Buried Village of Te Wairoa
The Buried Village of To Wairoa is a must-see for history and culture enthusiasts.
Wear sturdy walking shoes and come prepared for changing weather—pack sunscreen and rain jackets.
The museum is home to several remarkable, towering Maori carvings, as well as a Children’s Discovery Room for your kids to learn about the region’s history through play, and a scavenger hunt is available to make exploring the archaeological site more fun.
The on-site café, Vi’s Tea House, serves coffee and light meals, while the gift store sells a range of carved jewelry and books about the history of the village and the Tarawera eruption.
The museum and much of the village is accessible to wheelchair users, but the path to Wairere Falls is steep and not suitable for wheelchairs or strollers.
