The National Museum of Tipapa in New Zealand is an important museum dedicated to the history of Australia's indigenous culture and paleontology. 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.

Wellington City and Ocean Museum is a professional museum that fully demonstrates the compatibility of cities and oceans and coexists harmoniously. There is a large area here to showcase New Zealand's splendid marine culture and how human culture coexists with the sea nature. Some contributions and experiences are worth reference.

The Carter Observatory is one of Wellington’s most famous attractions, and it has been around for more than 100 years. There are many books related to astronomy, and there are many interactive areas for tourists, so you can easily and simply learn a lot of esoteric astronomy knowledge, which is definitely worth visiting.

Wellington's Cable Car Museum is located at the foot of the famous Victoria Hills, which is also the starting point for the Victoria Hill Cable Car. It is a textbook for the development of cable cars in various periods of more than 100 years. After visiting Victoria Mountain, you may wish to come here for a walk and learn about it.

It was originally on the beach of petone, and you can visit it on a fishing holiday here, free of charge. There is a warm reminder at the door: If you come up from the beach, please clean the soles of your shoes. Come in and divide the exhibition area in the left and right, the left is the history of petone, there are soaps, cigarettes, and construction drawings. On the right is the introduction of Maori culture. Of course, it is much inferior to the Maori cultural village of Rutorua. It is a simple introduction, just look at it. My favorite is the trust of tourists here, many things put or hang on the bright surface, no one stares at your every move throughout the whole process, you can take pictures, you can always look seriously, no one will disturb you, of course, for this trust I can only return higher self-discipline. Because July is off-season, so I am the only tourist, huh, the lady at the door is very kind.
