I wonderful place to spent some time. There is a cafe on site, with decent coffee and cabinet food. There are heaps to see, so make sure you have time. A great selection of historic farm vehicles and tools and some army vehicles, but the models are the best. Each scene so detailed, it's definately a must see.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
I haven't visited here for 12 years. We took our grandson, aged 14. He loved it. It was so different, and interesting. One day isn't long enough to take it all in. The story of Taranaki. So well done. The dioramas had so much detail. It is Taranaki's best kept secret. It stands up well against anything in Europe. The rain was no problem, as virtually everything is indoors!
What a great must do. One of the best. Many exhibits, boy garage stuff and also some things for the ladies. Do the boat ride , we'll worth it. The young lad we had in the boy was very good. He has a nice story to why he is there. Thank you
Recounts the history of the area from the arrival of the Europeans to the automobile via scaled dioramas, life size models, bush train and boat. Definitely a must place to visit and you need to allow at least 5-6 hours to see everything. Photos limited as most areas have copyright art.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot sure
Wow amazing experience. Well worth the price. Recommend doing the whole lot the main musuem and the train and Whalers and Traders which is a ride. You can learn so much and kids will love the intricate diaramas and rides. I was constantly surprised and impressed by the intricate detail. We spent about 4-5 hours there and were highly entertained the entire time. If you live in Taranaki region you have to visit here at least once.
The best museum we have been to! It was interactive and ingenious! We had the Traders and Whalers which includes boat ride, train to the bush and farm power hall were very exciting with realistic human size displays of Maori culture and Pakeha early settlers in Taranaki. We were not able to visit the museum itself and the cafe so will definitely come back to visit again. Kudos to the owner for this award winning gem of a place.
Awesome museum showcasing different periods of early New Zealand history. Get tickets for both the Museum and Traders & Whalers, and spend a good 3-4 hours seeing everything.
Beautiful place to learn about history. Thoroughly enjoyed the train ride and the boat ride. The ending in the Cafe was a treatVisited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
What an awesome museum....something for everyone here...the life sized model as so realistic and the detail in the diaramas superb. Spent 2.5 hours there but didnt get to see everything.... would like to go back when we are up that way another time
Fantastic Museum, different as it shows history with amazing miniature dioramas as well as nany like size displays. Also has a expansive collection of tractors and other farm equipment. Gift shop and cafe on site. So much to see, we spent over 3hrs there. Thoroughly enjoyed it. A must see when travelling around this area.
