Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- Phil W61 contributionsI’m not a museum person but was very impressed by this place. So much to see through many eras of history, and it’s free. Standard gift shop and a very nice cafe as well.Written 6 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

It was a real shame that none of these photos were available to buy copies as prints. The highlight of our visit was the planetarium which was brilliant.Written 7 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jeffry bEssendon, Australia13,601 contributionsDunedin Railway Station is a result of one of the richest mining industries in New Zealand. Dunedin is a prosperous city in the south of New Zealand's South Island, it's worth a visit to look around the city's railway highlights. These days, there's a beautiful restaurant that occupies part of the former railway station. Dunedin is an historic city, it's well worth a sight-seeing tour.Written 3 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Michael CDerby, UK1,981 contributionsWe were able to see inside this cathedral which, because it is only late 19c, does not have the historic feel of the medieval cathedrals in the UK. However, we found that it was still an interesting building to visit.Written 11 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- DoraTheExplorerChristchurch, New Zealand26 contributionsYou must visit the discover world butterfly room.

- John MGeelong, Australia1,180 contributionsThe only reason this attraction has been marked "very good" instead of "excellent" is because of the renovations taking place that are temporarily hampering activity and display within. Still well worth a visit as these "Happy Hens" go all around the world.Written 23 April 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
