Tongan National Center

Located across the main road from the Vaiola Hospital. The oval shaped buildings are based upon Polynesian design and their roof struts are bound decorative coconut fiber. Here the visitor will find handicraft demonstrations, tapa in canoe making, wood carving, basket and mat weaving. Historic photographic and artifacts on loan from the Royal Palace are worth seeing. Why not join a lunch time show and an interesting two hour guided tour.
