Amazing FREE museum located not far from the centre of the city. If you're restricted to public transport then buses are available from the centre that stop almost directly outside. There's an exhibition showing off the stories of those that participated in the air force throughout history and the origins of it. There's hangars full of varied planes and even a couple you can venture inside to see how they look. Would say it's an easy 2 - 3 hour experience depending on how in-depth you want to go through it. The staff were very helpful at the front desk showing us all the different areas and going through the museum was an easy enough experience.
Really nice museum. My husband really enjoyed it. It was interesting for me too. The entry is for free, but there are some donation boxes where you can donate. We spent one and half hour in there.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
This is a fantastic and free museum! There are lots of things to read, do, and interact with! Fun for kids and grown-ups. We took our 1 year old and she enjoyed it a lot. There is a cafe on site too for coffee/food before or after. It was such a fun trip for the family. Thank you! There is plenty of parking and toilets nearby. We will be back for sure.
Wonderful and educational place to take kids and family. They have a good collection of vintage aircrafts that used to be part of New Zealand Airforce fleet. The museum is clean and beautiful, with huge parking space for visitors. It's completely FREE, which is nice, but we can book a group tour for $5. Plenty of activities for young kids, and there is a cafe if food and drinks are needed after the visit. Watch my video on YouTube about this museum: https://youtu.be/j05lG2WTDZQ
Awesome collection of aircrafts from the past spanning over multiple hangers. Great history behind every aircraft and its pilots. Free entry to the public, however a donation is welcome. Great little café to grab a light meal and a coffee while wondering around.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
If you are an aircraft enthusiast this is a must see/do, it's free entry but the guided tour is $5 00 but is definitely worth it as the volunteers are super friendly and knowledgeable so much New Zealand history all under one roof A+++Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
Excellent place to discover and learn the aviation history of birthplace of New Zealand Airforce. Free entry and free parking. Guided tours are available for $2 per person and under 12 go free. Also recommend playing simulation game for $8, mosquito war.
