This museum is huge! Great to get the history of Dunedin and its historical links with Melbourne Australia. A terrific place to visit!
hanks for your lovely review! Bugs: the Mega World Of Minibeasts is only on until 10 May, so you came at a good time! Free Wifi is always great :)
Our boys aged 6 and 2 loved the Animal Attic. This is a nice museum, wish we could have spent longer there. Only had an hour so we rushed through but thoroughly enjoyed what we did see.
If you are interested in an organized layout of animals, cataloged in order, with interesting bits of information, this is the museum for you. I learned much, just wandering around looking at the exhibits. It was raining that day in Dunedin, so it was a perfect day out.
The old part of the Otago Museum called the Animal Attic is a classic Natural History environment. The Maori, Pacific Island and Settler's exhibits are very well done and updated. Love this place on a rainy day!
Thanks for your review! Sounds like you managed to squeeze a lot in to your day, we hope you and your little ones enjoyed the visit.
Had trouble parking so could only stay 2 hours. Not enough time to get around Well worth visiting,especially on a cool and cloudy day.Looked a good restaurant but did not have time to visit.
Always enjoyable. Plenty for children to see and be involved in. Due to the heat in the butterfly area it can be a bit overwhelming for little ones, keep it fairly short here and spend time in the activity area. This is marvellous too. The cafe is good and the little gift shop delightful. Coming here is a good back up for the holidays and somewhere you can return to and is always stimulating and good fun.
Thanks for your review - stay tuned for more news on the proposed redevelopment of Discovery World!
