Top Culture in Waikato

Definitely take the guided tour; they share awesome behind-the-scenes stories about the filming. I thought I knew everything, but I learned so much more!

Plan to spend at least 3-4 hours there, especially if you want to enjoy a leisurely lunch or explore every nook and cranny. I rushed and missed out on a lot of the charm.

I recommend booking your tickets online in advance. It’ll save you time at the entrance, and sometimes you can snag some discounts too. I saved a few bucks this way!

If you're a photography junkie like me, try the early morning slot around 9 AM. The lighting is perfect, and there are fewer people around, so you’ll get some amazing shots!
