★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Historic and peaceful place. A beautiful garden is there to sit, neat and clean. Must go at the time of sunset.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It's a sad place. I mean... war is just the most difficult topic to explain. The dates, the authorities involved, the countries, the reasons that actually led to real killing of people, young, good looking human beings!!!
Anyway, the beautiful sculpture of a huge guardian and a tiny hope makes me feel like we'll reach a point when this planet will be only for fun and not, NOT for fights!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The large tower is actually a Bell Tower, it was only when the rope puller of the full set of brass bells died; Wellington stopped hearing the bells play "Rainbow Connection"; at exactly 12.00PM every single weekday, to remind all those working in the city that it was time to stop for lunch.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nicely set out. Reverent without being too fussy. Impressive building. Felt appreciative while browsing through the names and obvious sacrifice. Glad I looked around.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This exhibition is spectacular. If your in Wellington it's worth a visit. A sad story in our world history brought to life in a awe-aspiring sensory overload.
Her the story and experience the trenches of Gallipoli. The sound, the smell even.
It's a shame it won't be a permanent part of the war memorial for much longer. Bring plenty of time as there's plenty to see and ponder.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very fitting place to come and reflect on the war heroes and the horrors of the wars. It's very calm and had a lovely view over the city. The area is a stunning wife open space just up from the city. Currently with the war exhibit with scale models of the great war battles for which are famous in nz it makes visiting both the memorial and the museum well worth it

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ As an ex military service man, I have always had it on the to do list, to visit the National War Memorial. I've often watched the ANZAC service on TV but you don't get a sense of the scale or presence of the site. It was a pity the building was closed but I knew that prior to arriving. A solemn but fitting tribute. We will remember them.
