塔瓦提博物馆印象

Set at least 3-4 hours aside to be able to see all exhibits. Cafe was good too. The new extension "Whalers and Traders is worth the time to see as well.

this place is an Aladdin's cave of artefacts from settler and Maori history, plus the figures in the scenes are fantastic. we also went on the whaler/sealer exhibit involving a boat ride a bit like a fairground ride through replica scenery. The latter was not as informative as i'd have liked but on exiting you walk through a very helpful gallery of material and commentary which in hindsight was probably best after the atmospheric part of the tour. well done museum designers! café very average was only downer.

This museum is located in an old dairy factory off a side road not far from Hawera and approximately 50 minutes drive from New Plymouth. It is a well worth the drive to visit this museum as it has some great exhibits and amazing dioramas both large and small. The owner Nigel Ogle is a very talented model maker and has produced some very life like figures. In addition to the main museum building there are several smaller buildings displaying aspects of Taranakis history plus a large display hall with a good display of vintage tractors, farm implements and military vehicles. I loved the home built boxthorn hedge trimmers which had been built on WWII Universal carriers.We also took a trip on their bush railway (check the operating days for this as it doesn't go every day) and went on a boat ride in the Traders and Whalers display. The museum, bush railway and Traders and Whalers all have separate charges so you can choose to visit all of them or if you don't have enough time you can just pay to visit one of the attractions. We spent over four hours here and thoroughly enjoyed it. It is a must do if you are visiting Taranaki

Brilliant place, if you want to learn all about the Taranaki region over the years gone past this is the place for you. It`s full of all the old tools and farm machinery from tractors to old motorcycle, to trucks etc it`s a " Gota-go-there" attraction. We spent hrs looking round and finished up at the end of the day having a nice cuppa and sticky bun in their café`.

Has been about 15 years since I visited Tawhiti Museum and I am very impressed with how far they have come! My 4 year old son was blown away and loved the train and boat rides! Definitely worth paying the extra money to go on those rides, the train driver is full of knowledge and good humour and the boat ride was eery and wonderfully set out! Will be back, and hopefully won't be another 15 years away!

Tawhiti museum has certainly succeeded in making the regional history interesting. There are two exhibitions, each with its own entry and ticket. I went to Traders and Whalers, a portrayal of the history of early contact between Maori people and international traders. No walls of writing and pictures in this museum! Instead, there are life-like models of people in scenes depicting some of the typical activity of the day, viewed from a boat which is conveyed, theme-park-style, along rollers. The boat ride is short, but well-designed and interesting. The next section contains a series of dioramas in fascinating detail. I liked the fact that the museum presented one aspect of one region's history, rather than attempting to show a large amount of information. I was able to more easily relate to the stories and the lives portrayed.

This place was a real surprise - being off the beaten path we were uncertain about making the deviation to get there but our friends insisted that it was worth it. They were right and we'd happily go again.

You have 3 activities to choose from.1. The Museum. $15 adult2. Trader's and Whalers. $15 adult3. The Bush Train. not sure on priceWe only did the museum. Well worth the money. All the displays are hand made by the owner. the detail is over the top.We will be back to do Traders and Whalers. The only let down was the cafe.
