I first experienced Wrights Hill Fortress when I was about 10yrs old. As most locals do I take for granted what's available in my own backyard only returning to Wrights Hill recently. I was very generously offered a tour inside the fortress due to a cancellation by another group. Wrights Hills is a fascinating set of structures with some surprising historical artefacts I've not seen anywhere else. I highly recommend attending one of their open days or if there is a group of you, booking in a private viewing.
Nice place to walk and stretch the legs while taking in the views and fresh air.Wait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
A unique piece of Wellingtons wartime history that is well worth a visit. It is only open to the public five days a year so make the most of those limited days. You can go inside and explore the expansive tunnel network and view displays of what went on inside the fortress. Great for young and old alike. Well worth a visit on the open days and we were treated to a display at the entrance but a group of military enthusiasts.
Great views and the tunnels were interesting a hidden part of our history in Wellington if you have the opportunity to visit do it is worthy of your time
Long windy drive. Great place to walk and check out Windy Wellington with a view. All tunnels are closed off, so it’s more or less a walk to the different gun points. Easy for prams and wheelchair access too.
Fantastic heritage site. Passionate guide who clearly loves his work. Nice to meet a team of volunteers keeping the Fortress up to scratch. I would love to see a greater commitment from the City to upgrade its features and displays, nonetheless it was an exciting and inspiring time for my boy
Worth a visit but want comfortable shoes as you will be walking quite a few KM overall. Get there early to avoid traffic and parking issues- It is VERY tight up Wrights Hill Road! A unique look at a part of Wellington's History. Only open 4 times a year - Waitangi Day, Anzac Day, Queen's Birthday and Labour Day.
Only open for four days of the year, the fortress is a landmark that is well worth the $8 entry fee. Fire a rifle, see the communication room, read all about the brave soldiers and see replica shells and gun. Huge generator room and much more. Great visit.
Rada, yes I was there and loved it, if you can getpast the smells and no daylight you should visit the place and imagine how ancestors of people of Aotearoa have used this space....
If you drive up to the fortress there’s some amazing and easy access views of the whole of Wellington
