9 Best Trips for Unforgettable Wildlife Encounters Around the World, According to Travel Experts

"New Zealand is filled with unique creatures, like the prehistoric tuatara, an animal that looks like a lizard and is the closest relative to the dinosaur. Another rare species found here is the kea, the world's only alpine parrot. While the kea is easily seen in alpine areas — and the cheeky bird isn't afraid to say hello — the tuatara is trickier to spot. I suggest going to Southland Museum, where you can meet Henry, a tuatara who is over 110 years old, or spotting them in the wild on Tiritiri Matangi Island." - Travel + Leisure Editors

Ws visited today (Sunday) and found out that they are closed on Sundays until Level 1 or I'm assuming Green Traffic Light level from the sign on the wall. You can still seen from the outside through the glass. It would have been cool to see from the inside and see the engines close up

My brother wanted to come, so we popped in. We got a guided tour explaining some of the historical pieces. My brother got to sit in a handful of the engines. Big smile on his face for each one of them.

Very interesting fire brigade memorabilia, as we were only visitors was given a personal tour. Be aware entry is $5 adult & no EFT option

Came across the Southland Fire Museum while visiting a friend and had an excellent tour with Les. Some great stories to share with his 40+ years as a firefighter. I highly recommend visiting, especially if you are a Firey or ex-Firey.

Well worth visit. Free entry. We were lucky enough to have a personal tour with one of the volunteers (ex-fire officer) explaining everything in much detail. Donation box available.
