Went with the kids and partner to the butterfly exhibit. Before getting to the butterflys, there is a super cool interactive science based play area which we all found super cool and entertaining. That in itself took a couple of hours. The butterfly enclosure its self is very large and beautiful. Lots of gorgeous plants and thousands of beautiful butterflys. Quite the experience. Some very cool spiders to be seen as well!
We paid for a family pass + 2 kids to get into the Science and Butterfly section. Plenty of interesting and interactive activities. We spent approximately 2 hours but didn't quite see it all. Overall there is plenty to see in the free sections as well as the paid. Slightly expensive for the 6 of us, however still enjoyed our time and worth seeing. There is a food court available.
The Science museum was brilliant for both kids, they loved it and the interactive nature of all the stations. Our older son, who loves museums, also enjoyed exploring the museum itself and looking at the exhibits. We all thoroughly loved the butterfly house!Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot sure
We visited the museum on March 2024. There are so many interesting exhibition at place, like history of Polynesia, new zealand, science center, and so on. Worth to visit and good to know more about Otago region and Southern New Zealand.Visited onWeekendWait time1 hr+Reservation recommendedNo
Spent the whole afternoon here yesterday - so much to see and do. Debated over whether to pay to enter science part but really glad we did. Lots of fun, hands on activities and the butterfly house. Fun for us even as adults. Would be good to see things in the gift shop that relate to the museum displays rather than/as well as the usual gift shop things.
I had an amazing experience at the Otago Museum. There were lots of live butterflies, lively science exhibits, fossils, and technological displays to explore. It’s a great place for both adults and children. Definitely a must-do!Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
My boys have great time at the science room. We visited the tropical forest where butterflies all fly around you. Boys were excited when butterflies rest on their fingers and shirts. Definitely worth to revisit.Visited onPublic holidayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
If you find yourself in Dunedin but have poor weather, this museum is a nice diversion. It takes about 1 hour if you breeze through and 2 hours if you like to read all the placards. Entry is free but you should donate on the way out. Guys will probably like the collection of swords and daggers and the room full of replica model ships is very cool. If pressed for them start on floor 2 and work your way down. Floor 1 contains mostly artifacts from the entries Polynesian Islands and NZ region. The skeletons of the enormous but extinct birds are incredible.
Excellent museum that is largely free! A few sections were ticketed but there was still plenty to see in the free sections. We easily spent about 3 hours there, and would have enjoyed more time if we didn't have to leave for our afternoon activity.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
