Not a lot there

Ferrymead was much more vibrant and happening back in the 80's. Even though we went on an event day, there was little happening and was disappointing. Won't be back.

Special gold coin entry

For a dollar entry on the heritage week, how could it not be worth while, the barber was the highlight plus the ride in trams and trains.

It's not what it used to be.

Not worth going. Might as well just go to the museum. But our family of 6 it was not worth going to.

Office staff needs to be mindful of where they work!

A beautiful heritage park that desperately is in need of vibrancy and lift. A first glimpse into the park is when one enters the main area whereby we buy tickets. Absolutely disappointing! The staff are dressed in their ‘normal’ everyday clothes, and there’s coffee machine...More
