Discover a dynamic exhibition of over 60 large-scale sculptures set in a sublime landscape of towering native trees - majestic palms, a precious kauri forest and established native bush alive with birdsong.

The 2 km sculpture trail meanders past lakes, vineyard, forest and open pasture, and offers unexpected intimate views alongside stunning panoramas. Be challenged and delighted by the carefully curated selection of sculptures.

Discover works that float, move with the wind or sunlight, or produce an unexpected sound experience - the trail will certainly appeal to all ages.

Explore the annual Brick Bay Folly project which is inspired by a quirky interpretation of an architectural ‘structure’ and challenges young architects to stretch wide their imagination.

All sculpture is for sale and The Glass House also hosts an indoor gallery with small works from leading NZ sculptors.

Best for ages 4 and up

Enjoyed viewing the artwork and experiencing the installations. We went with our toddler, which made things a tad difficult as the walk wasn't pram-friendly. It rained the day before which made the ground muddy and slightly slippery. They did say to bring good walking shoes and an umbrella. Would still definitely go back.

Brick Bay

Cute Boutique winery that promotes mostly outdoor sculpture art. Brilliant in summer or when it's not soggy wet weather... not that we let that put us off. Great bottle store, coffee bar and restaurant onsite. Dog friendly (on leash at all times).

Great activity for the whole family!

The sculpture trail was great to wander around and toddler our had a fun time exploring the trail leading to sculptures and seeing the ducks as well. It took about an hour and there's no rush. A great family activity and the cafe was perfect for a drink afterwards (the food also looked great).
