Wonderful experience and well worth it. If you visit New Zealand, you owe it to yourself to understand the place. The history of the island, animal, and people was easy to understand and entertaining.

We had a fabulous knowledgeable enthusiastic guide in Samir. Fabulous experience guiding us through this amazing museum. There is so much to see a guide is recommended and he kindly suggested what we do in our free time. We practically spent the whole day there. We visited the Gallipoli section which was fantastic powerful and sadly with what's going on in the world we have learned little free. We had a break in the cafe and the food and service was excellent despite being extremely busy.
Thank you to Samir and the fabulous producers of this museum.

$35 for international visitors! Yeah,nah… not happening. We will use your WIFI, drink your tea and visit the shop but we refused to be blackmailed into spending $35 each for something sponsored by the NZ Government & corporations I’m keeping my hard earned pension money in my pocket thank you very much. Give it a miss.
