One of my favourite museums in New Zealand. Free admission, with two levels of fascinating displays and local collections. What made my visit truly memorable was the warm welcome at reception. As someone new to Timaru, the kind lady at the front desk not only introduced me to the museum but also gave helpful tips about the area, which made settling in so much easier. A wonderful museum made even better by the people.
Really neat museum offering a great history of the region. Easy to lose track of time with so much on offer. Admission is free but donations always welcomed.
2 levels of information!n: i love how much info is packed into the space. They used the area really well.nTheres an exhibition regarding WW2.. informative and thought-provoking to a certain extent. Theres also exhibits on the wildlife and the origins to modernisation of new zealand.nI spent 1.5hrs here. Would have been more if they hadnt close at 430pm.nnIt was nice to wander through the exhibits, reading everything. The staff were very nice and gave u space, whenever needed.nnNo admission fee but the museum runs on donation. Always happy to give, to maintain.
Honestly better than I thought, glad I decided to pop by instead of skipping. Got some very good information about historical wildlife and settlement, I loved the collections of shells and butterflies
Super nice staff. The Explorer program is so good, combined with finding the collection items! So much fun! Please bring out more different versions, the kids loves them.
