Great day out
I had a great day out to Auckland museum. It was inexpensive and well organised. The volcano area was so education and interactive. The War memorial area was such a beautiful tribute to the life's lost in the various wars.

Great museum
Best museum in New Zealand. The Auckland museum is spectacular. Such a great atmosphere. Great maps as very easy to get lost. Really enjoy visiting here

Fantastic! Beautiful building
The exhibitions were amazing! Set out wonderfully. I loved the interactive parts but my husband was totally amazed by the size of the Moa skeleton! Well worth the walk from our hotel which was 3.4km!!

Must See in Auckland
Great place to see history of New Zealand and military past in one place. This is a combination of a museum of New Zealand and a solemn witness to New Zealand’s military past.

Great Exhibits. Dysfunctional skip the line process.
We still had to stand in line to redeem our skip the line passes. A bit crowded on New Year’s Eve with families. Exhibits were informative and well designed.

Some hours at museum in Auckland
A very big museum grouping not only war, but also ethnographic and natural museum. Museum name is a bit deceiving: I went there primarily to see a couple of WW2 exhibit airplanes (Zero and Spitfire) and had the nice surprise to find a lot of other interesting exhibits among them a "doodle bug bomb" the V1 the Nazis launched towards UK. Very interesting halls depicting the Māori history and culture, as well as halls with of Aotearoa present and extinct fauna. One hall devoted to the geological formation of Aotearoa, with a live demonstration of an earthquake... So for the visitor three hours won't be enough, better consider half a day. Nice coffee shop at the end of the tour will serve cakes and a great cappuccino!

It is a wonderful facility that expresses the historical facts head on.
It is a wonderful museum that shows Māori culture and history, and a national attitude towards dignity as a people. I was impressed by their willingness to tell the truth without romanticizing war or Māori culture. I liked the fact that it conveyed volcanoes not only in terms of spirituality but also in terms of geologic aspects. I hope to visit again someday.
