Its a good place to visit but it is primarily a war memorial so its exhibits are pretty small that being said it is a good place to go and reflect.

Have you been through the Waiouru Army Museum at all?

They have some excellent exhibits from the New Zealand wars through to Vietnam, the family has supplied items that are shown in several of the displays (WW1, 2 and Vietnam).
