What people are saying
“Like visiting a geeky boy's bedroom”
Apr 2014
A slightly awkward and strangely compelling collection of memorabilia, with a very enthusiastic curator. A bit odd and a bit overpriced, but a good way to spend a rainy afternoon, especially the hands on part of the collection.

“Not what you'd expect!”
Apr 2014
We searched activities to do in Oamaru and found this, which was perfect for my 16 year old time travel fanatic son's birthday outing! I was expecting to be bored but there really was something for every one here - not so much about time travel but more about movie memorabilia through the ages! We all thoroughly enjoyed it. The admission charge was high and I don't think the price board should have admitted this with associated justifications, but for special occasions was a perfect treat.

Timetravellers Closed its doors over a year ago now. We found that a lot of people did find the price on the high side, but this was in keeping with what it reflected and what is happening overseas. People from New Zealand as a rule are not used to paying to get into museums and this was reflected in the number of people that paid to gain entry at any price. People had to realize that the overheads etc were high and as it was not viable in such a location.
