Tawhiti Museum near Hawera, Taranaki NZ. Awesome museum showcasing early NZ. History, with an emphasis on Colonial, Farming & Maori History. The models & dioramas are some of the best I’ve seen anywhere in the world from Munich to Canberra. The collections and mock-ups of NZ history outstanding. A real gem of a local museum that I’d recommend going out of your way to. 35 years in the making. Brilliant.

Highly recommend this little local gem. The miniature modeling is next level. An unusual hands on experience which is fun for all ages. Just be careful which doors you open.
Very nice place and friendly staff. creative sculptures and designs. thumbs up
This would have to be one of the best NZ Museums that we have visited. The diorama of of the Intertribal Musket wars, is just amazing, not to mention all of of the other incredible displays. This is a real living Museum that we plan to bring our grand-children back too as we would love to view it through their eyes. Well done Nigel Ogle and team
Jan2021: Went to the Traders&Whalers section. A lot of work gone into this place. Really cool. Worth the then went into the farm machinery & stuff shed. Not my thing but a hit with the rest of the party..
Amazing displays and staff. Visited on a busy day and there was a queue in the tunnel before the traders and whalers tour. Both my husband and myself are a bit claustrophobic post Christchurch earthquakes and couldn't wait in queue once tunnel filled up behind us, so missed out. Would have been ok if we kept moving . Did retry later but same scenario, which was a shame for us.
Well worth a visit. The work that has gone into creating all the exhibits is incredible. Fun boat ride, train ride, Cafe food was good. Lots of old equipment and tools set up and running. Our kids had a great time.
Stopped here after using Google to find somewhere ideal for younger kids... and the 4 adults enjoyed it just as much. The boat ride and little surprise were amazing... the detail in all the models (both big and small) were fantastic. And the machines had all in the group in awe.... highly recommend
