Truly one of the best experience I had ever get in Auckland 🙏 This historical village is telling you about the journey and process of European first settlement in Aotearoa. Starting from a humble thing as simple as a tent settlement, driven by unstable economy or eviction back at home, through the sea they voyage into a great new home while also hope. Then, meeting their new neighbor, Maori. As european individuals without home and basically some of them unwanted on their homeland, the Maori helps them survive and adapt through any measure available on this new challenging place. Some true story of friendship probably born from here, the true companionship between human settlers who came from the northern hemisphere who met their cousin that already settled from long ago in southern hemisphere. Truly, I couldn't tell you more through words, you just need too see and learn it by yourself (: The place isn't so far from the town center, also I love the staffs here! They're lovely, helpful, and greatly cheerful.. thank you guys 🙏 You could also chilling on their cafe just to buy coffee, tea, breakfast, or lunch, they had a great view to just chilling and sitting 👌

Lovely place to visit and spend family time. One of the most breathtaking spots in Aucklan, particularly on a sunny day. The view over the pond and of all the heritage buildings is truly hard to beat. Brilliant team of staff who care about their customers experience and put a lot of time and effort into making sure they have a great day out. Lots of fun activities for children and families. Big shout out to the education team who are genuinely the nicest bunch of people! The village has been a big part of my life and I look forward to my return visit! Definitely worth the trip to see it. There's also a fantastic (independent) café and site and the gift shop has a great range of gifts and interesting books.

Howick Historical Village is so interesting. It's a time capsule in a beautiful setting. I've been wanting to go for years, and I'm glad I finally did. I enjoyed walking around the old buildings, looking at props from a bygone era, imagining what life may have been like then. They have a lovely little café on site. I have to say that I'm very grateful for being born in this era 😁 There is good parking. Almost everything is level, so it makes for a good walk. One tip: try and go on weekends. Weekdays are often for school trips, which means it's overrun with children, clamouring on everything, going beyond the ropes, pushing and shoving past you inside the buildings, without any regard.

Me and my family enjoyed our visit to the historical village today and it was a good educational experience as well. However one of the people working their was very rude towards me and my family, when my husband aprroached her she point blank ignored him and exactly the same when we left we greeted she was so rude and just stared at as. She dident even try to hide it, looking at us from head to toe. I'm sure her co-worker felt embarrassed as well. In comparison with the woman that received us when we came who was just absolutely lovely. I was disgusted with her behaviour. Therefore I would not visit again or recommend it. I'm sorry but that was our full experience which is a shame

How cool it is this place in Auckland ?!!! Everyone need to know this Howick historical village. absolutely lovely staffs were introduce about this historical village before we look around, adult $16 that price is worth it because they are not just museum or like that all things are meaningful the real 1800s New Zealand historical village and can’t explain, they also have village map and we can follow, find the number each village all different old probs. Was helpful understanding more history of the life nz, I had a amazing day with this place !! If you are Aucklander go and have a look 🥰

I’ve visited places like this in Ireland and the United States. I love the immersive history atmosphere. What I loved about this one more was that most everything was authentic and not replicas. Down to the original newspaper wall covering in places. If you’re like me, you found the place by watching VLDL sketches - and came here initially for that reason - but will end up leaving with an experience way more than you expected all of its own. The attached cafe has delicious food, and there’s a quaint local crafts store too.
