    Great performance

    The cultural performance was really interesting. I wish they had done a full Haka dance though. Really impressive museum. I would definitely go again.

    Must to see in New Zealand

    If you want to come to the country not just see the scenery but history, you must come to Waitangi Treaty Ground-also their abundant cultural performance is better than others you can visit in NZ!

    LOVELY PLACE !!!

    Amazing place with a huge historical story for New-Zealand and the Maori Culture. We really enjoyed the Maori show, the exhibition in the Hubson's house where the treaty has been written, the park with the Maori boat and anothers exhibitions. Great idea this movie at the end of your visit, very complete and interesting. Otherwise, such a shame that the NZ Governement doesn't give any subventions to preserve this stunning area. Let's visit folks, you can not be disappointed. You'll really enjoy the Waitangi Treaty Grounds !!
