NZ hasn't much of interest in the engineering/scientific line, the
attractions are more to do with nature - mountains, rivers, lakes,
beaches, trees, birds, fish... There are a couple of exceptions, of
course. If you are in Wellington, it's worth going to the Te Papa Museum
just to see the Britten motorcycle.

Depends perhaps on how high-brow the engineering/science needs to be? I
thought some of the bungee jumping platforms were quite interesting from an
an engineering viewpoint (sic) - eg the Nevis Highwire. I also found that
Zorbing demonstrated beautifully several aspects of the laws of motion. But
then I suspect that, counter-intuitively, my brow lowered as my hair receded
