Reviews of Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park Visitor Centre

R. M.

This is a favourite place of mine worth the trip in museum is amazing🌻staff friendly n helpful

J. B.

Favourite visitor's centre in the country and that's saying something. Recently renovated and includes two stories taking you through the history of mountaineering. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.

A good information Centre showing some natural and historical connections to Mt Cook. Nice wee gift shop and staff were very informative to things to see for the average visitor.

J. W.

Fascinating and informative stop after a stay at White Horse DOC camp. So much for adults and kids alike to learn about. Incredible photos, and beautifully laid out. So glad we stopped by!

a. k. s.

One of the oldest cafe of Mount cook. They have a limited number of items in the menu like burgers, pizzas, fries. But they are the only ones which opens by 10 am early. And closes by 7 pm. They have great burgers. They will provide The dine-in and outside the cafe (benches behind the cafe) with some awesome mountain views.

K. T.

Lot's of educational information, very good to visit before/after your trip to the village. There's a cute gift shop that has a bunch of nice momentos.

F. O.

Love this visitor centre, lots to see and read and heaps of information about Aoraki national park, I had enjoyed my time.. Would definitely come back!

G. D. A. U. L.

An old favorite of mine, a visit here never gets old. I always manage to learn something new in this great exhibition and testament to this wonderful place.

Loved our stay in Mt Cook.We done the Tasman Lake trip on the speed boats.Was wonderful to see and Staff were excellent.Cheers to all involved.

You'll find the Mount Cook National Park Visitor Centre in the middle of the Village snuggled up next to the iconic Hermitage Hotel. This is one of the better Visitor Centres we have visited on South Island. Opening hours are 8.30-4.30pm daily. In short, this is an essential stop to make before attempting longer and overnight hikes within the National Park. It is important to find out latest information on trail and weather conditions and this is the place you do that. This is also where you register for overnight hut use and pick up general trail information and maps. You'll also find and expected range of souvenir and gift shop items here. The Visitor Centre also serves as something of a museum on the history of local mountaineering and other facets of early life, local weather patterns, fauna and flora around Mount Cook. This makes for a good way to spend 30-45 minutes of your time if weather conditions are poor and preventing you from doing hikes you may want. Displays are spaced out over two floors. In the end, this is a very good DOC Visitor Centre, a first stop for anyone planning on hiking in the Mount Cook National Park.

P. B.

This is a must do place to go with an amazing and informative center and a great range of amazing walks so very close by

R. K.

Bigger than expected! A very extensive range of artefacts and information about the mountain and region, you could easily spend an hour here although smaller kids might get bored... there is a very good information desk with everything you need to know before taking off on a longer hiking adventure including detailed weather projections

H. S.

This world-class visitor centre is a 'must-do' activity during your visit to Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park. Entry is free. The visitor centre building is an attraction in itself, featuring a large picture window looking out to the mountain Aoraki. You can easily spend half a day exploring the artwork collection, interpretation exhibits and watching DVDs about the area. Getting there Drive into Mount Cook village on SH80 then turn right at the T intersection. The visitor centre is located in the heart of the village and is well signposted Visitor centres are staffed by DOC rangers who have firsthand, in-depth local knowledge about: •Walks and hiking - short walks, multi-day hikes, Great Walks •Track conditions, weather, and safety •Hut and Campsite bookings •Heritage sites •Cycleways •Maps •Marine reserves •Conservation projects •Local stories, legends and history - our nature, our people •Gateway to Aoraki / Mt Cook National Park Whether you are looking for a relaxing walk in native forest, a more demanding hike or trek into alpine wilderness, or a quiet place to sit and enjoy the view, the Mackenzie Region has it all. Naturalists the world over come to view the wondrous variety of flowering native plants ad the unique insect and bird life in the Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park. Glorious mountain walks to suit every degree of fitness show off the national park’s rich flora, including the Mount Cook lily, the largest buttercup in the world

r. c.

Nice muesuem, interesting info and downstairs area has a good hands on kids area with puzzles and books, view are awesome.

R. A.

This is a very unique visitor center as compared to others in the country. The words - somewhere in the middle of nowhere, literally describe this place. The entrance seems quaint, but once we step inside, the Mt Cook peak seen in the far distance from a well curated widow greets us and steals the show. There is a lot of information and artifacts displayed in the center which showcase the local area and history. Souvenirs are available to be bought as well. The staff are nice and helpful. Ample car parking spaces are available and location is easily accessible by road. This is a real hidden gem which usually can get overlooked by the tourists. Very highly recommended.

H. V.

They have a nice little museum there, it’s a nice place to visit on a rainy day 😊

S. F.

Popped in to get a few maps and ask for some recommendations which was really appreciated but also enjoyed wandering through the historical and ecological displays. A great way to spend a rainy afternoon. Good gift shop attached.

D. M.

I've been to a lot of information centres but this one at Aoraki - Mt Cook is something else again. Really amazing as is Aoraki the mountain itself. I spent a very informative hour there recently and learned heaps! There is so much to see, learn and experience here. Couldn't recommend more highly. Ka Rawe - Awesome. The staff I interacted with were equally excellent with a clear love and high knowledge base of this incredible area of Te Waiponamu - South Island of Aotearoa - New Zealand. If you are fortunate to visit this area, make sure you make some time to visit this centre.

B. G.

Wonderful exhibition space and lots of useful resources. All it needs is some sort of cafe facility, even a simple coffee machine, as there's too much to see and do without taking a break

The reviews were right! This is a pretty impressive visitors centre with a cool view. Loads of museum exhibits that show the history of the area and the animals etc. well worth visiting

A good place to rest and get information！

V. N.

Full of information about the past and present. From equipment and old photos to interactive maps. Free and well worth spending some time at. The staff are very helpful and love sharing their knowledge.

S. S.

Wonderful place. Amazing trekking and lovely view. Is fantastic 😍

W. C.

Never expect it to be such a great spot for photo. Staffs are helpful and always ready to help. You will see The diamond shaped glass mirror just when you get in from the main entrance, which brings in plenty of sunlight and unique shadows. It's also like museum where you can find a lot of info, stories, images, documentaries, ranging from the geography, wildlife to mountaineering. a great spot to take a break and immerse in some history of Aoraki.

A. T.

Probably the best place to visit after the Valley Track and the Nelson Lake viewpoint.

F. J.

The staff here was very knowledgeable and the place was stunning

D. R.

Beautiful place to go. A must do! If you go a little beyond the standard routes, you'll find some more quiet places to enjoy the beauty of mother nature.

Very comprehensive history of the area. Nicely presented. Take your time.

I. S.

Wonderful interior design, views and exhibits. Together with the Sir Edmund Hillary Alpine Centre there is a terrific wealth of history.

A. J.

Check out what’s behind you on your way to Aoraki.. Make sure you have enough time to stop by at such lovely eye catching locations. This land is heaven, pleasing and mysterious.

The best info centre in NZ I visited already.. a lot to see, learn and really nice and helpful staff

M. A.

Jaw dropping beautiful. Photos don't do it justice. With scenery like this I forgot to look at the centre itself. 😎

An amazing view on a crystal clear day of Mount Cook. Very informative information, artifacts and photos.

t. s.

A great place to stay, has a large kitchen, very clean toilets, rangers are very friendly, close to the mountains and walking tracks.

B. d. B.

Don't forget to spend assume time here, very informative displays about the natural surroundings. Beautiful architectural building.

An excellent example of a quality visitor centre. Lots of displays and information.

M. L.

Museum is great, café sign posting and help at desk was disappointing. Rather average, but stunning views.

N. P.

Loved our visit here, the location is amazing the drive there was absolutely stunning and all the information, the galleries, the history, the cultural aspect and free entry is so awesome. Our family loved our time here on the two levels and outside areas, taking in the warm sun and cool air

L. R.

Such a great place to visit, lots to look at and read. Before you go for your walks has plenty of up to date info on track conditions.

S. R.

Exceptional facilities, informative displays and helpful staff. Stunning views set in a creative venue. Awestruck with the mountains despite the cloud. Easy road access and adequate parking. Highly recommend the well serviced Cafe at Heritage

S. F.

One of my favourite days in NZ. So worthy the tracking and the view. Make sure you have water with you.

S. N.

Very informative visitor centre, with history, facts and tons of displays and information. Staff were very helpful and informative. We asked about a hike and they showed us pictures and were very descriptive. On a clear days great views of Mt Cook and surrounding ranges!

U. A. F.

It was incredible, everyday I get sad because I miss this place so much!

Stopped here after doing the Hooker Valley Trail. Lots of information and a lovely design. Plenty of space to relax. Good views of Mount Cook.

Warm autumn day hardly anyone there information centre is credit to Dept conservation staff

p. “. k.

Lots of information to read, Windows to look out and staff to ask questions of. Represents the area well.

Definitely one the best I-Sites on NZ ....so many interesting facts

Great information centre with some very interesting and informative displays. Lovely staff too!

C. J.

Had an awesome time walking this well kept track up to Mt Cook. Spectacular views.

K. H.

Great place to learn about the history of nz exploration.

G. F.

Excellent place to visit when in the area. Great history and explanation of the region and how it developed

Y. Z.

Good views! I got a lot travel guides booklets.

J. C. A.

Very nice design and architecture, as well as informative displays.

R. E.

Great visitor centre with really friendly and informative staff who gave us some great recommendations of trails to do with our young children

S. D.

A very informative information centre complete with mountaineering paraphernalia, relics, films and models of wild life, original huts and equipment. Well maintained, well presented and staff were very helpful. Toilets on premises...

T. N.

Gorgeous Mt Cook and glacier. Also backpacked mueller hut. Fantastic!

A. C. o.

Nice place and beautiful instalations in the middle of Mt cook

R. J.

One of the nicest visitor centers I've been in. The entrance is spectacular (see photo). The range of exhibits and the care put into them is amazing. There's information ranging from geology to environmental to social. There are some great videos available that are well worth sitting down and watching (and I don't normally have the patience for that). The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. The gift shop isn't overdone but instead has some nice things in it. I would have liked more in the way of detailed maps of the area but that's my only complaint.

N. H.

This is seriously one place you must visit when here. Has an excellent overview of the history of the area as well as all the latest info for the walks/hikes in the area. The staff are super friendly and gave us lots of extra info (eg history of Governors bush walk). Also got a great selection of supplies at reasonable prices

Great spot, great service, very nice and helpful personnel. If you have any question or not sure where to go this is the place to go.

J. C.

Great place with lots of knowledge and things to see. Staff are very helpful and friendly and offer you great advice.

Beautiful scenery, Mt Cook just over looking to the restaurant where we were.

R. (.

Great information here almost like a small museum and definitely the best isite we've seen in NZ. Pretty good store inside too if you're missing anything or looking for souvenirs.

R. B.

Very interesting and food at Cafe was great!

Got a really good display about history and biology of Mount Cook.

J. W.

Wonderful facility. Lots of clothes, maps, souvenirs and great views.

D. G.

Wonderful memory of the past combined with up to date information

J. C.

The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. They have the best available information on the activities around the National Park. It is also the best source for weather forecast and avalanche advise. The museum is worthwhile to visit and the shop is reasonably priced.

Good wee museum with heaps of information about the history of Aoraki Mt. Cook. Definitely worth a visit. Free entry!

One if the best National park visitor centers I have ever been to.

P. M.

BEST in NZ. Awesome experience & warm hospitable staff. Watch out: NEVER STAY in Aoraki Court bcos the owner & staff are BLATANTLY RUDE RACISTS toward non-White tourists & foreigners.

My only wish is that the weather played ball to show off more of the views

J. B.

Great information about the tracks, climbing and the National park in general. Plus a lovely display of the history of the area and climbing in the region. Well worth checking out.

A. A.

Must thing to do. Not a good place to stay overnight if you're looking for free parking. Nice little Cafe and information center.

E. K.

Free to entrance. Great place to get useful information about Aoraki.

Magical time at Aoraki mt cook. Hermitage just excellent.The trip on tasman glacier lake was magical made more enjoyable by guide Kim whose knowledge and professionalism made the trip so special thank you.

Loved the museum here very informative

Beautiful setting and very informative centre

J. R.

Best information centre in the country! More like a museum and with great views. Really helpful staff too, who can give you all the information you need about the surrounding area and walks.

G. N.

Great place, with lots of information. The staff is friendly, but was not very helpful last time. You can fill up your bottles at the drinking water fountain in front of the visitor center.

P. N.

Aesthetics of the building is excellent.. A must go information centre

Very interesting. No wheelchair access to lower level.

J. C.

Fabulous visitor centre. Much extended since my last visit 8 years ago. This time it was good weather , so spectacular views of Mt Cook. Liked the Hillary statue. Ate in the restaurant for lunch .....pricey for us !!

M. B. M.

Beautiful and super interesting expositions about climbing and discovering area. You can get 30 minutes free wifi there.

Likely the best visitor center I’ve ever been too. Informative exhibits and helpful staff. Used recommendation for camping at a hut. A must-do before hiking in the park for the first time.

M. B.

Really friendly staff in a great place of New Zealand. Always be sure to go before heading out to check on the weather and let them know your intentions. They're really knowledgeable about what to do in the area and share ideas depending on your skill level and interests. The center has a great section on the history of hiking in New Zealand and the summiting of Mt Cook. Well worth the look

B. L.

Great display of park native animals, introduced pests, birds and historical photos. Lovely displays of the mountain topography.

B. R.

Enjoyed very much, my only concern is the available parking in the village particularly around the Information centre. Relocating the information centre in the long term to down on the flat terarain where there could be ample parking would be a plus.

Cool building interesting history and not as anti white as most nz state museum's

M. C.

Probably the nicest DOC visitor center I've been to, which makes sense given how touristy Mt Cook is. Drinking water out front, toilets on the lower floor, free WiFi, and you can pay for your campsite with a credit card at the front desk. Extremely limited parking.

Q. D.

My experience here is it's a good place for kids. There's activity area under mezzanine and a small theatre for video show. Exhibits were really well presented. My kids just love the animals.

K. B.

The visitor centres entrance is stunning. History amazing and staff are passion personified

Must do hike over seeing bridges through hidden valley

B. H.

Good tourist info and history of area. Staff where very helpfull. But really why isnt this area promoted better ??? There is 3 compelling reasons to visit - scenery, Hillary & LoR. A majestic part of the world we rarely hear of. (Or maybe NZ'ers keep it to themselves 😉)

A must visit to the centre when in Aoraki/Mt Cook

N. J.

Go here to check you have all the necessary gear, clothing and information for your hikes. Also a great selection on New Zealand souvenirs.

Great design with very interesting stories. It's worth spending a few minutes to learn a bit about your surrounding. Our deserve more credits than what it gets

M. D.

Excellent service when I needed a refund for a nights camping. We didn't stay but they also had a museum section that looked very well set up and worth taking a look around if you had time.

An excellent presentation from experienced professionals.

D. N.

Best DOC visitor centre in NZ. Doc officers are very helpful and instead of trying to scary you saying that everything is dangerous like most of other DOC would do, they give you useful info about all types of tracks, tell you what you need to do and it's up to you to make your decision. We got some great info about Ball Pass route and wild camping options, as well as other unmarked tracks. Also it's almost a museum/gallery with lots of info and pictures about New Zealand Mountaineering/alpine/nature. You can even see the Ice Axe used in the first ascent of Mt Cook.

Excellent advice on what to do in the time we had available. Awesome walk to Tasman River. Thanks so much for the tip!

This is one of the best visitor centers I've ever seen. There is so much information packed into a beautiful building—it is a must-see in this national park, do not pass it by!!

This is a magic place to visit. Pick your weather as it can turn wild and windy very fast

Had quite a bit more there than I thought. Lots to look at and read about / experience. Worth a look.

A very thought invoking experience looking through so much history. Well laid out in comfortable and user friendly areas.

J. T.

One of the best visitor information centres I've seen around South Island. Grab a map and do the walks. Some of the walks I recommend driving up and not walk from the town centre to save time. They have alot of exhibits explaining the history of Mt Cook, animals and climbing. Made me understand more about South Island. They have puzzles for kids to play with. I recommend buying postcards here, some of the scenary is amazing, some information centres don't have such a extensive range and cost the same.

The DOC woman in charge locked me out the back door (public space) when I was photographing the old trampers hut with no apology or concern. 😤😏🙄

Get there early (or late)! And check the weather forecast... Otherwise you might not get a good view. Really lovely trail. Super easy.

H. p.

Pretty neat place. I would definitely recommend to go if you have the time.

R. C.

Great centre. Lots of information about Aoraki and it's climbing history. Sadly couldn't see Aoraki itself due to rain.

Amazing experience and information ❤

R. C.

Nice and warm place! Gorgeous view!

Great museum telling the geology of the area, history of Mt Cook Village and the mountaineers who made this amazing place famous.

Enjoyed reading the history. Did not know so many people have lost their lives in the area

Great place learn the history all about Mt Cook.

M. D.

Beautiful place toilets super clean. This is how we should experience DOC land. BAN 1080

I. B.

Well worth the visit with such interesting and informative exhibits.

They have good information, good location, free WiFi and use of toilets. There's also fresh drinking water by fountain outside.

S. M.

A quiet day here. The facility is amazing with lots of artifacts relating to the history of Aoraki. Very informative

D. K.

It's so full of gorgeousness around, everything else goes unseen other than nature. Glaciers, snow capped mountains, fresh air, what else can u ask for!

Very informative for hikes (around Mount Cook national park as well as leaflets for around NZ), a small museum, souvenir shop and cafe. Toilets and lots of parking

Awesome place to visit, great views and a good bit of history about the area.

P. C.

Always a beautiful place to visit, but do take care to respect the environment. It is very precious to us all☺

Very helpful employees and a great centre. Free wifi for 30 mins.

J. S.

Good information about Aoraki. Cosy. Helpful staff. Perfect views of the mountains. Can do picnic at the benches outside. Has a good restaurant with good food.

Good place , the person who recommanded dont realy recommanded us just telling the minimum , not even talking of the risk when we wanted to do the muller hut

Cool place. Some historical facts displayed around, very helpful staff, toilets.

L. L.

Great place for souvenirs. realized the pricing of certain items is higher than the hermitage. the $1 charge for tracking map, seems...

Location is totally epic. The view is to die for. The food at the Cafe was great too.

Enjoyed this and great place to sit and watch the world ....stand still in its timeless splendour .check out the reasonable prices for outdoor gear!

Brilliant DOC centre with lots of historical items and information. All very interesting. Staff seem friendly and knowledgeable. Always stop by in here when visiting the area.

Nice, kind staff.

K. R.

Cloudy day. Couldn’t see much with low cloud cover.

Place is nice and the informations were super interesting. Staff was ok, not the best and friendliest ever but ok.

B. T.

Very friendly folks at the desk. Gave us very good beta for our trip. Intentions service was useful and we'll run.

It's a pity DOC staff, be them temporary, don't show the Kiwi hospitality. Being Kiwis we were embarrassed with the front desk staff.

(Translated) The Visitor Center has two floors and exhibits historical artifacts and specimens related to Mount Cook. The visitor center also has a screening room and a playroom, which is more interesting than imagined. However, the most attractive part of the entire visitor center is that you can see the big window of Mount Cook. At this time, it looks like a beautiful landscape painting. Even if you are interested in historical relics, it is not bad to come here to see the scenery. . The Mount Cook Visitor Center also provides Mount Cook mountaineering information, plus free admission. If you have time, come here to rest and stroll. (Original) 遊客中心有兩層，展出同庫克山有關的歷史文物和標本。遊客中心還有放映室和遊戲室，比想像中有趣。不過整個遊客中心最吸引人的部份，就是這面可以望見庫克山的大窗，這時候看起來恍如一幅漂亮的風景畫，就算對歷史文物冇興趣，來這裏看看風景也不錯。庫克山遊客中心還提供庫克山登山資料，加上又是免費入場，如果有時間，不妨來這裏休息和逛逛。
