Claphams Clocks - The National Clock Museum is a unique
visitor attraction presenting one of the largest collections
of clocks in the southern hemisphere, established in the 1940's
by Whangarei resident Archibald Clapham. Come "face to face"
with these amazing timepieces, hear the unique chimes and
cuckoos whilst learning about the international history of
clock making. This is an educational and entertaining experience
for the whole family.
A full range of visitor services and souvenir shop is situated
in the adjoining "Quay Info" information centre. Gather information
on the numerous attractions and activities in Whangarei and
Northland, as well other regions in New Zealand. A free booking
service is offered for transport, accommodation, tours and
activities. Stamps, phonecards and maps, plus an extensive
range of quality souvenirs are also available.
The idyllic surroundings of Whangarei's Quayside also allows
visitors to enjoy a harbourside stroll, a meal in one of the
many cafe's and restaurants or a browse in the nearby craft
shops after their museum visit.
