Really interesting learning about the history of Feilding. Lots of things to look at not just machines. Very informative.
R. M.
This is a really good museum with interesting displays. There are some interactive components as well. Those interested in farming and machinery will especially enjoy this museum. Great for learning about pioneer New Zealand.

We arrived on a damp drizzly day and were offered blankets to wear around our shoulders as the temperature in the museum is kept low to help with the preservation of the items on display. And what a display. The museum is huge and details the history of the area from pre-European history down to more modern times. It was fascinating and I heartily recommend a visit if you are in the area.
W.
Had a wanderful time,at the moment,light-show is on and really enjoyed it, definately advise seeing it.
J.
Amazing place. Displays are well organized and some are even hands on. Loved reading about the history of the township development. Lots to see and do and my guide Piki was knowledgeable, friendly and hot!! Staff there in general were lovely.
H. T.
This museum has some really good stuff to look at. It only takes about 30-40 mins to walk around and look at everything. There is a really good range of John deer tractors. My favourite parts were the New Zealand Bush display, The sheep shearing area and the John deer area.
P. E.
Huge museum with lots of tractors and horse-drawn gigs, including a virtual ride on a real gig. Interesting early Feilding history. Maintained by a huge team of volunteers. Worth the $12 admission.
P. D.
A fantastic collection of historical pieces from the local 'Manchester' area. There is an extensive and amazing collection of horse drawn carriages and gigs. The extensive collection of Singer sewing machines is unparalleled. Same can be said for the John Deere tractors. All is which beautifully restored and tells the story how the area was surveyed, cleared, and became the magnificent farming community today.
The kids enjoyed the find the bird and the bird call exhibit which included Kiwi, Tui, Wax Eyes, and even Huia. They also loved the virtual horse and carrage down the main Street of Fielding.
Staff are fantastic and are very knowledgeable of the exhibits and the local history.
This is a fantastic museum and we are glad we discovered it.

Absolutely awesome transport and farming museum. Can well recommend, huge display with excellent interpretive signage. A "must do" in Manawatu.
S. G.
It was a nice experience... Love that museum ♥️ worth for money.. But children maybe not like this much more
L. J.
It was awesome, well set out, interesting displays, some knowledgeable guys on hand to chatt to and some excellent information. Loved it and am telling all my friends to go and check it out.
A. T.
Will have to make a return visit. Had a couple of hours there but need at least another couple to come near doing it justice. Well presented and explained. The greatest history of John Deere I have seen in one place. Something to interest just about everyone. Keep up the great work team.
G. “. M.
I believe it's mostly run by proud volunteers who do a great job of making you feel invited. Great piece of history. The collection is well maintained and a bit of hands on stuff for the kiddies too. You could go here three times and see something new. Amazing collection of old John Deere tractors that could rival anywhere else in ten world
R.
Excellent provincial Museum run by enthusiastic volunteers well worth a vist and we will go again.
M. M.
Absolutely brilliant, if you are in Feilding you need to go to this place. Support it and keep things like this initiative alive.
A. &. M. W.
We visited with our youngest three grandchildren. We were all fascinated with the blend of old and futuristic created by the lights. The staff were superb. We loved the atmosphere created.
S. L.
A world class museum that is a credit to the district, the town, the sponsors, the volunteers and the individuals who have created this amazing community treasure in 6 short years
You will need at least 2 to 4 hours at least

This museum in Feilding, New Zealand is probably on of the best lesser known museums in the country and is well worth the visit. The displays are mainly on agricultural history of the area and they do have several interactive displays and a few yesteryear games that kids will enjoy (they will love the spinning top game). There is a lot of old farming equipment but they aren't just sitting there rusting away, as they are in almost mint condition and some of them look like they still get used today. The cost is only $12 per adult and $6 per child so anyone can afford to go and have a look. Expect a visit to take 1 to 1-1/2 hours.
L. E.
This was an excellent morning wandering through most of the exhibits. Ran out of time.
B. L.
Superb. Well presented, high quality exhibits. Visiting once is not enough.
G.
An excellent opportunity to go and see many articles from the past and highly recommend it to everyone as there is lots of parking and great people to help show you around. Ask for kelvin. He's a wonderful guy.
Y. T.
Large collection of coaches and farming vehicles. Lots of interesting history. Great rainy day activity but not particularly interesting for young kids I shouldn't think.
H. D.
It is good opportunity to see early lifestyle in New Zealand. There are broad range of phaetons and tractors. They have heaps of information about materials, machines and history.
J. B.
Awesome place. Visited and toured the museum and it was very well set up and interesting to see all the stuff displayed and explained. We'll worth a visit.

Large, well presented, display of local early European settlement and farming development. From a surveyor's camp to horse drawn vehicles to a great collection of restored John Deer tractors. An open day and display of old skills in action is planned for 18th April 2021. Motorhome & caravan parking available at other times. Wheelchairs & mobility scooters available for visitors.
M. E.
Awesome way to spend an hour or so and have something to go back to.. Well presented memories.

An extensive collection of mainly transport, farming, sawmilling, blacksmithing and related equipment from the first settlement of the area until recent times. Good display of John Deere tractors. I happily spent several hours browsing their collection.

(Translated) The Carriage Agriculture Museum is required to enter the tour for a fee, showing the historic horse-drawn vehicles and farming equipment in kind, which is worth the fare. It is recommended to be listed as the must come place.
