Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa

I recently visited this museum with my family and was thoroughly impressed by my experience. The museum had a wonderful collection of artifacts and exhibits that were both informative and engaging. The displays were well-curated and offered a fascinating glimpse into various aspects of history and culture.One thing that stood out to me was the attention to detail in the exhibits. Each item was carefully labeled and explained, which made it easy to understand the significance and context of each artifact. The staff was also incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, providing additional information and answering any questions I had.The museum was also very well-maintained and clean, which added to the overall experience. There are 4 floors, and the layout was easy to navigate. There were plenty of interactive exhibits that kept me engaged throughout my visit.Overall, I would highly recommend Te papa to anyone interested in history, art, or culture. It's a great place to learn something new and gain a deeper appreciation for the world around us

I will admit, I was not expecting much of this museum, but I was pleasantly surprised with a handful of the exhibits, especially Gallipoli: The Scale of Our War. That exhibit I spent the most time in, given all the detail, information, artifacts, diagrams, as well as several staff members giving explanation and context. Highly recommend if you are in the Wellington area!

One of the best museums I have ever visited.The National Museum of New Zealand, it houses amazing collections, stories, displays, and experience that will cater the interests of young and old.I really enjoy Galipoli exhibition with incredible details, well curated displays and heart-touching stories.The sections about nature and the stories of Māori and New Zealand are also very rich in information and entertaining at the same time. The can touch and feel and learn many things related to nature and lives surrounding us.My kids also enjoy our visit here and happy to go back.It is very disability friendly with ramps in many areas. It has cafes and the souvenir shops are also great. Parking is available at the surrounding area.

A must visit place at Wellington. Can explore the history and nature of NZ. There is a small bush and manmade nature outside the museum to feel the fresh air and nature. Very hygienic and well maintained art works. Need to pay for parking inside. The entry to the museum is free.

Modern and well organized (like everything in NZ) museum experience with focus on Polynesian (emphasis on Maori) history. Everything is wheelchair accessible and if you go early, not very crowded so you can enjoy displays in peace and quiet. The prices in the gift shop are high, so best to buy a souvenir elsewhere. Nice restaurants along the water nearby. Note that parking is available near the door for an hourly fee.Recommended when in Welly.

The visit of the museum was a phenomenal experience. The museum is completely free to visit.The museum is very accommodating. The staff at the help desk and the volunteers were very helpful and polite.The museum has 6 floors with wide ranges of displays. The world war 1 & 2 showcases just blow my mind.There is a big variety of exhibits that accommodates to all age groups. From dinosaurs, giants squids.I would highly recommend a visit.

This place is amazing with free interactive areas or areas where you pay...visited the Anzac display. It's just amazing that you see the tears, sweat, and emotion in every area. Also visited the nature one again its a eye opener of what is here.Would say allow a good amount of time to enjoy and see all.

What an absolutely phenomenal experience. The museum is completely free to visit, you just have to pay for parking. It only cost me $10 for 3 hours. But there is probably free parking in town, you would just have to walk over. The museum is very accommodating. It has accessibility and normal toilets, parents rooms, kids play rooms, lockers, money machines, cafes, a souvenir store, stairs and lifts. The museum itself is just incredible. With 6 entire floors to explore you could literally spend days here. It also has such a huge variety of exhibits that accommodates to all ages. My favourite floor was the animals and nature. From games for kids to dinosaurs, giants squids and an earthquake room... it was just such an amazing experience. I would highly recommend a visit.

Beautiful experience glad we came and had a look this museum is very thought out the people who works there was also very informative and nice very clean and well maintained for a public area all covid protocols are also very well followed even the toilets are clean. love all the exhibition it was an eye opener and just well thought out.
