Interesting guided tour, and then you’re free to explore the museum at your own pace afterwards - and we got the tickets on here for cheaper than general admission to the museum, so it was brilliant value!
We enjoyed the guided tour,at first we booked this not knowing that new Zealanders are free and we can’t cancel it but it was fun and we learned a lot with the guide of stephen he was so nice the whole tour i definitely recommend it.
Started our NZ trip with a visit at Te Papa on day 1, tour was very informative and varied, kept our 10yo engaged and then went to revisit museum areas afterwards.
Great Guide. Great overview. So much to see. Could have spent a whole day or more here.

Very interesting museum and terrific tour guide, would love to have gone back the second day but we didn't have time.
