A great little museum with loads of information. During our visit, we had the chance to create our own art and photograph them as portraits. There is also a treasure hunt to spot particular items on a laminated sheet which keeps the young and old entertained. The astronomy photography was also on and that was truly spectacular to view. Bear in mind that it was an extra fee to view but well worth it. We also explored the kids area which was interesting and would also suit children of the younger age group. Overall a great place to visit especially if you’re looking for an indoor activity.
This is a beautiful place with art, a good one for the kids to be out of the house and go read some history of this country and mostly thr Waikato area. Really beautiful art and good customer service as well they are very welcoming and informative
A beautiful and cool place to go and its free entry. They do have costs to a couple of displays but the rest of the museum is just fine. They have a lift to get people on wheelchairs, prams and walking frames up to every floor. Great displays and friendly and helpful staff. Thank you
I really enjoyed the exhibitions in the museum, the one in the most of the photos is the Weaving Exhibition. Taken in February 2025.nnThere were many other permanent and very informative displays in other rooms.nnFrankly I didn’t see the art gallery exhibits as I’d spent so long in the museum nnSpoke to a lovely gallery assistant on various subjects, she was very helpful.
We come for Excite separate interactive learning area for kids, my girl looooves it, it's $10per kid which seems a little steep for quite a small area, but there are family passes and I think the equipment and knowledge is worth it, and when she's soooo persistent with her requests to come here, its gotta be good.nnThey could really do with more interaction, I understand from others reviews that there used to be a lot more to this section that was taken away,so hopefully, there's more to come...
