Reviews of Opossum World
J.Always a must do visit when in Napier. Some hilarious displays. Has changed a little over the years but good to see it still around. My mum bought some gifts for her friends in the UK and a lovely pair of gloves. Dad found the whole place hilarious
S.I have been so much warmer in winter since I've had a possum merino jersey from here, which has 35% possum fur. I didn't realise some have more than others until the helpful owner told me. What a difference!
It's a lovely shop, with some fun possum exhibits too, and the sound of the NZ bush
M.Loved the back of the shop where you could watch possums singing on the road again and other native birds, this is free to view. All kinds of possum.products all.price.ranges.depending on.what you.need
N.Opossum world has great quality Possum fur products and provides an interesting place at the back of the shop to learn about possums and their history. As possums are a threat to native birds and need to be killed off anyway, using their fur for clothing is a great way to recycle. The fur is soft and a great alternative to other animals that don't need to be killed. Overall great store layout, and if you have the money, it is definitely worth spending at opossum world.
B.I went to this store looking for wool to knit some cool winter socks and YES they stocked a merino and possum blend which was absolutely perfect. The lady owner was so helpful and informative. I think l’ll be knitting a few pair so I’ll definitely go back. They really do stock pretty much everything possum or opossum.
T.My daughter LOVES her open finger opossum gloves she bought here. She wishes she would have gotten a second pair, perfect for Canada weather! Very nice store, fun Opossum info in the back. Really great customer service representatives. Will definitely visit again!
B.Opossum World is an interesting shop found along the Marina Parade that might be worth a stop for those interested in the history of opossums and how they came to be such a nuisance in New Zealand. As should be obvious, you can purchase a range of souvenirs and other products made opossum fur.
At first, we thought this was a bit like the Merino wool shops you can find around New Zealand. However, in addition to the opossum fur products, you will find some general information relating to how the opossums where introduced to New Zealand and the ecological problems that have caused. This makes a nice element to visiting Opossum World. We had no idea there were 70 million wild opossums in NZ now.
In the end, Opossum World is not your typical souvenir shop. Items felt a bit pricey but we enjoyed learning more about the opossum situation during our stop here. In this regard, we found this an interesting shop to consider visiting in Napier.
C.Today Im wearing the gorgeous Lothlorien possum and merino garment I brought from Opossum World. Its so beautiful and warm and looks good with everything ! Excellent friendly service from Lynette. Totally worth a visit!
s.Used to be awesome until the skin market crashed. Great place to shop if you still appreciate quality, handmade garments made of possum fur and help the native birds while shopping.
C.Worth popping in to see the displays at the back. Bit of fun with the stuffed possums and birds, and educational too. Learn about the damage that possums do to NZ native wildlife.
Note: now in new location on Hastings St.
V.Great place to take young children to learn about possums and native birds, and it's free!
H.Beautiful garments in an array of colours. Lightweight and warm. Helpful and friendly assistants.
b.Amazing shop. Love my possum and merino beanie ☺️👍 thinking about buying a jumper next.
R.Very good service from Lynette. Quick and easy with quality products
A.A great selection of clothing sold by friendly people but a little pricey.
