I had a great time exploring Auckland Museum
I had a great time exploring Auckland Museum, the building itself is something to admire but once you step inside you'll be blown away by the different collections and exhibits on display. There was so much to see, just make sure you allocate enough time to stop and have a rest as it is a large museum. A definite must-see!

Since it was my first time in Auckland
Since it was my first time in Auckland, I was overwhelmed on which attraction to visit. Glad I choose this museum as it contains heaps of information. Pity that I didn't have more time to see the Maori cultural presentation. This is recommended to anyone who will visit Auckland.
