★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 183 reviews · from $16Our pick

Skip the line at Auckland War Memorial Museum. Explore three floors of Māori treasures and Pacific heritage in 3 to 4 hours.

“The museum was amazing however we had problem with ticketing. We had to wait for a long time to get our tickets - I would not describe this as 'skip the line'. When we finally made it to the counter, they couldn't find our booking/tickets and we had to wait for a long time again. At the end, the museum staff just gave up and let us in.”

4.Skip the Line: Shantytown Heritage Park Experience Ticket

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 59 reviews

Pre-book Shantytown Heritage Park tickets in Greymouth for flexible entry, a steam train ride through native rainforest, and fun gold rush activities.

“I am sorry to have to write such a negative review but unfortunately this experience was not worthwhile. The videos of the place featured an active vibrant place. The staff did their best and were very engaged but the whole experience was very disappointing. It was very lifeless despite lots of featured stories of dead ones along the walks.”
