Great place for all ages to visit. Lots of interesting facts and things to see about the History of the Settlers. Beautiful and Peaceful. A must see.
We popped into Cobblestones Museum Greytown just a few days ago and had a great time! We met Julie at reception who was extremely friendly and helpful, she gave us a brief, informative overview of the history of Cobblestones Museum, as well as a decent, easy to follow map and sent us on our way. The Museum is very nicely put together, easy to follow and not overwhelming, with some interactive parts too! Heading outside you’re surrounding by beautiful Heritage buildings that you can explore at your own pace. We bumped into Tony and Graeme too whilst wondering around, both of them provided more info, answered any questions and Tony happily gave us a demonstration on the old Print Presses!! It was great!! We’re in our early 30’s and really enjoyed our time. We’d quite happily take our younger nieces and nephews here, as well as our parents. Fun for all ages! Janette has been great over email too! A must do when in Greytown! Open nearly everyday, 10am until 4pm October – May, 10am until 3pm June – September. Thanks team! @saltyskin
Really interesting place to visit when in Greytown! They are always adding new exhibits and great to see how things use to be and learn a bit of history about what life was like when people arrived in the region!
Really enjoyed our visit. Great insights into the lives of early settlers. We spent a couple of hours here. Recommended.
Great labour day weekend event, some cool cars there too. More food facilities would keep people there longer.
We took a group of 17 to Cobblestones this weekend. We were late arriving but Diane stayed open past the usual closing time especially for us and the group enjoyed their visit very much. Fantastic museum and great customer service.
A unique and interesting settler museum with heaps to look at in the replica village. The highlights are the hospital, cottage, and school house set up as they would have been 100 years ago. Would be excellent if you have inquisitive children. It could be improved slightly with some more interactive hands on parts though.
Walked away with 4 very disappointed children.... we still had 25 minutes before the Museum closed but the clock at reception was 10 fast and the lady behind the counter wouldn't let us in... Came all the way from HB and she allowed no wiggle room. Very disappointing considering its school holidays...Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
2 stars and both solely for the one way car ride and the friendly driver who sparked a conversation. The whole experience was disappointing, to say the least. Visited Greytown for the final day of their Christmas Festival. As I was wandering around, I spotted the vintage cars driving people away and a lovely woman came up with a flyer advising free ride to the museum and free entry. I took her offer and had a lovely ride to the museum. Once there, I was met by 3 women at the entrance to the exhibit. I was taken aback by how rude and unfriendly they were. I was then told entry was koha and when I explained I wasn't aware when I left the main center so didn't have cash, I was guilt tripped to "donate" $5 or $10 via eftpos. I have no problem with a koha and would readily have given it, however I felt like it wasn't koha entry at all. Money was expected and I was glared at when I explained I didn't have any in cash. Also, asking for a $10 donation when entry fee for an adult is $8 was incredible. Once inside, I toured the grounds and had the pleasure of watching and listening to the musicians. I then decided to have a wee snack. Popped into their café to be told that that is also cash only and that I would have to choose what I wanted, traipse back to reception to pay and then double back to pick it up. Needless to say, I didn't purchase anything and promptly left, waiting with a few other groups to be picked up and taken back to the center. We had checked at reception about the rides back that were promised and was advised that the cars will wait at the main center and wouldn't drive down unless they had passengers so they couldn't tell us when we could expect a car let alone enough for the 4 groups waiting. Waited for an hour and no one arrived so the groups waiting ended up walking the distance. Whilst normally fine, I have a prior back injury making this a long and difficult walk. By the time I got back, I was incredibly sore and ended up leaving Greytown very disappointed with this experience.
We only visited the printer workshop because we arrived at the end of the afternoon. We spend a very pleasant time and talked a lot with the volonter. He showed us a lot of things. Thanks to him. The park is lovely. However the price is too high 7$ pp.
