The car park is full, and there are colossal buses because all the children from different schools come on a school trip to this place.

The artificial lights shine down at the antique sculptures from the past hundred million years.
As you walk through the entrance, there are high selling inside this place.

As the sliding glass doors slowly glide open a lady behind the counter greets you with a warm smile.

Money is exchanged for tickets.

Up the spiral staircase exhibits await  with information to read and pictures to observe.

 BOOM, BANG ! Sounds of a volcanic explosion calls people into a large room containing model volcanoes, diagrams and videos.

 In a neighbouring room, bird noises echo and 3D models of native New Zealand birds can be observed.

Another area is rich with NZ culture.

You can also see a drum set and each drum makes a different sound each time you hit one of the drums.
