About

Nestled at the foot of Mt Ruapehu and the stunning Tongariro National Park, visitors will discover New Zealand’s military history through the real-life stories of those who served. Reflect on how conflict has shaped our nation as you explore engaging displays.
Highlights include the Memorial greenstone wall, extensive medal, artillery and weapons collections, iconic military vehicles, life-like exhibitions, Kids Headquarters, and a dedicated military Research Centre. Guided experiences are highly recommended for a deeper insight into the stories behind the collection. Complete your visit with lunch or coffee at The Mess Tent Café and a browse through the Quartermaster Store gift shop. A must-see attraction.
