Te Rau Aroha was opened in 2020 and commemorates the service and sacrifice of Māori in the NZ Armed Forces, sharing stories of heroism, loss and restoration from the world wars and subsequent conflicts.
Visitors to Waitangi Treaty Grounds may purchase a Day Pass which includes a guided tour (50 minutes), a Māori cultural performance (30 minutes), entry to the two museums, the Treaty House, the carved Meeting House, and the world’s largest ceremonial war canoe.
Hāngi and concert evenings are scheduled during the summer months – an intimate cultural experience not to be missed.

History lesson
We were two mums and two teenage daughters taking the opportunity to learn and re-learn a very important kaupapa that shaped Aotearoa. NZ we’re still a work in progress ☺️ Absolutely enjoyed the guided tour, the Kapa haka show, Te Rau Aroha, all the artifacts and displays. Highly recommend all NZers to take the time to visit the Waitangi Grounds through Bookme for a slightly reduced cover charge (local)
