Located in Orakei, the aquarium and exhibition centre boasts a replica of Scott's 1911 Antarctic Hut.

If you'd rather take off on an adventure of your own, visit Bethells Beach on the west coast, which offers favourable surfing conditions or discover the lush green countryside of west Auckland on a wine tour.

For an out of this world experience, pay a visit to Sky Tower in the city centre, which is reputed to be the tallest structure in the southern hemisphere, complete with a super-fast elevator which reaches the 328m high observation deck in just 40 seconds.

Typical local crafted souvenirs such as sheepskin, Polynesian handcrafts and leather goods are to be found throughout the city centre.
