★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Stopped in before they closed to get some information on hiking trails. Tracy was incredibly rude and condescending to talk to and get information from. I misspoke on the names of a few things and she became more difficult to speak with and get helpful information from. Not a great first impression, will ask more questions at my hostel.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The i-centre shares a building with the local museum (free entry, very interesting) and a trendy cafe/restaurant. The public toilets are free and clean. Whilst the joint setup is nice, the i-centre staff were completely useless and uninterested, doing little more than handing out brochures and selling memorabilia. They knew next to nothing about hikes on Mt Taranaki, which is the greatest attraction in this region! We've seen much better i-centres. This felt more like a gift shop...

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Lots of gift and souvenirs. Bright and interesting store. Went in to book Intercity bus. Smaller stock numbers than Nelson. Asked if they stocked possum skin and fibre products. No they don't. Very friendly and helpful staff.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A very nice new-looking clean building. It was an unexpected visit for us and spontaneous decision to go in there. There's an info centre, gift shop and a museum like gallery on the second floor which surprised us as it was very modern and had some interactive features. Although small, it was still a good place to look into.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Utterly useless phoning these guys.
They couldn't even tell me the name of the gardens where they had a big flower festival last week!!
The woman in the store itself was helpful earlier, but you need to be sure you're a walker not a cyclist, because they clearly not so keen on cycling here.?♀️

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Puke Ariki i-site and museum showcases informative and interactive exhibits about the early inhabitants of the place, the wildlife and the history of Mt. Egmont Volcano. It is worth the visit if you like to have a glimpse of Taranaki’s fascinating history.
