A must place to visit while in Devonport. Free parking for Museum and Cafe visitors. Entry if Free, but a donation of 5 at the entry is much appreciated. The staff is great and they welcome and guide the visitors well. The Navy Museum gives insight about the history of NZ contribution in the World Wars. The displays are amazing and well preserved. Kids playing area is clean and fun. The café serves fresh food and coffee. Love the atmosphere and the walk to the boat shed.

Excellent Navy museum, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Good food at the cafe. Highly recommend a visit
Didn't know this museum has been here so well presented and people can learn about proud NZ naval history.
Lovely experience enriched with history and information! The best small nation navy indeed, with tales of bravery and honour
For who wants to learn a little bit more of NZ Navy history, this place will give you a lot of information. There's also a free car park, a nice small NZ Navy shop, a lovely coffee shop, a nice sea view and a playground for kids to play. Since everywhere is flat, it's very easy for disable people access.
This might be bias as I have a soft spot for museums. But my kids loved it and there is lots to see about NZ maritime history. A nice walk from the ferry.
This is a fantastic little museum about 5 minutes walk from the ferry terminal, just turn right and follow the path along the beach. Its compact displays hold a treasure trove of Navy memorabilia along with a ton of knowledge about each one. From the early 1800s all the way through to modern times, the displays are set out in a story board fashion. There is a knowledge hunt, along with brass rubbing, for the kids and badge making ( for a super low fee); and a nautical themed play park outside. The staff are very friendly and helpful, and it is has free entrance. This is worth a trip to the north shore for, especially if you are into New Zealand naval history.
Cafe review only: food was excellent, and great view back across the harbour. Some persistent sparrows, but otherwise a really pleasant experience. Really wanted to try the tiramisu cake they had in the cabinet but controlled myself.
