Exciting experience! First time sailing.Never know sailing would be so convenient and cheap($21 for student). Mariners are so friendly and not crowded on weekday.

Excellent museum and well worth a visit. The Maori maritime heritage section was especially interesting. You can go for a sail on one of the boats (ideally book in advance for that) and the whole place is super interactive, equally for kids and adults. The reconstructed steerage cabin is another highlight. Really great attraction.

Excellent museum detailing much of NZ and Auckland’s maritime history. Interactive exhibits, plenty of auditory stations and videos, and heaps of official artifacts. I enjoyed how expansive it was so if you’re into old vs new boats you can find what you want. My dad spent hours in there and loved talking to the docent.My favourite part was getting a “ticket” to board and walking through the immigrant ship. My mother and I had a positive life and story, but my dad’s was something of a street worker who eventually died. Gave us a good laugh!Pristine facilities and all around A+. Dad said it was the best part of his trip.

Way beyond my expectations it is extremely interesting. Bought the combo ticket including 1hr boat trip in the bay which was also worth experiencing. Learned a lot about pacific boats and canoes, America’s cup NZ challenge but the best section for me was the immigration history one. Worth to see!

Came here to spend a couple of hours, and I walked out 5 hours later. I really enjoyed the cultural carvings and various sailing vessels from the Pacific. I'm going back there to see things that l haven't seen. I loved the ourside exhibits. It's the school holidays so there were lots of families and children. I loved the area, and it's right on the bike and scooter lanes, so it is easily accessible.

As someone with zero interest in boats maritime, it was a pleasant experience. Mainly targeting kids, great incorporation of technology and very interactive museum. My favorite part was the replica of the old home, total nostalgia for someone who grew up in NZ. Free entry for Aucklanders, great viaduct views from inside, local restaurants and take aways surround this location.

I'm really glad I decided to come here. There are sections focused more on the science and history of boats but also sections on the histories of the different people that have come to this island. Really fascinating!

Great display of various size and shapes of early waka. There’s plenty is boats to see used in the early days up to the modern day boats. Highly if ur of this visit is joining the sail boat that’s run by volunteers who were ex sailors who never ever get tired of doing their passion. Sailors allow us to experience pull ropes to set the sails, arranged the ropes and even allow us to experience turning the helm of the boat. The sail boat will pass under the bridge and will turn back to the dock. Truly a fun and entertaining!
