I visited the Waitangi Treaty Grounds for the first time with a group of cousins. We all have historical connections to the region and to what happened at Waitangi, but it was our first time to visit in “tourist” mode. We were all blown away. Visiting Waitangi Treaty Grounds is a must for New Zealanders of all backgrounds. It helps to give all an understanding of what took place in this historically important place in 1840, and how our present was impacted by what happened there. The grounds are beautifully maintained, and the information on display well put together. During our tour we had the amazing Cee Cee (Not sure if that is how her name is spelt) who was informative, funny, but also quick to pull out facts and answer questions on demand. Put the Waitangi Treaty Grounds on your list of places to visit. It is a must for all New Zealanders.
