Went to the museum as part of the 90 miles beach coach tour. Really enjoyed it, it's full of exhibits of Giant ancient kauri logs and carvings. It also offer a great range of souvenirs so you can take away your own piece of ancient NZ history with you.

We took our overseas family here recently when they visited. It was a really enjoyable experience! I learned a lot and found it so interesting. We have a lovely lunch in the cafe after. Made for a great day out and was well worth a bit of traveling to get there!
