Bit of a curate's egg. The memorial aspect related to those who served in the military was superb and, of course, the Maori section was excellent. But there was close to nothing about the colonial as…Full review by AllanJGJ

Not a world-class museum (for example, the dinosaurs are all reproductions), but fun to go through, with many exhibits, giving a good overview of New Zealand's culture, history and fauna. It's an en…Full review by jonfF6639NX

I visited this museum on my recent trip to Auckland and found it to be misleading by its name and over priced. It is listed on the Hop-On-Hop-Off Bus map as the War Memorial Museum, however there is …Full review by RockyBubbles
I plan to be in Auckland for 3 full days and I believe I will go to the Auckland Musuem on Oct 27 or 28, 2018. I am wondering if I need to get tickets to the Maori performance in advance or the day I go to the musuem. I plan to be at the museum first thing in the morning around 10am when it opens. Any advice or opinion would be welcomed. Thanks.

I think you can buy them at the entrance in the foyer as we did for some overseas friends. Maybe you could search trip advisor to see if you can buy tickets via. If you want your 3 days planned. A tour may be available that takes you to attractions which could include the show and welcoming. I am still learning to navigate the app. We have buses and Uber . You may like to try looking up Auckland transport which gives routes and times of buses near the area. Auckland museum does have a website and a booking system you would be able to find it through fb, Twitter or find their website. Auckland war memorial museam. Or try Auckland council web site. Have fun enjoy.

20 mins up hill. There is a free red bus that goes from Queen St (Auckland's main st) or Britomart terminus just 100m or so from cruise terminals. Alternatively you could take the Link bus for a couple of bucks. The free red bus or the link bus take you to all the main city sites and cruise ships dock right downtown so don't bother with expensive shore excursions. Locals are friendly and will be happy to point you in the right direction. Viaduct Harbour is also a short walk from the docks. you can see the old steam tug William c daldy there. ask for a look around. still coal fired and operational. :)
