Space Place
About
The local business Space Place in North Island is a museum at 40 Salamanca Road, Kelburn, Wellington 6012, Nueva Zelanda. It sits in the Kelburn area of Wellington, one of the island's main urban centres.
Families, couples and solo visitors will all find Space Place worth a look, with its museum displays drawing a wide range of ages. First-time visitors can expect a focused museum visit rather than a sprawling complex, and with 1710 reviews averaging 4.6 out of 5, it clearly resonates with those who come through its doors. The venue also runs events, adding another reason to plan a stop.
Opening hours run from 17:00 to 22:30 on two weekdays, 10:00 to 22:30 on another, 10:00 to 23:00 on two more, and 10:00 to 17:00 on the remaining day. The museum's website is http://www.museumswellington.org.nz/space-place/, and four photos are available for a preview.
Wellington is well placed for visitors moving around North Island, with domestic flights and ferries linking the islands. Summer, from December to February, draws the most visitors, while winter remains mild at low altitudes. Local food leans on fresh seafood, lamb, dairy and wines, and English and Māori are the main languages spoken. Auckland is another nearby place worth noting for those planning a wider trip.
