Very hands on/informative staff.

Mount / Mt Victoria Walk

Gets a bit crowded at the summit.
But walking up is a nice quiet bushwalk. Some of the best views of Wellington from here.

Museum of New Zealand
4.5/5
Beautiful place with so much information to take in.
The fact that it is free just makes it that much better. But definitely well worth the money to check out the current exhibits.

Cape Palliser Seal Colony and Lighthouse Walk
5.0/5
The stairs up to the lighthouse are a bit vicious but it is all worth it for the view.
Plus the hundreds of fur seals that live along the coast made this one of my favourite spots in New Zealand thus far.
