Porirua: Porirua City has an atmosphere and life of its own with the largest indoor and bulk retail complexes in the region. A must-see is Pataka, Porirua's Museum of Arts and Culture, which showcases the best in contemporary Maori, Pacific Island and New Zealand art. Pataka is now host to the Melody Farm Music exhibit, an interactive display full of musical instruments, jukeboxes and record players dating back to the 1840s. Other museums in the area include the New Zealand Police Museum, which is packed full of old police uniforms, medals, regalia and information about disasters and historic crimes. There are many walking tracks around the area, including easy walks around the coastland. The Porirua Trust Aquatic Centre is fun for the whole family, with waterslides, a rapid river and spa pools. Other attractions include go-karts, fishing trips, three golf courses and Aotea Lagoon for family entertainment. There are beaches, where you can enjoy kayaking, surfing, windsurfing, boating, swimming and diving. For recreational fishers, there are several boat launching ramps or the Mana Marina for those who require a more permanent mooring. Off the coast lies Mana Island, home to many endangered species such as the takahe.
