Great activity for kids and adults alike. Expect amazing views and lots of fun walking through old tunnels and rooms dug/buried in the stone. I highly recommend a flashlight or at the very least make sure your cellphone light works well.

A scenic spot with loads of history associated with it. The reserve is easily accessible by car or foot. Car park is also available. Ideal for a quick visit if in the vicinity.

A really cool place to explore, make sure you bring a torch!
There's a nice walk around the head with a few different pathways. On a nice day you get lovely clear views of Rangitoto from one side and auckland from the other.
The military buildings and tunnels are a great time and very interesting to have a look around in, if not a bit creepy feeling in the dark!
Very green and lush grass make it a great picnic spot and easy parking makes it even better!
Good for a short stroll or a longer time for some exploration.

A wonderful place to explore. Limited parking up the top - park at the bottom and walk is a good idea. Take a torch and explore the tunnels - kids love it, just be careful if the cliffs.

This is the best spot to see the whole city from the top. It's a great location for taking photos and you can also see the Browns island from there. there is also a couple of toilets up there.

Interesting place. Video almost essential viewing to give context. Parking lines would be handy. Some people have no idea that others may want to park too.

A beautiful reserve overlooking the bay. Plenty of paths for walking, as well as the conservatory department "huts" hosting historical videos about the North Head hill. You can see the disappearing gun, used as one of Auckland's main defence against any water attack. You can also find fortresses around the reserve; some are still open explore though most are already sealed.

Love this place. Nice to walk around abc explore the underground cave/establishments. Very well maintained. Good to come here with kids, saw a lot of kids having fun looking at the cannon baller and caves.
