New Plymouth isite Visitor Information Centre
About This Museum
Tucked away on Saint Aubyn Street, the New Plymouth i-SITE feels less like a formal institution and more like the town's vibrant, modern-day agora. It’s where journeys into Taranaki begin, fueled by local advice and a palpable passion for the region. You won't find dusty artifacts here; instead, the space hums with the energy of travelers plotting their routes to the coast or the mountain. The staff are your unofficial guides, ready to point you toward a hidden waterfall or the perfect flat white.
Collection Highlights
The main 'exhibits' are dynamic and digital: interactive screens mapping out coastal walkways and sprawling wall murals celebrating Mount Taranaki. A constantly changing rack of local crafts and Pūriri gin bottles acts as a three-dimensional guide to the region's producers.
Visitor Information
Head up to Level 1 for what feels like a local's insider knowledge hub. They're brilliant at booking everything from a forgotten museum ticket to a multi-day hiking adventure on the spot.
