Amazing place to visit, great service. Was a parent helper for a group of young primary school kids, really enjoyed and explored so much. Virtual reality was a breathtaking experience.
This has to be one of the best museums in New Zealand. So interactive and good for a range of ages of kids and adults alike. It doesn't have a fancy big budget building but the thought and content is fantastic. Dave, the space guy knows a lot too. The VR experience included in the entry cost was cool and the kids liked earning a badge by completing challenges. Such a great stop on a road trip.
A true hidden gem. I'd put it in the top 3 small museums of NZ, as it's easy to spend a couple hours here despite the small size and even dedicated space nerds will come out having learned something new.nnThe owner is very friendly and informative; it's easy to see that this place is a labor of love.
Stopped here with the kids to break up the trip to Taupo. Was really impressed with the whole setup, everything is super interactive so we spent about an hour and a half working our way through. Was cool to see 80's space Lego from when I was young, battle my son on the space landing to see who could use the least fuel. The VR experience was really awesome too. The kids never got bored and liked watching some of the videos from the space station on how they shave, brush their teeth and get a hair in space. There is a fair balance of info on all countries that have been to space, incl India, China and of course the Russian cosmonauts. Some cool and unique items from space travel trips incl a USSR sleeping bag. Dave is friendly and helpful, its really worth stopping and checking it out.
An excellent place to take children and learn about space. Interactive With VR tour live feed from space badges to earn and quizzes plus computer games. Excellent day out
