You can use almost any bill with an address to prove residency but you need photo id to prove it is yours. It would be better apply for a "My Museum" card at the desk which will then allow entrance without the other paperwork. I found the Staff at the entrance were incredible patient and flexible when dealing with our multitude of questions.

This wasn't there when we visited.

Hi Carl, I recall that you needed to provide proof of residency - if you have any kind of ID which shows your Auckland address you should be fine.

Hi there Robert, if it's a large group of people, we suggest booking in advance, but for small parties it should be fine to just show up on the day! If you have any other questions, feel free to fire them through!

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. :)

Hi Patrick It is on at 11am, 12pm 13:30 all year round. In the Sumer the same times plus 14:30.

There is lots of parking and it's free parking.

Chilly chilly chilly! You should be prepared for cool weather/ fine but cold and rain. Bring layers and warm shoes/boots. You could experience beautiful sunny but cool days. Sometimes its also a matter of comparison: if you are used to warm climate you will feel the cold so much more. If youre used to cooler weather youll take it in your stride In June go to North NT or Qld for some warmth!

yes u can. they do have lifts there

Yes it is advisable to book in advance.
