Taranaki Aviation Transport & Technology Museum

“We visited the Taranaki Aviation Technology Museum with our family, including kids, and had a wonderful experience. From the moment we arrived, we received such a warm and friendly welcome, which made us feel comfortable right away. The explanations provided were clear, engaging, and very informative. It was especially great for the kids, as they could easily understand and connect with the exhibits. The museum itself is amazing - it really allows you to imagine the evolution of aviation and technology over time. It’s not just educational, but also inspiring. It gives you a sense of how far innovation has come and encourages the mind to think about future possibilities. Highly recommended place in Taranaki.”

“The Taranaki Aviation Transport & Technology Museum is truly a hidden gem in Taranaki! I’ve visited this museum twice now, and each time the volunteers have been incredibly kind, welcoming, and full of knowledge. Their passion really adds to the experience. Every area of the museum is packed with fascinating throwbacks that take you on a deep dive into the past. From old CRT TVs and radio systems to oil rigs, transport displays, and everyday living. It really does cover all bases. I highly recommend this museum to anyone wanting a nostalgic trip back in time or to explore and learn about different parts of history.”

“Most AMAZING experience from a bygone era! VERY hands on for children & adults alike! All under cover from intrepid weather. Fotos & videos very welcome.
