Explore Northland’s unique natural history and heritage with us.
Visit the fabulous nocturnal Kiwi House (the only one in Northland) and see the resident kiwi foraging for food as they would in the wild. Learn about Kiwi conservation or see if you can spot one of our tuatara and native gecko.
The Museum is home to nationally significant Taonga (Maori treasure), early settler displays and changing exhibitions. The Clarke Homestead “Glorat” built in 1886 and lived in by the Clarke 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 (a tiny octagonal chapel made from a single Kauri log c1860 and still in use today) and Riponui Pah School House.
Set aside several hours, bring a picnic and take in the grounds of Heritage Park. Browse the gift shop for gifts to take home.
Home to regular “Family Fun Days” where you will see the Park come to life! – The Heritage Park Clubs open their doors to the public revealing displays of vintage farm machinery, stationary engines, and vintage cars. Novelty rides include miniature and full-sized trains, bullocks, miniature ponies and vintage tractors. Food stalls, face painting and an eclectic mix of family fun activities provide that festive flavour.
