Best Maritime museum in New Zealand

S	Selina Spain on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Naturally a very informative and thorough space of maritime culture & history. I recall the library is not open every day. Free for residents. If you take your time and take in what is here, it's a nice, relaxing spot away from the busy-ness. I liked the short audio story selection with comfy chairs.

D	Dr Brett Heagren on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I feel that the NZ Maritime Museum is an unappreciated gem of Auckland. Every time I have been here with kids in "tow" it has never been a disappointing experience. My kids absolutely love it, although the rocking cabin did scare my youngest :) . This is a great Museum to visit, but I really want them to open up a maritime route to Torpedo Bay Navy Museum! It would be an amazing experience to take a vessel directly from this Museum from across the harbour to another very well established museum which shares a common heritage!!
l	linda madden on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This was actually the best museum I’ve been to in NZ. The displays were fantastic - varied, interesting and with loads of information. It really exceeded my expectations and I’ll be back to spend more time to really look around. We also went on the heritage boat, which was a really fun experience. The crew were so friendly, and let us have a go at doing lots of stuff while sailing. So great that you can actually go out on the boats and not just look at them! It really was a great day out, and I’ll definitely be going back!

C	Connie on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ So much money and effort has gone into making this a thoroughly interesting and insightful exhibition - and it’s paid off. From immigrants sailing to New Zealand, to the America’s Cup and Olympics, there is incredible detail into the history and stories behind key maritime events in NZ, and goes right up to the current day with facts and quotes dating 2020. There are many interactive features, such as some screens where you can design your race boat on a computer screen and race against the computer simulation or with friends to see who has designed the fastest. My favourite section was reading and discovering about the people who travelled over to NZ for a new life from the UK, what their boat life was like (seeing various cabins) and what they did when they arrived. It is an extremely entertaining and immersive experience and I thought excellent value. I was not expecting such a detailed, interesting, up-to-date and genuinely captivating series of exhibitions.
