"We just don't know"

Take your time to walk through the "Valley of the shadow of death..." What a heart felt journey of terror amongst the fear of man

Memorable

What a difference 30min make for a memorable experience. Love the option for an early bird entry as it allowed us to fully appreciate and immerse ourselves in the exhibit without the crowds. Definitely recommend it!

Should have read it properly

We didn’t realize that it’s actually free to get into the Gallipoli exhibition, and that these tickets are to get into the exhibition earlier than the usual opening time. So we wasted $57 as we were never going to get there early as we were coming from the Wairarapa. I guess it’s important to research things properly. If you want to go at 9.30 then it’s probably worthwhile getting the tickets….
