À faire absolument

Une expérience géniale, qui prend + de 2h donc attention aux horaires de fermeture. Les employés nous ont guidés pour avoir le temps de faire toutes les activités et elles étaient toutes plus interessantes les unes que les autres. Nous avons appris énormément de choses, nous avons ri, nous avons été émerveillés, nous nous sommes extasiés devant les huskies, bref je recommande à 100% Sami & Solenn, 24 ans

Un musée aussi instructif qu'interactif et ludique

Avec toutes les animations proposées on ne peut pas s'ennuyer dans ce musée. On a passé trois super heures à s'émerveiller et à s'amuser comme de grands gamins. Vive les musées néo-zélandais !
