2 levels of information!n: i love how much info is packed into the space. They used the area really well.nTheres an exhibition regarding WW2.. informative and thought-provoking to a certain extent. Theres also exhibits on the wildlife and the origins to modernisation of new zealand.nI spent 1.5hrs here. Would have been more if they hadnt close at 430pm.nnIt was nice to wander through the exhibits, reading everything. The staff were very nice and gave u space, whenever needed.nnNo admission fee but the museum runs on donation. Always happy to give, to maintain.
Honestly better than I thought, glad I decided to pop by instead of skipping. Got some very good information about historical wildlife and settlement, I loved the collections of shells and butterflies
I enjoyed coming in here, it offers more exploration and wonder than many museums as it’s set up as almost a school activity/ investigation center. It has things they encourage you to touch, drawers you open, places to explore and little info boards that open up. Even has a creative coloring in section for if you have a young one who gets bored.
Quaint museum with very informative panels ; I particularly liked the coverage on the wildlife and introduced animals like rabbits! in New Zealand. Turns out the only little blue penguin I saw, was in this museum albeit it is a taxidermied version nnThe museum does not charge an entry fee and has two floors. Great place to get acquainted on the various aspects of history the early travellers, wildlife, etc.
Interesting museum, contains exhibits from many fields, everyone will find something for themselves. It's impossible to be bored. Free entry, donation can be made in cash or by credit card
