A great set up, journey and experience
A perfect way to get a brief introduction to the museum and what it has to offer. Gave us a good basis on what to go back to and look at in more detail. Also we learnt things that we would have probably just walked past if on our own. Good value and the right length of time for our kids. Thanks
Our guide was really good, i learned a lot during 1 hour, thank you !
This was a great way to become familiar with the different sections within Te Papa. I would have enjoyed a little more of the history and purpose of such a museum.

Great for the whole family
Guide was very knowledgeable and helpful, exhibits are a mix of interactive and visual, kids and adults enjoyed the experience. Gives a great overview of the museum, you can then stay and explore the areas not covered by the tour. Definitely check out the Gallipoli exhibit - very moving and interactive with video, audio and hands on. Was developed in partnership with Weta and you can tell a great deal of detail, work and planning went into a fantastic exhibit.
