Will definitely go again
This was such a fun day with the kids, very underrated as an attraction. Kids loved seeing the dancers, helping make butter, going through the old buildings, doing crafts and the lolly shop.

Beautiful place
My family absolutely loved the visit. My kids are 7, 5 and 3 and they didnt want to leave at the end of our tour around the village. Loved the set up, the staff and they even have a cafe which was nice and affordable. Their carrot cake was so nice and yummy. It is well worth your time and money - we paid through bookme and the total cost for all of us (2 adults and 3 kids) was NZD32.00. Would definitely recommend this as a family activity for those of us who love travelling back in time :) Please allow yourself at least 3 hours to see everything around the village. We missed out on the August live day but it was still worth it.

Awesome day out
Really enjoyed learning about the history and lifestyle of the early settlers in Auckland. Miss 8 enjoyed the fairytale hunt around the place!
