In accordance with current government guidelines, masks are no longer required when visiting Te Uru. We still encourage mask use in crowded situations or if you are at a higher risk of severe illness. Please stay home if you’re feeling unwell. Further details on how we are keeping you safe can be found here.

Te Uru is open to the public seven days during summer and autumn, 10am to 4.30pm. We open Tuesday-Sunday during winter and spring. Entry is free. We also open in the evening for special events.

Non-flash photography and filming is allowed in Te Uru for personal non-commerical use, except for specific exhibitions and artworks. For more details or to arrange a photoshoot, please read our photography guidelines. 

You can also visit our Lopdell Precinct neighbours and enjoy the views from the roof of historic Lopdell House, or make a day of it and see McCahon House close by in French Bay, Te Toi Uku Clay Works and the Charlotte Museum in New Lynn, or the Arataki Visitors Centre nearby in Oratia, Scenic Drive.
