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.
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!
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!
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.nnWould 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.
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.
