I enjoyed coming in here, it offers more exploration and wonder than many museums as it’s set up as almost a school activity/ investigation center. It has things they encourage you to touch, drawers you open, places to explore and little info boards that open up. Even has a creative coloring in section for if you have a young one who gets bored.
Interesting museum, contains exhibits from many fields, everyone will find something for themselves. It's impossible to be bored. Free entry, donation can be made in cash or by credit card
Quaint museum with very informative panels ; I particularly liked the coverage on the wildlife and introduced animals like rabbits! in New Zealand. Turns out the only little blue penguin I saw, was in this museum albeit it is a taxidermied version nnThe museum does not charge an entry fee and has two floors. Great place to get acquainted on the various aspects of history the early travellers, wildlife, etc.
Free entry, friendly staff recommends some good advice how to see the blue penguin: you will know more about Timaru after visiting the museum.
Interesting books in the shop, rocks to touch, Maori and early settlers items, mounted animals and birds all tell the story of the inhabitants of the area. Tidy and well-lit, laid out in curves to draw the visitor onward. Plenty of visitors wandering through; children were enjoying a competition to find how many poppies were placed around the Museum
