Visitor reviews

It's an awesome place for all ages

A review by Anonymous

We explored all areas of Te Papa, it was a first visit for my children and nephews. There were ramps and lifts available and we got around without getting too tired. We could take the pram to all areas of Te Papa and it had something for everyone. My children loved the Anzac display and the kids' area.

It's an awesome place for all ages.

It's well worth a visit

We visited the wildlife display at night. There were lifts from the ground floor to where the attraction was, so if I was feeling tired I could take the lift. The top highlight was looking at the displays of the native birds.

It's well worth a visit!
