Fodor's Review:
You can plunge into New Zealand's rich seafaring history in this marina complex on Auckland Harbour. Experience what it was like to travel steerage class in the 1800s in a simulated rocking cabin, or check out a reproduction of a shipping office from the turn of the last century. There are detailed exhibits on early whaling and a collection of yachts, ship models, and Polynesian outriggers -- not to mention KZ1, the 133-foot racing sloop built for the America's Cup challenge in 1988. A scow conducts short harbor trips twice a day on Tuesday, Thursday, and weekends.
- Cost: $12, harbor trip $15 extra
- Open: Oct.-Easter, daily 9-6; Easter-Sept., daily 9-5
