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.

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"}]},{"address":"Sid at The French Cafe","ttsFile":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FnOwrlHKRzh2mxsbBR5Ru%2Ftts_6.mp3?alt=media&token=97d9cff3-c5b5-4bcb-8cf6-5f57ae80ab1d","placeId":null,"location":{"longitudeDelta":0.1469051152118861,"latitudeDelta":0.09219986310369421,"latitude":-36.86446006190784,"longitude":174.7609136},"media":[{"type":"place","content":{"formatted_address":"210 Symonds Street, Eden Terrace, Auckland 1010, New Zealand","types":["establishment","food","point_of_interest","restaurant"],"partial_match":true,"geometry":{"viewport":{"east":174.7622625802915,"south":-36.86580903029149,"north":-36.8631110697085,"west":174.7595646197085},"location":{"lng":174.76103,"lat":-36.8644804},"location_type":"ROOFTOP"},"address_components":[{"types":["street_number"],"short_name":"210","long_name":"210"},{"types":["route"],"short_name":"Symonds St","long_name":"Symonds Street"},{"types":["political","sublocality","sublocality_level_1"],"short_name":"Eden Terrace","long_name":"Eden Terrace"},{"types":["locality","political"],"short_name":"Auckland","long_name":"Auckland"},{"types":["administrative_area_level_1","political"],"short_name":"Auckland","long_name":"Auckland"},{"types":["country","political"],"short_name":"NZ","long_name":"New Zealand"},{"types":["postal_code"],"short_name":"1010","long_name":"1010"}],"plus_code":{"compound_code":"4QP6+6C Auckland, New Zealand","global_code":"4VMP4QP6+6C"},"place_id":"ChIJ6YZIDcNHDW0RRzzlc8dO0Rk"}},{"type":"link","title":"Menu","content":"https://thefrenchcafe.co.nz/food-drinks/"},{"type":"img","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":"text","content":"Hello and welcome to the Sid at The French Cafe!
