Highly recommend

SyLeigh_W, Mar 2026

The museum was a great way to spend half the day, the Gallipoli display was exceptional and would highly recommend this. The other areas were a great insight to the cultural heritage of NZ too

Worth the visit

Jeff_F, Jun 2025

Spent several hours visiting. The museum has several levels of informative galleries about New Zealand history. Everyone who found out I was visiting New Zealand for the first time recommended I visit. I'm glad I did.

Best Museum Ever!!

Fiona_M, Mar 2025

Best museum ever!! Our only problem was lack of time to see it all. We could have easily spent 5 days seeing and reading it all!

ANZAC experience

My husband is in the Australian Army. He was very moved by the ANZAC experience, as was I. We spent so long there we really didn't see much else.

Amazing/Moving Experience

Had a wonderful time learning the history, our favorite experience was by far the war exhibit, how it’s created was very moving and had a lot more appreciation. Highly recommended
