Sky Tower
8.4
4.6/5903 Reviews
Night view
Opening hours: 09:30-20:00 (admission ends at 19:15)
XUANNER:“As a famous scenic spot, the Sky Tower is basically a must visit place! The restaurant is also worth a try, as there are different packages available at different times. It is more convenient to book in advance on the website”
SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton's Aquarium
7.6
4.4/5237 Reviews
Opening hours: 09:30-17:00 (admission ends at 16:00)
Rola E.:“It's a great place to visit, especially with kids. I love seeing all the animals. It's my first time seeing penguins, stingray, and sharks in person. It's super cool!”
Auckland War Memorial Museum
7.4
4.5/5303 Reviews
Museums
Opening hours: 10:00-20:30
Anonymous user:“The whole experience was great, and it's a great place to learn about New Zealand's history and culture. The museum is quite large and worth a good half-day visit. There are many interactive exhibits, especially suitable for taking children out. There are also Chinese services, which is recommended.”
Auckland Whale & Dolphin Tour
7.3
3.3/528 Reviews
Boat tour
Opening hours: 10:30-15:00
linmingxin:“We arrived at the meeting point at 7:30 and set off on time at 8:00. The boat can carry 100 people at full capacity, and there were more than 70 of us. After a 1-hour sail, we found dolphins and various seabirds, and then sailed into deeper waters to find Bryde's whales. On the way back, we also saw a little seal taking a nap. The whole experience was great, but it really depends on luck. Not every time you go out to sea, you can see whales. We returned to the dock at 1:30 pm and didn't feel seasick. The overall experience was great!”
Mount Eden
7.1
4.6/5511 Reviews
Mountain climbingNight view
Opening hours: Summer 07:00-20:30, Winter 07:00-19:00
iQOO🐮:“Although Mount Eden is not high, you can overlook the whole of Auckland from the top of the mountain, and the view is particularly wide. The remains of the crater are clearly visible, covered with green grass, a peaceful green. It is not difficult to walk all the way up. You can also see sheep grazing on the hillside. Their leisurely appearance makes people can't help but take a few more photos. The wind on the top of the mountain is very strong, but it is also very fresh, which makes people feel particularly bright. It is a good place that does not require tickets or planning, but can leave very deep memories.”
Auckland Domain
7.0
4.5/5209 Reviews
Open year round, 24/7
iQOO🐮:“Auckland Central Park is not like the common landscape parks in the city. It is more like a natural forest. The winding tree-lined paths and the tall trees on both sides make you feel like you are walking into the original green field, with thick fallen leaves and soft soil under your feet. The air is filled with the fragrance of plants, which is very suitable for jogging, walking the dog or just taking a quiet walk. There are also several sculptures and small bridges hidden along the way, which adds a little fun. Although it is not far from the city, you can completely escape the rhythm of the city once you enter the park.”
Auckland Zoo
6.9
4.5/5154 Reviews
Opening hours: 09:30-16:30 (admission ends at 15:30)
cherry131:“It's worth playing, suitable for young children. There are many animals to see, mainly to see kiwi birds, which are very cute and nocturnal animals. There are many fast foods to eat. In general, it's worth checking in once”
Queen Street
6.5
4.5/5266 Reviews
Open year round, 24/7
江苏无锡JC:“It's not as big as I imagined. It's just a pedestrian street, about ten meters wide. There aren't many people. Maybe it's because it's Easter, so many shops are closed. But there are many luxury brands, and the prices are reasonable. There is also Gucci, which is known as the cheapest in the world.”

Frasers
4.5/517 Reviews
Open 7:00-22:00
没有蜡olling:“Dessert time! 🍮 Frasers has been open in the Mount Eden neighborhood for nearly 20 years. After renovation, it serves delicious food all day long and has a constant flow of customers from morning to night. The Victorian bricks and tiles have been preserved and incorporated into the Nordic home concept. The colors of the coffee cups, dining chairs and walls all have a bit of Danish style. like.
Fortunately, the classic cake dessert remains. The most iconic one is Banoffee, which is the fusion of banana and toffee. Fraser has improved its own version. Fresh cream mousse + banana + toffee caramel + caramel popcorn, eat it layer by layer, with different flavors passing through your mouth. Crisp and sweet, rich, soft and sweet, these are what it means.
The classic New York cheesecake, passion fruit mousse, and chocolate cake are all good. Paired with a cup of Allpress white coffee or a cup of ginger-flavored Chai latte, you will be completely satisfied during afternoon tea time.”
Mamak Malaysian Restaurant
4.0/514 Reviews
Open 11:30-15:00
Boye1:“They make Malaysian snacks. The laksa tastes very good, and the meat wrapped in rice dumplings is also delicious. The laksa is a little spicy, and the fish cakes taste very good. The fried squid is a little expensive.”
Federal Delicatessen
4.4/523 Reviews
Brunch
Avg. £11/person
Open 8:00-15:00
没有蜡olling:“At noon, I had a small gathering with my friends and went to FEDERAL DELICATESSEN in Oakland. It looks like a small shop from the outside, but it has the feeling of an American country club. The French fries are not fried well, but the American cheesecake at the end is definitely the highlight, sweet but not greasy, melts in the mouth, and has a rich milky flavor [good]”
Paradise Indian Food
4.0/531 Reviews
Open 11:00-22:15
Boye1:“The Indian food here is definitely suitable for Chinese tastes. The vanilla lamb chops are delicious, and the chicken wings are also very authentic, a little sweet and spicy, similar to the taste of honey chicken wings, and the Indian bread is not too burnt.”
Tony's Steakhouse
5.0/56 Reviews
Time-honored Brand
Avg. £35/person
Open 11:45-14:00
健康美丽的芳芳:“Tony's Steakhouse is a very popular western restaurant in the local area. I personally like it very much. It is also a restaurant with relatively high rankings. I personally like it very much.”

4.6/512 Reviews
View
Avg. £62/person
Open 6:30-21:00

Oyster and Chop
4.5/513 Reviews
Open 11:30-22:00
Boye1:“The main dishes are oysters and steak. The steak is a little bit dry, even though they use New Zealand beef, this method makes the steak a bit tough. The oysters taste pretty good and very fresh.”

Avg. £54/person
Open at 17:00 today
没有蜡olling:“From afternoon tea to dinner

DEPOT EATERY
4.5/590 Reviews
Currently closed
江苏无锡JC:“The oysters were very delicious. They were small but delicious. It was the first time I ate such delicious oysters. The oysters were 7 New Zealand dollars each. The cod burger was nothing special. I ate too much in the afternoon, so I ordered some for a midnight snack.”
