About this activity

Three venues in one!  Visit the nocturnal Kiwi House and see our resident kiwi foraging for food as he would in the wild.  Learn about Kiwi conservation or see if you can spot one of our native geckos.  The Museum is home to nationally significant Taonga (Maori treasure) and early settler displays.  The Clarke Homestead “Glorat”, built in 1886 and lived in by the same family until the 1980’s is a museum in itself, displaying the family’s treasures through the generations.  Other heritage buildings on site include the first Women’s Jail, Jane Mander’s Study, Oruaiti Chapel (made from a single Kauri log and believed to be New Zealand’s smallest church) and Riponui Pah School House.  Set aside several hours, bring a picnic and take in the grounds of Heritage Park.

Home to regular “Live Days” where you will see the park come to life!  Fun for the whole family, with train rides, bullock sled rides, tractor & hay cart rides, fresh food and refreshments plus lots more.
