What things cost in Wellington
Prices in Wellington spread far wider than any single "from" figure suggests, and 96% of the catalogue can be cancelled free of charge. So the useful question is not what the cheapest ticket costs, but which band buys which kind of day.
That median sits 31% below New Zealand's, so Wellington is one of the cheaper places in the country to actually do things.

How far ahead should I book in Wellington?
For the highest-review sights, book before you travel: they run on timed entry and the good slots go first. For everything else, 96% of the catalogue allows free cancellation, so booking early carries no real penalty.
