The collection of fossils of many ancient animals here is very amazing, and the Maori cultural exhibition here is also colorful, showing the cultural characteristics of New Zealand in all directions, making people linger."Te Aro.Wellington Central Business District661m from downtownHighlights: The Te Papa National Museum of New Zealand is the largest museum in the southern hemisphere, located on the waterfront pier in Wellington, founded in 1963. The museum's name is Tepapa Tongarewa in Maori, which means "vessel of treasure". The museum has a rich collection of Maori culture, as well as Maori halls and art exhibits from the Pacific. If you want to know about the customs and history of New Zealand, come here. The museum is divided into six floors. The first floor hall is lined with museum shops and cafes. The second to sixth floors display different themes such as geology and biology, changes in landforms, Maori survival and culture, folklore and art, and outdoor sculpture balconies. There are many interesting interactive displays in the museum. In the House of Earthquakes, you can feel the shock of the shaking of the earth and the mountains. You can also have face-to-face close contact with the king physalis squid, and watch 3D animations to understand the mystery of its life. There are also facilities such as a "discovery center" built for children. In addition to these permanent exhibitions, the museum often holds some short-term contemporary art and cultural exhibitions and other events, which require separate tickets to visit. The museum itself is also very interesting. Before leaving, don't forget to stand in front of the exhibition hall to see this expensive building and the sculpture in front of it - the tree twisted out of wire, it looks like the real thing .Show Less - 5.54.3/529 ReviewFrom23.48based on 1525 reviews"Wellington is the capital of New Zealand, and although a variety of animals such as cattle and sheep are visible across the country, the Wellington Zoo in the capital is also the systematic authority to showcase the species."Newtown3.7km from downtownHighlights: Wellington Zoo is the second largest zoo in New Zealand after Auckland Zoo.

It is definitely worth trying."Oriental Bay.Oriental Bay1.5km from downtownHighlights: Oriental Bay is a district of Wellington, located at the foot of the northern slope of Mount Victoria, 1.5 kilometers southeast of the city center.
