Guidebook for Lower Hutt
Arts & Culture
New Zealand's Museum, fantastic for kids and adults alike! Hours can be spent here easily... We recommend starting at the top if you have kids because the "fun, kids' stuff" is closer to the lower floors - keep them interested!

So many great walking tracks in the Regional Parks in the area, we recommend East Harbour Regional Park, specifically the Butterfly Creek track... the hill is well worth the climb - spectacular views and a great picnic area at the end... If you over heat you can always grab an ice cream and a swim in Days Bay to end the day!

A wee island in the Wellington Harbour, Somes has an interesting history and even more interesting wildlife! Try to spot a Tuatara but remember to check your bags for any pests before you get wandering! Also an excuse to catch the East by West Harbor Explorer which provides some very beautiful views on a still day!

What a spot, 2 for 1 cocktails on a Wednesday night, The Library is a favourite for grabbing a drink and making great conversation among the books! My personal favourite is the Golddigger - if you love Watermelon, you will love this! Hungry? You can pop just next door for a bite at Chow!

Getting Around
One of the best ways to get around is catching the train! Jump on the Express Train to Wellington and look out across the harbour as you travel! One massive benefit is that you won't have to pay for parking in town...
