We came Classics Museum today and it's not a happy experience. The sign in the museum are quite…read moreconfused . Some cars have the sign says 'keep out of the car' or'do not open the door'. So we followed the signs and chose to pop in one car without the sign. Suddenly，the staff noticed us we can't do that. We felt sorry for that and kept us off the cars immediately. After couple minutes, another family was yelled by the stuff and we were shorked by his bad manner. After our visit, we found the staff and advised him to tell other coming visitors clearly to avoid the misunderstanding. However, he said the sign was absolutely clear and he didn't need any further explanation with annoying attitude. If you like classic cars just like us，you can come and please notice that keep out of all the cars！！！All，all，all the cars. And you only need 30 mins not 60mins like they recommended on their website.

To top it all off, the coffee is some of the best I've had, they obviously have spent a lot of time tuning the coffee machine, use of thermometers in the milk jug shows they really care. Scones are huge and tasty too, if you come just for the coffee in the magnificent stag hall, you won't be disappointed. The grounds are perfect for a picnic under the trees after a museum visit too.

Actually it can be quite confusing. The are halls, corridors, several floors, rooms dedicated to various themes and you can get lost in there. Not that the museum is really huge, but the the rooms interconnect in some way that defies rhyme or reason. Still I enjoyed my stay here and especially the Maori experience. Very educational as well as entertaining. Please follow the performers' requests as this is a cultural experience and you should be mindful. I highly recommend it. There was also a shark exhibit going on and some sort of student activity while I was visiting. This place is a hodgepodge of all things Auckland and New Zealand in general. Perfect for folks with a short attention span, because there is something new and different around every corner.

Known as the war memorial museum, this place was much more than that.

I am quirky, so I really enjoyed my visit here. The first floor was about indigenous Māori history and other Polynesian islands. The second floor's theme was natural history and the third floor was war history (Māori, World wars) and memorial dedicated to those who served from New Zealand. I spent about three hours looking at all the exhibits and displays. In another lifetime, I worked at an aviation museum and I was astounded to find an intact Zero plane here. With less than twenty in existence, to actually see one in person with actual World War Two history was the highlight of my visit. The museum has two eateries that's pretty decent in price with nice sitting areas to enjoy. The gift shop had original items I didn't see anywhere else on my trip. The museum is free to NZ residents but visitors have to pay admission. It's worth it to pay and visit here atleast once in your lifetime.
