Auckland Things to Do Tips by Kiwigirlie

I love this museum. It's got a fantastic view from the front steps. The exhibits are brilliant and on a hot day it's a nice place to pinic.

I lived here for about three years and loved it. It's a lovely little village surrounded by extinct volcanoes. In fact, there are something like 47 extinct volcanoes in the Auckland region.
Devonport is on a little penninsular that overlooks the city and the Hauraki Gulf. You can get there by ferry from downtown Auckland or by car - crossing over the harbour bridge.
It's a great place to go and have a picnic on a hot day and enjoy views and explore the remains of a WWII bunker tunnels and gunnery.

I would only go on this to see the views but if you are keen on gambling then it's the place to go!
It's an amazing building and not for the faint hearted. From the top you have a unprecedented 360 degree view of Auckland. Watch out for the glass floors!!!
