Lovely museum with a few activities for kids. I wouldn't spend hours here but there were exhibits covering different time periods and a treasure hunt for kids too.Full review by Suzy M

This museum is very interesting, provides good history of those who braved the passage and settled in New Zealand. The boats are great to see. Schedule a tour of the harbor...very enjoyable.Full review by J9605EKlindaw

We planned all our day trips on our own but on the last day, we found Kiwi Day Tours owned and operated by a gentleman named Clay (Sorry I can't remember his last name) who took us on an all day tour of Mount Maunganui and Karanghake Gorge (Old abandoned gold mine). We only wish we had found Clay on day 1. He was a wealth of knowledge very reasonably prices. You can reach him at his company, Kiwi Day Tours or phone 0275454329. He will definitely show you the most interesting sites but if you're a Lord of the Rings fan, don't miss out on the N. Island Hobbiton tour and the S. Island Movie Set Tour w/the Weta props studio. There are just so many things to see and do there! Definitely see the museum in Auckland. The Maori exhibit and presentation along with a walk through the geothermal area in Tauranga. There's plenty of stuff we didn't do. So, you won't be bored but do get in touch with Clay. He will be a big help in utilizing your time.
Looking at your website, I can see your admission prices, but I cannot find a mechanism that allows me to advance purchase tickets online. Can that be done, or do you prefer people to just walk in? We are 4 adults from outside the Auckland region.

Hi Mike, apologies for the delay in our response, we didn't get a notification about this question. At present we don't take online bookings system for general entry for the public, just for harbour sailings as they can sell out. General admission tickets are always available at the front desk up until 4pm each day which is the last entry time for the museum.
Hi younglue, apologies we missed this question. Yes, we do have on-site luggage storage which is free of charge. Ask at our front desk if you want to make use of this service.
We intend to visit the Maritime Museum on the 5th of March. How Can I set my GPS to access the museum? Thank you very much. Can I have any advice for my visit?

I do not think you need your GPS to find it. It is well signed and close to the city and would be a short stroll there should you be staying in the city. I agree it is right on the waterfront …
I do not think you need your GPS to find it. It is well signed and close to the city and would be a short stroll there should you be staying in the city. I agree it is right on the waterfront where the cruise ships dock. We were on a cruise and our visit was part of a tour we booked on the cruise. I suggest that if you visit the museum make sure you include a sail on the harbour on their flat bottomed yacht it is very enjoyable and you get to see things around the harbour that you would not see just walking or driving around. You will enjoy your time in Auckland.
