The Mangawhai Museum is definitely a highlight in the town—it's absolutely stunning. Although not very large, it's a thoughtfully designed and exquisite local museum. The kids really enjoyed the hands‑on interactive exhibits, such as the extreme weather experience room, the wind‑test photo booth, and the vintage toys inside the Bell Tea caravan—both adults and children loved them. The historical village outside is also worth checking out.
Amazing museum, and it’s also great for kids. The shop has some nice items for sale. Highly recommend.
The location of this building lent well to golden hour and sunset photography, with its strong architectural concrete lines and curves. I took the opportunity today heading north to photograph this site and recommend others to come and see what photographs they can capture of this interesting coastal building.
The Mangawhai Museum is a new and modern museum that celebrates life around the harbour from building ships to building sandcastles.nnThe stories are told with a wonderful collection of graphics, displays and videos that will keep you interested and engaged. So allow plenty of time!nnStories tell of an epic battle of the Maori wars, lost gold bullion still waiting to be found from the second world war, secret gatherings of heavy machinery to defy government regulators and a look at our local natural history around Mangawhai and its harbour including the fight to save the critically endangered Fairy Tern.
Small but interesting museum that gave history on the local area. Lots to read and a cool documentary to watch about the harbour dig, nice different models and props displayed. And kids enjoyed their scavenger hunt sheet.nReasonably priced and definitely worth a visit.nAlso need to check out the Daring Boat next door. We had an amazing guide tell us the story of this shipwreck.
