A
Edwin Fox Maritime Museum
The Edwin Fox is purportedly the world’s ninth-oldest wooden ship (who counts these things?). Built of teak in Bengal, the 48m, 750-tonne vessel was launched in 1853. During its chequered career it carried troops to the Crimean War, convicts to Australia and immigrants to NZ. The Edwin Fox Maritime Museum has maritime exhibits including the venerable old dear, preserved under cover.

B
Eco World Aquarium
The Eco World Aquarium has hundreds of fish and a veritable menagerie of native critters, including tuatara, gecko and giant weta. Fish-feeding time (11am and 2pm) is a hit with kids. Just before dusk watch the resident blue penguins returning from their fishing trips. There’s also an art-house cinema here.
