There's so much to take in and learn, there's no rush to do it all. Lots of different themes, I'm sure everyone can find something they're interested in. Very wheelchair accessible, lift access to all levels, wheelchair accessible toilets and quiet rooms. Sometimes the signage is a bit small print but most of the exhibits had a tablet or computer set up to read more about objects which was great.
This museum absolutely blew us away, we genuinely wish we could have spent all day here! If you have kids, like butterflies, or are young at heart and prefer interactive exhibits, you have to buy tickets for the science center! It is so much fun, completely engaging, and the butterfly exhibit is unreal, like we couldn't believe it was just there, hiding inside of a museum! It was seriously our favorite thing we did in Dunedin but even if you don't do the science center, the free access area is still so impressive! We ran out of time and had to rush the upper levels a shame because the animal attic alone deserves at least 15 minutes but we left happier and a lit bit more knowledgeable than we'd been before!
Great museum with extensive collections! Plan time to enjoy it thoroughly as it a comprehensive site. This is a must do in Dunedin at there is no charge for the exhibits. Fees for the planetarium and other presentation rooms. Nice gift shop and cafe on site as well.
The planetarium and science center needs tickets all but is free. The Museum is a captivating blend of culture and architecture. Its modernist design with sleek lines and glass panels creates a visually appealing exterior. Inside, the exhibits are thoughtfully curated and arranged, taking visitors on a journey through time and showcasing the history and culture of Otago and the Pacific region. The exhibition design is meticulous, utilizing lighting, graphics, and multimedia elements to bring the displays to life. Sustainability is a priority, with eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient systems incorporated throughout the building. The museum actively engages the community through educational programs and interactive exhibits. Amenities like a café and gift shop add to the visitor experience. Overall, the Otago Museum is a remarkable fusion of culture, architecture, and sustainability. It offers an enriching exper
Otago Museum is such a fun place to go, especially the butterfly enclosure and the science discovery part. Lots of high-level engagement for both adults and children. Awesome experience.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot sure
Very nice place. We'll set up, the interactive side of the exhibits were loads of dun for the family. We did the Butterfly experience, VERY WARM! Don't dress in too many layers to go in or you'll melt lol.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
I take my boys often. The science communicators are great with adults and especially kids. The traveling exhibits are always fun. The interactive exhibits and science area is so much fun.
We had the best afternoon, we went to the Buttfly experience and the Predators of the Ocean Exhibit There was 2x adults and 1x child combined entry tickets that were slightly discounted. The 360 degree dome was a great experience, the movie showed the story of a smaller ancestors of the dolphins from birth until death, everyone enjoyed the whole 45 mins. The Butterfly experience was amazing, very very hot and humid though. Saw large blue butterflies, free flying finches, large tarantulas but they were in their own display habitates We went into the child science explore area and found things to do including a twisty slide We had lunch in the cafe, the food was well priced and reasonable large servings. I asked the busy staff for salt and pepper and was immediately given them. Bought a $3 erasable pen for the child as a souvenir Totally recommend to visit the museum for children and adults if you are in Dunedin.
We loved the interactive centre but there are lots of awesome displays. The Pacifica one was amazing. We should've allowed a lot more time to get around to make the most of this great facility. The kids 20 and 22! got distracted making dams, making up faces and other fun activities as well as finding unusual butterflies! Go in the morning just in case you get distracted!
Really great experience! Staff were super helpful, also a Cafe for fuel. Butterfly house was enthralling, well worth the price. So much entertainment for children, and big children. The museum had hours of exhibits to see. The planetarium is next level! The host was super knowledgeable, and open to all sorts of questions. Learned alot! The dome screen was excellent, and for $7 will definitely be going again next visit.
