Quite a nice mall with most things that you need. There is a cinema on one end and Countdown on the other. There is also the ASB side of the mall and the foodcourt area. Each place has carparks nearby so there is usually plenty of parks if you know where to look.
Lots ot shops and a nice place to wander if you're shopping.

Quite a nice farm away from the city. They have a nice range of animals and it is free to walk around the area to look at them. The carpark is decently sized and there is an information shed by the road. The farm does cover a large area so you are able to walk around to enjoy the countryside. They do have a shearing and milking shed so there are probably timed shows for them. There is also a campground nearby.
It was a nice place to walk around with kids since the large numbers and variety of animals are quite interesting. The older ones can also be taken to the longer walks around the area.

A nice series of shops located on one end of Lunn Ave. They have plenty of dining options as well as shopping and groceries. Most of the food places are on the McDonald end of the area.
There is plenty of parking and quite easy to get out of since there is a set of stoplights by McDonalds.

The Steamer Wharf is a common sight in Queenstown. It is located by Earnslaw Park by the lake. The building houses quite a few restaurants and bars so it is usually quite busy. It is a good place to find somewhere to rest up. Finz is a great seafood restaurant inside. There is also an ice bar inside here.
There are also lights on the roof which they turn on at night for an interesting ambience. Even if you aren't looking for a place to eat, this place is quite nice to walk through, or around since the lake side is quite nice and there are a few seats by the wharf.

The parking area is conveniently located to the gardens but there isn't a lot of spaces around and can easily get full. It is also one way so you need to circle around to get out.
