Planetarium - Must do! Museums Wellington - Space Place Entry

Planetarium - Must do!

We loved our experience at Space Place. It was quite easy to navigate as it was small, but hopefully it would get upgraded in the future. The planetarium show was amazing! We watched Dynamic Earth. The first half was a documentary, and the other half is like a presentation of one of the staff members there. She had such a great speaking voice and I absolutely enjoyed hearing her talk about space. We went a little early and it was a bit rainy so we didn't get to use the Telescope but this is just one more thing we can look forward to doing next time. Shout out to the wonderful staff there as well. They were all very accommodating, friendly and kind. We had no issues with our booking whatsoever. 5/5 for me :)

Informative Trip with Breathtaking Views! Milford Sound Coach & Nature Cruise w Buffet Lunch - Ex Queenstown or Te Anau - Southern Discoveries

It was our first time to do the Milford sound coach and cruise and we had the most spectacular time! Our coach driver, Roland, was a great character. He was very informative and was easy to interact with, I can see he always checks and double checks that people are in the bus before driving off. We stopped at beautiful areas such as the Eglinton Valley and the Mirror Lakes (My most favourite). We also spotted some playful Keas along the way. The tunnel was very interesting too! The boat cruise views was breathtaking. The variety of food served on the boat was pretty good for the price! Although I hope it could be better seasoned next time. We went so close to the waterfall and it was absolutely gorgeous. We went for my hubby's and mum's birthday, and mum and dad's anniversary so it made our experience all the more special. Partway through the day someone from the head office called me to inform me I left my wallet in their office! They very kindly held on to it until I came back the next day. Thank you to the team who made it all possible :)

Beautiful and Relaxing Experience Wairakei Terraces - Thermal Hot Pools

We have gone to Waiheke Terraces Thermal Hot Pools multiple times, and we enjoy it each and every time. Whenever we have a visitor, this is one of the perfect places to go to in the winter time as it is not too far from Auckland. I always think the way the pools are set up is beautiful. The staff are very accommodating and friendly, and at one point they did ask the patrons about the pool temperature (it was a particularly cold day). When they were informed that the pool was a bit too cold, then adjusted it by adding more hot water which created a lot of fun steam but also made for a perfect water temperature. You can rent towels and robes here too just in case you have forgotten to bring some with you. Will definitely come back. Thank you team!

Up Close and Personal with Farm Animals! Glenorchy Animal Experience - Farm Entry Incl. Animal food

This is definitely a must try when you drive to Glenorchy! It was about 45 minutes to 1 hour drive from Queenstown CBD. The experience is very unique as you get to interact very closely with different farm animals such as pigs, Llamas, Sheep, Deer, Goats, and many more! The payment for entry came with a bag of treats, and the staff at the front give you very clear instructions on how to feed the animals. There were 4 of us so we were handed 2 bags of treats. There is also an option to purchase covers for your shoes in case the day is a bit wet (This was the case for when we went). It was definitely an unforgettable experience and we were so glad to be able to do this when we visited. Thank you!
