postal_code"],"short_name":"1010","long_name":"1010"}]},"type":"place"},{"content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FnOwrlHKRzh2mxsbBR5Ru%2F1623131470659Te-Ao-Marama-South-Atrium-Tamaki-Paenga-Hira-Auckland-War-Memorial-Museum-2-Dennis-Radermacher-Lightforge-Jasmax-with-FJMT-and-designTRIBE.jpg?alt=media&token=06f553ad-9111-4b1b-bdbf-e646e165a3ac","type":"img"},{"content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FnOwrlHKRzh2mxsbBR5Ru%2Fauckland-museum.jpg?alt=media&token=a104d8eb-f673-4bdc-9cc4-752cfea6e81a","type":"img"},{"content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FnOwrlHKRzh2mxsbBR5Ru%2Fe4.jpg?alt=media&token=41bdf282-c196-4b11-9f55-56b2be2452d3","type":"img"},{"content":"Welcome to the Auckland War Memorial Museum!

You'll discover the resilience of the Kiwi spirit and the sacrifices that were made for the country's freedom.\n\nTake a moment to explore the many exhibits, which offer a glimpse into the past.

Have you ever wondered what it's like to experience a true Kiwi marketplace? Well, you're in luck because this is the most authentic farmers' market in Auckland.\n\nAs a local, I love coming here to pick up fresh produce and try delicious, locally made products. Did you know that some of the vendors here have been selling their goods for generations? Their products range from honey from the Waitakere Ranges to freshly baked artisan bread.\n\nAs a city guide, I know that one of the best ways to experience a new place is through its food culture. I'd highly recommend grabbing a bite to eat here, everything is fresh and mouth-watering. My favourite is the classic Kiwi pie which is a must-try for anyone visiting New Zealand for the first time.\n\nAs you wander around the market, take a look at the unique art pieces and handicrafts. They are all made by local artists and craftsmen, they are great souvenirs to bring home with you.\n\nAnother great aspect of this stop is the live music. Auckland is known for its lively music scene, and this is no exception. Be sure to stick around and take in the tunes while you explore the stalls.\n\nAlright, I hope I've given you a taste of what to expect here at Parnell Farmers' Market. Take your time and explore all the market has to offer. And when you're ready, we'll move on to the next stop on our journey.\n\n","type":"text"}],"ttsFile":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2Fc9LSTPOS2XCXIlojaD4x%2Ftts_5.mp3?alt=media&token=07dbfb57-ab18-4408-971d-a0ef091821d5"},{"address":"Sid at The French Cafe","location":{"latitudeDelta":0.09219986310369421,"latitude":-36.86446006190784,"longitudeDelta":0.1469051152118861,"longitude":174.7609136},"placeId":null,"media":[{"content":{"place_id":"ChIJ6YZIDcNHDW0RRzzlc8dO0Rk","geometry":{"viewport":{"west":174.7595646197085,"north":-36.8631110697085,"east":174.7622625802915,"south":-36.86580903029149},"location_type":"ROOFTOP","location":{"lat":-36.8644804,"lng":174.76103}},"formatted_address":"210 Symonds Street, Eden Terrace, Auckland 1010, New Zealand","address_components":[{"long_name":"210","short_name":"210","types":["street_number"]},{"long_name":"Symonds Street","types":["route"],"short_name":"Symonds St"},{"long_name":"Eden Terrace","types":["political","sublocality","sublocality_level_1"],"short_name":"Eden Terrace"},{"long_name":"Auckland","types":["locality","political"],"short_name":"Auckland"},{"long_name":"Auckland","types":["administrative_area_level_1","political"],"short_name":"Auckland"},{"short_name":"NZ","types":["country","political"],"long_name":"New Zealand"},{"types":["postal_code"],"long_name":"1010","short_name":"1010"}],"partial_match":true,"types":["establishment","food","point_of_interest","restaurant"],"plus_code":{"compound_code":"4QP6+6C Auckland, New Zealand","global_code":"4VMP4QP6+6C"}},"type":"place"},{"content":"https://thefrenchcafe.co.nz/food-drinks/","type":"link","title":"Menu"},{"content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FnOwrlHKRzh2mxsbBR5Ru%2F8.%2BThe%2BFrench%2BKitchen%2Bcopy%2B2.jpg?alt=media&token=67ce9280-05bb-4e04-8d64-5e08ce3aca69","type":"img"},{"content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FnOwrlHKRzh2mxsbBR5Ru%2Fkingfish.jpg?alt=media&token=10bc1cc5-716e-4a2f-b495-41ce0ac21297","type":"img"},{"content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FnOwrlHKRzh2mxsbBR5Ru%2Fthe-french-kitchen-private.jpg?alt=media&token=0e5ad9f9-66a4-4af6-a270-25215a6aee4e","type":"img"},{"content":"Hello and welcome to the Sid at The French Cafe!

The interior is chic and sophisticated, which makes the dining experience feel as though you're dining in a luxurious establishment in France. The food here is just as refined as the environment. The French Cafe serves up a variety of dishes, ranging from classic French cuisine like snails, foie gras, and escargot, to more contemporary, cosmopolitan dishes. Whether you're looking for a romantic night out or just love good food, The French Cafe is not to be missed!\n\nBefore we move on, here's a fun fact about this place. Did you know that this cafe was established in 1999 by Simon Wright? You may also recognize his name because he was awarded the 'Metro Supreme Award for Auckland's Best Chef ' in 2009!\n\nI highly recommend that you try out their classic French pastries and tarts - and believe me when I say that it's worth breaking your diet for! Take your time here, indulge in the food and soak in the atmosphere. Then, when you're ready to move on, we can continue on our journey to explore more of Auckland's serene beauty on LyLo's Nature Trail.

From harbour breezes to hidden laneways, I hope Auckland has worked its charm. Now settle back into Bistro Saine and let the team look after you while we toast the day’s memories.\n\nStart easy with something to share: Warm Olives marinated in Gordal and Verdial varieties, or a half-dozen Pacific Oysters with classic mignonette. Follow with a hero plate such as the NZ Wagyu Steak Frites with béarnaise and shoestring fries, or the Market Fish Fillet in saffron-tinted bouillabaisse sauce.\n\nFor the glass, keep it local: a pour of Central Otago Mon Cheval Pinot Noir sings alongside the steak, while Sato’s skin-contact L’Atypique Orange wine is magic with seafood. Cocktail fans might lean into the floral Bee’s Knees or a crisp Spritz stirred with Lillet Rosé and strawberries.\n\nRound things out with the Pear Tarte Tatin and vanilla-bean ice-cream or a silky Crème Caramel. Raise a final glass to Auckland, then glide upstairs knowing the lift home is only steps away.
