About this Event

Explore some of the notable features of this impressive building on one of our Saturday guided tours.


Our expert guide will take you on a journey through some fascinating history - all while you feast your eyes on the beautiful original features of the building, including the awe-inspiring hanging staircase and stencilled decoration. You'll also visit the Cabinet Room where decisions were made that impacted on all the people of Aotearoa New Zealand.


There are two 90 minute guided tour options each weekend over summer. Or, if you prefer to go it alone, you can enjoy a self-guided visit between 10am and 4pm.


Numbers are limited to ensure everyone enjoys themselves, so booking ahead ensures your place. Booking on site on the day is subject to availability.


Please meet your guide at the main entrance on Lambton Quay 10 minutes prior to your tour time.


There is limited paid and accessible parking available onsite at Old Government Buildings.
