The museum is absolutely super duper diddly doo! Honestly,rainy day its perfect.Your parents can colour in loads of pictures of NZ,not to mention scaring them with a real feel earthquake to experience,and there's loads of great places to be incontinent in.
Sport!! Rugby,cricket,rugby etc,and what about the worlds richest beggar-the one with no top and an ipod?? Anyone seen him? Dead funny. Don't get to close though,laugh then run.

Also, take a train ride through the Hutt etc, and get on and off through the day.
Kapiti island needs a permit from Wellington (but you may know that).

Karori Wildlife Centre or, if you're going through the Wairarapa, Mt Bruce Wildlife Conservation Centre - feeding time with the Kakas is great!
Museum of City & Sea - used to be called The Maritime Museum but was completely overhauled and has some good multi-media exhibitions - there's a poignant tribute to the Wahine disaster in the 70's - the interisland ferry that foundered in Wellington Heads, with the loss of dozens of lives in the harbour.
Early settler museum on Petone Foreshore - the original city was called Britannia on the banks of the Hutt River - they gave up on the site after several years of being flooded by the river and relocated the city to Thorndon.
Efil Doog - in the Akatarawa Valley/Upper Hutt - rhododendron/azalea gardens with stone and metal sculptures - the owners have put their collection of early NZ water colours on show - they also have an amazing bonsai collection.
