Te Ana Maori Rock Art Centre

Some interesting tidbits here and there. But a lot of what they offer is based upon assumptions or interpretations af Maori drawings. The lady that showed us through was very knowledgeable and I learnt more from listening to her than looking and reading the exhibits

A very nice museum that covers rock art and Maori culture. There were several video presentations as well. A must see for understanding Maori culture.

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit. I feel like I have actually had a glimpse into true Maori history. Our guide was fascinating. This should be a priority for anyone visiting Timaru!

A very interesting exhibit. We had seen this rock art in various places, but this explained all that is known about it. There was no tour available when we visited, but everything was well organized and clearly presented.The attendant suggested we should plan to spent 45 minutes to an hour to see it. We were there for an hour and 45 minutes and didn't quite have a chance to view all the videos. I suggest the amount of time depends upon the interests of your group. Younger kids would have enough after a half hour. If you want time to read all the materials and view all the videos, you might allow 2 or 2 1/2 hours, or more.I consider it worthwhile if you are interested in archeology, Maori History, etc.

Quite interesting but a little pricey for what it is

Very informative and interesting. We made a reservation for a guided tour at 10am on a Sunday morning. Unfortunately the guide didn't show up. But we were allowed a self guided tour, which was fine, because all the displays are explained very well.

Rock Art is described so well here, the guide so informative and descendant of the local iwi. Seen the real art around Duntroon and now understand.
