A really authentic experience

My partner suggested we have a look at this place because we had never visited before. I was not sure what to expect, but I was certainly not disappointed. This is a re-created Edwardian village that really depicts how life was in settler times in...More

A Great Trip Down Memory Lane

An eclectic mix of Victorian times to around the 1960's. Look at themed stores. Travel through time in the vehicle museum (and more). Travel on the double decker tram. There's an old train, at $2 each this great value. This is not modern day replica...More

Wonderful transport and technology museum.

This was full of unexpected surprises. I wish we could have had more time there. Reasonably priced for all that was on offer. It covers a large area so wear comfy shoes. Very small children would get bored as it is so spread out. The...More
