NileGuide Expert tip:
This is a must do .. our family alway choose one section to explore well each time we visit. they have a very good childrens area ... that we adults always learn from too!
Description:
Perfectly placed on the edge of the Botanic Gardens within a stone's throw of the Arts Centre, the Canterbury Museum is a must. Check out the excellent Antarctic display, a must-see before going out to the International Antarctic Centre. Also look for the superb Natural History Discovery Centre, where you can happily pull open drawers and inspect the contents of jars and cases. The quaint Victorian Canterbury street is interesting, and there's an excellent Maori section. Allow 2 hours.
