The museum offers a concession for Hāpai Access Cardholders and Essential Companion entry. Please visit https://okainsbaymuseum.co.nz/ for details.

It is recommended that visitors dress for visiting an outdoor museum. Paths are uneven, gravelled or grassed, so please wear covered comfortable shoes and watch for trip hazards. Also, please be aware that the museum's internal spaces are not temperature controlled.

If required, umbrellas are available from the ticket office. Umbrellas must not be taken into the collection spaces, please leave them outside the entrances.

Please email the museum regarding any particular accessibility needs prior to your visit so the staff can work with you to maximise your visit and experience at the museum.

Note:
Currently, Okains Bay does not have potable water so we do not recommend drinking tap water. Fresh drinking water is brought into the museum and is available free from the museum tearoom located at the front of the Colonial Hall.
