Auckland Musuem
The Auckland museum embraces a vast variety of the Pacific
Island and Maori culture displays as well as the exhibits
focusing on the history of New Zealand throughout the 19th
century. It is a recommended first stop for anyone wishing
to obtain a comprehension about New Zealand and its people.
There is also an activities center for children in the
natural world exhibit on the first floor.
Skytower
At the height of 328m (1076ft), this majestic Skytower is
part of the Sky City complex and the tallest structure in
the southern hemisphere. There is an elevation service which
sends you up to the observation deck in less than one
minute. The views from the top of the city and the harbor
are magnificent, and there are all kinds of visual and
interactive displays as well as the Sky Lounge for you to
relax and enjoy a cold or hot drink.
Auckland Zoo
Both native and imported wildlives are gathered and can be
studied at the Auckland Zoo where visitors are allowed to
come eye to eye with some awesome animals. There is also an
imitation of the African plains in the Pridelands. A very
good outing trip for family with children.

The make-believe feature of this real-life historical town
includes the staff who are costumed in the traditional 19th
century attires. The village consists of captivating
