Quite fantastic insights into the history of New Zealand. Arranged in different areas, such as military, vehicles, immigrants, vehicles, technology and so on... It is great that not only very old things are shown but like a timeline the development from then to the recent past. Very friendly and helpful staff. I would write, it is worth the entrance fee in any case, but it is amazingly even free. Should not actually be missing on the program if you are in the area.
Lots to see and learn about, love all the old stuff. Like the old boat quarters, oven and train carriages. Fun to look at all the names and try find family. Kids might be a bored but I had a good time.
Definitely worth the visit while visiting the city or just go on rainy afternoon. So much local history packed in one place! We visited on Anzac day. And place was fairly quiet with great atmosphere. Give it plenty of time, we stayed 3 hrs. One can try on a wedding dress or buy an old penny for use of polyphon inside the exhibit. Climb aboard of a 100year old tram cart. Fun for both adults and kids with a coffee shop and plenty of souvenirs, goods or related books to buy. Place is wheel chair accesible and has toilets in front and in the exhibit area as well.
Excellent museum. I went to the museum with my family and we had a great time. It was a great way of learning about Otago history. There were a number of different sections. Very spacious and child friendly. I recommend 1-2 hours at a comfortable pace. Admissions by donations.
A great museum that's free to view. It is big so allow at least a few hours!Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
A really amazing museum for local history, I especially liked the settlers' house that you could enter and interact with, and the old tram that you could walk through. I did see a couple of items from my own childhood on display which made me feel my age, but still a brilliant museum to visit with loads of information. And it's free to enter!
