Is Waitangi Treaty Grounds Worth It for Families?
Waitangi is where the Treaty of Waitangi was signed in 1840, making it NZ's founding document site. The museum is world-class, there's a daily Maori cultural performance, and the grounds overlook the Bay of Islands beautifully. Under-15s are free.
Pricing note: Children under 15 always free
