"Opened in 2016, New Zealand's Museum of Waitangi offers innovative and interactive exhibits showcasing the Treaty of Waitangi, signed in 1840 between more than 500 Maori tribal chiefs and the British Crown representing the country's colonial settlers. The Treaty is still regarded as an essential, living document under New Zealand law, and the museum explains how the important agreement has influenced, and continues to influence, Kiwi society. After visiting the museum, explore the beautiful oceanfront Treaty Grounds, take in a Maori cultural performance including song and dance, and discover Maori taonga (treasures) including a wonderfully carved meetinghouse built in 1940 to mark the Treaty's centenary."

Awesome place with a lot of history within. I hadn't been myself for quite some years. Recently went with my kids school trip, & everyone really enjoyed it. Excellent place for kids to go and learn, & see some very important history to us all. The guides were very good with the kids and clearly very experienced keeping little ones on track!!! Make sure you pack some good shoes, & sunscreen! plenty of walking around to do!

Absolutely incredible experience. Well worth the visit up. An essential stop for any Kiwi or tourist alike. I recommend going on the guided tour (no extra cost!) as the guides are VERY knowledgeable. I'd like to thank Noah for being a great engaging guide.

Just an absolutely wonderful experience! We bought the tour with cultural experience and dinner. Beautiful grounds, great history. One free drink with dinner then you can purchase additional drinks if needed. The food was good if a little bland, but they had some good sauces to put on the meat.

Absolutely unforgettable! During our recent trip to New Zealand’s North Island, we explored many popular attractions, but the Waitangi Treaty Grounds was by far the most memorable experience of all. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the beauty, history, and cultural richness of the place. A huge shoutout to our guide, Crystal, who was nothing short of amazing. Her knowledge, passion, and storytelling brought the history of Waitangi to life in such a meaningful way—we learned so much and left with a deeper appreciation for Aotearoa’s heritage. The museums are world-class—beautifully curated and full of fascinating artifacts and stories. And the cultural performance! Absolutely outstanding. It was powerful, emotional, and so engaging. You could feel the mana and pride in every moment. We truly loved our time at the Waitangi Treaty Grounds and will definitely return on our next trip to NZ. A must-visit for anyone wanting an authentic and moving cultural experience!

In order to fully appreciate the historic and bicultural foundations of our nation, one must come to Waitangi. I really enjoyed walking the Treaty grounds and learning more about our history. The War memorial, the Museum and the gift shop were stand outs. A site of significance that everyone should visit
