Housed in a historic icon, the 1892 Bond Store, this museum presents the history of the area in six galleries with audiovisual displays, cinema screens, and traditional exhibitions of memorabilia and photographs. Make sure you see Wahine Gallery, which is a memorial to the 1968 marine tragedy in Cook Strait; and A Millennium Ago, where Maori legends are combined with special effects. If you want an intense glimpse into Wellington's past, this is the place to get it. Holograms and interactive displays are great for kids. The museum also runs themed birthday parties for kids and there are free kids' activities every day.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
