“The Waitangi Treaty Grounds is New Zealand’s most important historic site where in 1840 New Zealand’s founding document was signed: the Treaty of Waitangi.”

The Treaty Grounds features Te Kōngahu Museum of Waitangi, the Treaty House, the carved Meeting House and the world’s largest ceremonial war canoe. Enjoy strolling through one of New Zealand’s great beauty spots with its panoramic views of the Bay of Islands. Visitors to the Waitangi Treaty Grounds purchase a Day Pass that includes a guided tour of the grounds and a cultural performance in the carved Meeting House. Hāngi & Concert evenings are scheduled from 1 December to the 30th March.

The new award winning Museum of Waitangi opened in February 2016 and tells the story of Maori and European contact and the ongoing development of New Zealand as a nation through a mix of traditional museum displays and interactive technology; including digital labels and large-scale audio-visual displays.

Fantastic museum and beautiful grounds! As travelers visiting from abroad, I am sooo glad we made our way here early in our trip. I feel we have a much better understanding of New Zealand and Maori history. The entry fee is $50 but it's good for 2 days and includes a guided tour. My suggestion would be to visit the museum first and then take the tour. You'll have a lot more questions to ask the guide. :)
