Reviews of Silo Park
Edith Wong
A very cool hang out place for the little ones and families. There is a carpark by jelliceo St. We are were happy that the first hour was free on the 31 Dec 2025 night from 8.45-9.45pm ... Just scan the QR code. Lovely view of the Auckland harbour. Wanted to see the vector lights. As it was summer the lights were only on after dark. Was grateful that everyone was sober and a very hustle and bustle...
