Overview

Tāmaki Paenga Hira Auckland Museum is a must-see place to experience our rich culture. Our Museum tells the story of New Zealand, its place in the Pacific and its people.

Auckland Museum is housed in an historical building within a tranquil park which has beautiful views of the harbour. It is a place to discover and learn about New Zealand's history and stories.

Since 1929, the Museum has also served as place of remembrance for the many Aucklanders who have sacrificed their lives in war.

Whether you have an hour spare or a whole day, visit Auckland Museum to gain a deep understanding of New Zealand culture and heritage.

PLEASE NOTE:
Te Marae Ātea Māori Court & Pacific Galleries are temporarily closed until further notice due to essential maintenance work.

Sorting, ranking, and search results

Activity name

Cool Destinations wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Destinations over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
