★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Outstanding museum, the hands on kids area is awesome and loads of fun. The butterfly house is incredible too. Our kids really enjoyed the animals in the attic! There are some very old taxidermy animals up there. Also a huge whale skeleton!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I loved the Museum! The butterfly and sea monsters exhibits were well worth the entry fee. We started by going through the science section of the Museum, which had lots of really exciting interactive exhibits that encouraged experimentation and play, even in adults. Highlights included the tornado machine, the bumpy slide (you’ve got to try it), the multiplayer pacman machine, and the colour-mood dome. After this, we went through the sea monsters exhibit, where you could see replicas of real fossils of giant sea monsters that have been uncovered around the world. It was awesome to see how big and terrifying some of them are. I also really enjoyed being able to draw and scan my own sea monster into the virtual tank! The butterflies were my favourite overall. You can go into a hot, humid room and let butterflies land on you! There were also lots of beautiful birds flying around, and a giant centipede! (Or was it a millipede?) Either way, a day well spent.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We had the best afternoon, we went to the Buttfly experience and the Predators of the Ocean Exhibit ? There was 2x adults and 1x child combined entry tickets that were slightly discounted. The 360 degree dome was a great experience, the movie showed the story of a smaller ancestors of the dolphins from birth until death, everyone enjoyed the whole 45 mins. The Butterfly experience was amazing, very very hot and humid though. Saw large blue butterflies, free flying finches, large tarantulas but they were in their own display habitates We went into the child science explore area and found things to do including a twisty slide ? We had lunch in the cafe, the food was well priced and reasonable large servings. I asked the busy staff for salt and pepper and was immediately given them. Bought a $3 erasable pen for the child as a souvenir ? Totally recommend to visit the museum for children and adults if you are in Dunedin.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Love coming here on rainy days with my kid, and everything is so clean. Staff are super attentive and happy to help. When my child hurt himself they were very quick to help me and even gave him a lollipop.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My daughters enjoyed the Butterfly garden, the planetarium shows and the Science Centre was lots of fun too. We dint have enough time to see anything else, as the amazing activities at the Science Centre, kept them glued. It is definitely one place you should visit while in Dunedin.
