This exhibition invites visitors to explore the Waipā District as a living cultural heartland, where archaeology offers insight into centuries of Māori life, movement, and relationship with the river. Through artefacts, landscapes, and stories, it reveals how the past continues to shape identity, memory, and place in the present.

Kick things off in our glass room, where you’ll smash bottles using a baseball bat, crowbar, or hammer, soaking in the sound and explosiveness of shattering glass. From there, you’ll pick out your smash items before heading into the heavy hitting room for 20 minutes of all-out destruction using sledgehammers and crowbars. This is a fully supervised, high-energy session, with all safety gear provided - all you need to do is swing. What’s included: 20 smash credits, glass smashing with multiple tools, 20 minutes in the heavy hitting room, full safety briefing and supervision.
