They have done their best with limited content. But the building is brilliant and the viewing platform is one of its attractions.
We took a tour of the museum with a guide, which is a nice way to get a good summary of what is there before you go back and spend a little time looking at the exhibits that most interest you. It was fascinating to hear about the history of the building and the town of Rotorua. The movie is a little cheesy, but worth the 20 minutes. I wish we had had more time to explore it further.
Interesting visit for learning the history of NZ and Maori. The building once served as a night club and a mud spa, very nice view from the top.
在这里可以见到以前的政府建筑,非常的漂亮,带有浓浓的欧洲风球!时间够的话建议至博物馆内参访,可以停留约一个小时!
Great way to spend a day. Former bathhouse, alternative medicine, A great movie with a feeling of volcano eruptions, An educational experience on Maori Culture, polite and informative guide, a nice cafe
Fabulous place to go with children : 2 - 11. We all had a fun time learning about body, exploring old baths, watching movie about Tarawera, and taking in local Maori history. We didnt budget enough time , we needed about 4 - 5 hrs to cover it all.
Very interesting & a great hands on area for kids!! Loved the cinema & the volcano experience! Grandkids loved it all! Even the Maori "old stuff" they found interesting!
Have been a few times love learning about history walking around viewing it all overall enjoy ever moment in this place looking out of views wish I had this place as my home the top floor the stair well love it all will always b back again
Free tour provided by volunteers. An elderly Maori lady lead our tour, and we thoroughly enjoyed her stories and excitement when she was talking about the Maori culture and history. Recommend to go on Tuesday afternoon for the free tour.
My husband and I visited Rotorua and the museum in early March. And it's a good place for spend half day and know more about the city.First, the Museum locates in the government garden which is a very nice place for taking pictures. And the Museum has several parts: the exhibition of Rotorua's history, exhibition of the history of the museum itself, a small cinema to show the video about Rotorua and a place for kids to explore and learn science. It can provide sufficient information for you to understand more about the city and New Zealand. One tip is that the voice over of the video will be either on Mandarin or English. Since there's no subtitles, better choose the one suit you the most.
