What's it like?
Discover the essence of Rotorua - it's people, culture and volcanic
landscape. Experience the great stories which have shaped the past and present
of New Zealand's premier visitor destination. Be thrilled by the museum's high
impact cinema experience"Rotorua Stories." Visitors are taken on an education
adventure plummeting 13km into the belly of the earth to learn the scientific
and mythological reasons for Rotorua's volatile landscape. Other highlights of
the movie include the arrival of the Arawa people, a visit to the Pink and White
Terraces and the early days of Rotorua Spa. The movie's active portrayal of the
188 eruption of Mount Tarawera leaves the audience under no illusion as to the
impact of that frightful night.
