Explore Auckland Museum’s Māori, Pacific, natural history, and war exhibits with flexible admission and optional skip-the-line access.

“Nice to be able to skip the line, but the line is actually not very long and the staff is a bit unfamiliar with the process of redeeming the tickets. The museum is good, with lots of references and artifacts related to Maori culture. Serve as a good introduction for someone to start delving into the very local part of New Zealand.”
