We were able to spend hours just walking through looking in every display area. Enjoyed being able to sit on the pennyfarthing Also enjoyed the Antarctic Display Found the Earthquake Display very inflormative More

Always worth a visit as so many different displays. But the Earthquake exhibition is a must. Really brought home those immediate post-quake days and what's now being done to recover More

Thought we would take just a quick look and spent 3 hours and didn't see everything. Very interesting displays on earthquake, history, native history, dress, animals, etc. If you enjoy museums at all you will definately enjoy this one. The gift shop is very nice as well. More

Educational and fun place to be for youngs and adults. More

Visitors to Christchurch must make a couple of hours available to wander through the city museum. Get lost going back through time. Fantastic momentos of time gone by. More
