    Lovely location. Off street parking, really nice cafe & interesting visual displays plus movies. Well worth 2 hours plus
    Second visit this trip, so much to read & love the various movies that roll over on the rear wall. The shell memory map to navigate from is intriguing & can easily be overlooked. Great blown up photos & information. There is a souvenir shop & great cafe, with good food selection & really nice coffee. More an adult & teenager museum than for young kids, as not hands on.

    Historically and Culturally Fascinating Museum
    On our list for a rainy overcast day, we visited Te Ara-Cook Islands Museum of Cultural Enterprise. Entry was $15pp. It was a fascinating lesson in the history and culture of the Cook Islands. The display is so professionally and artistically displayed, it's a pleasure to experience. Take your time in this lovely cool space to read and absorb all the information on offer before exiting through the gift shop and cafe for a great coffee.

    A walk through history—entertaining and informative!
    We throughly enjoyed this informative museum. It’s full of historical information presented in very interesting/engaging way. Take some time to look at the artifacts and listen to diverse voices in the short film clips. This is one of the best “museums” I have ever been too and a highlight of our trip (when not in the lagoon)! We sampled the food: veggie quiche, butter chicken pie, fresh lemonade and fruit smoothie. All were excellent and priced reasonably. Ari, was especially kind and informative. We highly recommend this for anyone wanting a little history of the Cook Islands.

    An important stop!
    Every visitor to Raro needs to visit this museum. I learned so much about the Cook Islands and I'm so pleased I took the time to stop by. It's not very big but it's very insightful. A nice place to get out of the sun. Great iced coffees at the on-site Cafe too.

    Best coffee on the Island
    It wasnt until we were a day away from leaving this tropical paradise that we had the good luck to ‘find’ coffee was available on a public holiday! (Constitution Day). Oh wow .. the best coffee we found .. along with the warmth and charm of the barista and his team!! If youre a ‘coffee snob’ like we are … you wont be disappointed with both the coffee and the ‘treats’ on offer’ ..

    Very informative museum with local hand made items for sale and a well stocked cafe
    Really interesting museum showing the history of the Cook Islands. Gift shop has lots of local made high quality items. The cafe has a great selection of food and drinks, but I would highly recommend the homemade lemonade
