Wonder at the natural beauty of the Wellington Caves. When visiting you have a choice of tours within three significant cave sites, so within a few steps beneath the surface you will unearth landscapes so distinct you won’t stop at one. Once you hit sunlight again, grab a magnifying glass and examine fossils from a million years ago in our Discovery Lab or simply enjoy a quick bite and drink at the Visitor Experience Centre. While you’re there sneak a souvenir to surprise someone at home or to entertain on return trip. Keep an eye out for our free Ancient Landscapes exhibition and immerse yourselves in a timeline where ancient seas, megafauna and the nation’s first people shaped the landscape you see today.
