very interesting
Great value for money was a rainy day so could not go out on the boat but so interesting and the guides were lovely ,it said on the voucher 1pm but we got there early so we went on the earlier tour which suited us.

An educational place for kids and adults
This place looks small from the outside but it is the exact opposite when you are inside. I did not expect for it to be full of stuff and information. I enjoyed everything, especially the immigrants part. Some parts were presented in an engaging and fun manner which I really appreciate. Would recommend people to visit this place while you are in Auckland.

Really interesting and fun visit
The museum has lots to see and learn, it looks deceptively small but goes a long way back! The exhibits were well laid out and there were interactive features particularly in the Americas Cup section which were fun. Cannon firing and heritage boat trips looked good too. Well worth a visit!

A must do in Auckland
There are many different parts and exhibitions to the museum, put together very well to keep ones interest. Well worth a visit whether an overseas guest or a local guest to Auckland. I especially enjoyed the exhibition on the America Cup and on Sir Peter Blake.
