THINGS TO DO AROUND NEW PLYMOUTH

New Plymouth is a vibrant coastal city with plenty for visitors to enjoy. There’s a warm, friendly vibe and we have excellent restaurants, bars and fantastic shopping. Or just enjoy our galleries and walks.

There are lots of family friendly activities, and most of them are free! Don’t miss Brooklands Zoo, the Festival of Lights and Americana, for example. The youngsters will love the Kids Treehouse Trail at Pukeiti Gardens, one of the world’s biggest and most diverse collections of rhododendrons and other exotic plants. Yes, it’s free, too!

And the city is only an introduction to the delights of the Taranaki region, with a range of easily accessible outdoor activities, catering to your fitness level.
