There was lots to love about this museum, particularly the strong and varying array of Kiwi books on offer. The museum itself has obviously had some good money spent on it, and lots of great exhibits. Was a bit disappointed with the history movie, but in everything else, a museum that certainly packs a punch for a small town.
Fantastic museum, lots of local history. Great film to start off the tour, awesome displays and cheap entry fee. Helpful friendly staff. If your in Riverton this is a must do activity.
We were prompted to visit this Museum and Visitor Information Centre by a review which raved about their 15 minute film. We enjoyed it, but not at an 8.6 on IMDb level*!nnHowever Oscar-winning isn’t this short movie’s objective. Rather it’s to provide a succinct and easy to absorb overview of the early local history. Then when you view the many individual exhibits they’re that much more meaningful.nnThe welcome we received from Brent and the information he provided were excellent - ask him for anecdotes about Hillary if he’s there when you are!nnSo it’s well worth the modest ticket price of NZ$9 per adult. This includes entry and introduction movie. $5 for introduction movie only. Kids 14 and under go free.nn*Note: IMDb is a film review and ratings service and nothing to do with sound volume! A film which gets 8.6 on IMDb is truly outstanding.
This is the 2nd oldest town in NZnSteeped in fabulous history.nBeautiful scenery, beaches picnic areas, cafes, art work everywhere. Loved visiting here and will plan another trip where by I stay a while.
Really great experience to visit this little Southland museum. Interesting stories about history of the region, nice welcome movie, friendly staff. Entrance fee $9 per Adult is ok, worth to spend there around 2 hours to read thru all the information panels or enjoy the place. Be aware of motion detector for lights/power so if you got stuck with one exhibition, you'll need to make some move to start power again :
