Located next to the viaduct basin this place became free to Aucklanders (or those who can pass themselves off as such) in 2010 and is definitely worth a visit at that price. It is a monument to the regions important ties to the maritime world and while I haven't been there for some years now (due to the over-priced entrance fee in the past) I remember it very fondly from earlier days. There are paintings, exhibits, interactive displays and lots of boast showcasing both indigenous and European maritime history in the region. If you have any kind of interest in boats or the sea you will enjoy yourself.
