Poll: How do you rate Hamilton Gardens?

The Team Reporter from Hamilton Press

After its “best year on record”, the Hamilton Gardens has once again been named in the top 1% of things to do in the world in Tripadvisor’s Travellers’ Choice Awards.

Over 500,000 visitors saw the Gardens over the last 12 months, and mayor Paula Southgate said it’s hardly a surprise that it’s been recognised once more.

Trip Advisor’s “Best of the Best for 2024” is the highest level of award presented by the world's largest travel review platform.
