well I must have driven past this place 1000 times & never stopped for a look. Well worth the visit and has array of displays.suggestion is to have a coffee or some food at Tirau or Okoreirei and then s short 8 minute ride to the museum.2 to 3 hrs to look around. The owner will give you a short tour then leave you to have a good look. Covered seating outside if you want to take a brew & some sarnies.$5 entry fee and will do groups. Has a BBQ near entry but ring first & see how that works.also has cars & bikeshttp://www.nzmuseums.co.nz/account/3158
