A huge volcanic eruption in 1886 devastated the area, destroying the famous Pink & White Terraces and burying this village.
After looking through the small museum we were able to walk around the partially excavated site, exploring the area and going on a nature walk.
This is an excellent way to spend half a day, quietly absorbing the area and getting a taste for what early New Zealand life was like.
The Buried Village was interesting for the whole family & rated a 3/5, particularly if you enjoy history.
