Planning Your Visit
The Museum is located in the city’s oldest and most popular park — the Auckland Domain. This expansive area is a respite from the rush and bustle of the city, just minutes away.
From playing fields to formal gardens and ponds edged by century-old trees, there is much to see here. Features for visitors include the Winter Garden, Fernz Fernery and duck ponds. Close by is Parnell, Auckland´s oldest suburb. Distinctive historic buildings combine with retail and vibrant cafes making Parnell Village a place to relax and people watch, as well as shop.
