Way better than expected. A lot of variety, great work put on to describe Christchurch, the region and geological areas of Canterbury. And it's free. A must in the city.

First of all, it’s free! Good mix of exhibitions, great way to spend a few hours after walking round the Botanical Gardens. Eye opening exhibit on male sexual abuse, great to see this talked about.

$2 for discovery makes a cheap day's entertainment for kids but they need a small cafe for parents in there
