★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 800 years old Kauri tree. The walkway in the woods is very interesting. Worth stopping by if you are passing Warkworth. Closer to the state Highway.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Wonderful place, very interactive & interesting. Great for my kids 8&6. An excellent bush walk that is either 10min or 25min which is ideal for young ones. We just had a fabulous time here

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Outside is a very impressive big Kauri called The McKinney Kauri- 800 years old. Height to first limb 11.89m, Center girth 7.62. Another large one can be seen close by.
There is a boardwalk trail through the Kauri forest that starts next to it. It is a beautiful, tranquil walk with Kauri trees, tree ferns and bird calls, made that much better by us being the only ones there.
Admission to the museum is $7 for adults. It has an eclectic collection concerning forestry, mining, minerals, women’s accomplishments, some Maori artifacts and history, European settlers history, stories and artifacts, old cameras, etc.
There is a video of local history that is interesting and worth taking the time to view.
Upstairs there are displays of old shops and a school.
Outside there is a 1900 outhouse, a tiny 1867 post office, Warkworth’s 1912 jail, two US military WWII era huts- all of which can be entered.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is a great local museum with lots to see, explore and read. The history is great, even though it isn't a large museum, it is really well set out and really tells of the local history both of the Maori, then the white settlers as well as the local commitment during the wars, along with content about the American second world war local contributions. There of course as important is the park in the same local which has a very large collection of Kauri trees with some huge ones 600 and over eight hundred years old. Luckily the really old ones have become access free to protect them with great fencing and observation platforms, plus the boardwalks are keeping people of the ground, thereby protecting the Kauri's roots plus the many other native trees and fauna. This is a fantastic untouched bush reserve. All in all this is a great local facility and is extremely well looked after and cared for by mainly volunteers.
