best place to experience the art scene & wildlife

[JohanDirrell]

My eldest daughter, my husband and I are all wanting to go to Wellington this year...what's the best place in New Zealand to experience the art scene as well as wildlife?

I think Wellington is the best place to experience both the art scene and wildlife. The city has lots of art galleries, museums and theaters such as the reknowned Te Papa National Museum of New Zealand where you can learn the rich and colorful history of New Zealand.

There are also lots of cafes, bars and restaurants and pedestrian areas like the waterfront, Cuba Street and Courteney Place where you will find many hotels and shops.

Regarding wildlife, the Wellington Zoo and the Karori Wildlife Sanctuary are great places where you can see indigenous animals such as tuatara, weta, kiwi birds, and other indigenous flora and fauna.
