Museum far too expensive for what it is. Shop sells mementos of one's visit to Mount Cook, most of which appears to be made in China! Full review by martincS2512NK

Hi, I'm planning to visit New Zealand for the first time and I think I will be on South Island between Earth Day and Astronomy Day (22 to 29 April 2017).
