About

Auckland Palace, part of the Auckland Project, offers a rich blend of history, art, and natural beauty.

The site welcomes all ages, with free entry for children under four and a range of family‑friendly tours. Open daily from 10:30 am until 4:00 pm (with a last entry at 3:30 pm) from Wednesday to Sunday, plus bank‑holiday Mondays. Bookings are available online but not required; early reservations are recommended during peak periods.
