Reviews of New Zealand Rugby Museum
J.
Amazing and well run.
Volunteers are so knowledgeable, you sense there love got the game of Rugby
Even though it was my second time here it's like a new experience all over again.
Loved loved loved it
J.
Today I listened to a talk on the history of the Museum by Stephen Berg. The buildings, the founders, the significance of the objects in the Museum to tell the stories of the game. I was able to handle a replica of the first "All Blacks" team jersey. Currently there is an exhibition on Women's rugby which took months to research. A proud history of NZs national game is right here in Palmerston North
P.
My favourite place in Palmerston North!!! A great place to see alot of greats! Great players, great teams, great info, great memoribilia and collections 👍 fantastic place and a must see for all Rugby Fans
B.
Rugby museum details the history of Rugby, it starts when it was introduced to NZ by Charles John Monro on 1870. He organized a game in Wellington on 12 September 1870, which became a forerunner of inter-provincial rugby, from 1870 it spreads to all parts of New Zealand.
P.
Great place to visit and worth the time. A must see for any Rugby Fan
M.
an incredibly knowledgeable and passionate guide showed our Mid Lifers Group around last week.
It's well worth having a guide.
Great place to visit if you are in Palmerston North, even if you aren't a rugby fan.
C.
Wonderful visit with out toddler grandson. A great couple of hours - and he could have stayed longer. Very impressed with the play area by the front door. Very well thought out.
V.
Great rugby history, carefully presented
T.
My family and I toured the North Island and went out of our way to see the Rugby Museum. We weren't disappointed. Wonderful displays and it's great to see that the history is being preserved. Neil was a fantastic host and went out of his way to make sure we knew our way around. If you have a strong interest in rugby, or have seen a game of rugby or you know what rugby is...you'll love the Museum.
Z.
The New Zealand Rugby Museum has a very broad and interesting variety of rugby stuff, arranged to show the history of rugby in New Zealand. It was really cool to see existing photographs from the first touring team in 1903!
A.
Fantastic museum to take the kids to. Lots of interactive exhibits
P.
Fantastic.. the history of the All Black's from the very beginning. Photos, trophies, kit..take your time and become totally absorbed and then try your skill at kicking a ball
M.
Beautiful history..the best museum I've seen around nz so far..good old palmerston nth..even got a play area for children
T.
I loved it, my son was probably a bit young to appreciate it. He enjoyed the interactive activities would have been nice if they were all working properly.
W.
Incredible place for children! There are so many interesting, interactive experiences for them. ❤️
C.
Got to revisit C&C's Xmas cave. Even under covid restrictions, next to no waiting. Friendly staff.
J.
I have a feeling this is where we took a look at photo art...wow it was outstanding. Loved it. My thanks to Photographers and all who set it up. Brilliant!!
l.
It was great! It was wicked to look at all of the history from when rugby first began through to now :) I am unsure of her name but the lady who was working today (11/02) at around 12.50pm was so lovely! she knew heaps about all that was on display and more and was extremely kind in showing me replica jerseys, explaining the markings on one of them and showing me how people got into stadiums etc, she was excellent :) It is an awesome place to go check out :)
M.
Excellent museum; interesting exhibition and staff who went above and beyond to allow us in after hours with a school tour. The copper boot, the whistle that is used to begin each world cup and countless other items of rugby memorabilia. Definitely worth a visit.
M.
loved it so many child hood memeories
R.
A comprehensive history of the sport of rugby in New Zealand, with a decade by decade breakdown of significant milestones and developments in the sport, going back to the very beginning. Lots of photos, memorabilia, videos and even a scrummaging machine where you can have a go & see if you’ve got what it takes. Covers Maori & women’s rugby as well as Sevens, along with international & domestic 15-a-side. Friendly volunteers will answer any questions you may have. A great hour or two (depending on how keen you are) at no cost. Well recommended.
N.
It's a cute museum, 12.5 local bucks that are worth the visit! A good place to learn about the history of this important chapter of the history of rugby. And you get a pass to visit of the rest of the NZ history museum too.
H.
Amazing visit. So much information and a very knowledgeable tour guide. A fun and enjoyable visit. Thank you so much
M.
Really enjoyed my visit. Plenty of history and rugby memorabilia to keep the rugby fan happy. I didn't try the interactive bit but saw a kid giving it a go. Looked fun.
S.
Good tour guide, I jumped to 3M lol
M.
Rob the host/staff was friendly and amazing....
F.
Great museum if you are at all interested in Rugby. It chronicles the beginnings of the game in NZ and has a lot of memorabilia through many years culminating in the more recent matches between the All Blacks and the Lions.
T.
Very informative with lots of memorabilia.
If you are interested in rugby this is worth the visit.
A.
Well worth a visit, a great collection of historical memorabilia.

D.
This place is amazing!! My kids enjoyed learning NZ rugby history and the staff were more than informative. A must see!!!
S.
A little on the small side, but absolutely packed with information and memorabilia. As I non rugby fan I still found it interesting and the introduction by Rangi was the highlight of my visit.
L.
This is a fantastic piece of New Zealand history and heritage. Well worth the trip, they have many beautiful objects on display, a whole history book worth of information to read, and the custodians are friendly and superbly knowledgeable!
G.
Not an overly large exhibit, and contains some obscure gems of rugby history. An enthusiastic guide can make all the difference in your experience here.
L.
New Zealand Rugby Museum contains New Zealand's biggest and most comprehensive collection of rugby memorabilia and records, including some of the world's rarest rugby artefacts. The home to the first museum devoted to the oval ball - this is a must see! From the first 'fern', the oldest All Blacks jersey and the oldest rugby ball to All Black star Dan Carter's boots!
E.
The museum had tonnes of interesting artifacts and was well presented. It was smaller than I thought it would be, but still kept my husband and I occupied for a couple of hours. There was a 'try station' in the middle of the museum where we had fun trying out kicking the ball, a scrum machine, and a tackle test.
S.
Fantastic experience for the family. We are big fans of the game and the interactive centre was so fun for the kids. Well worth the visit.
J.
The staff are so knowledgeable and helpful- recommend this place even if you’re not into rugby but love history - the children love the interactive area
W.
It's a great trip to plan, to see the memorabilia available about rugby establishing itself in NZ and becoming NZs premier sport.
It needs more support from the NZ Rugby Union though.
A.
Love Rugby? Like history? Then you have to visit this place. With memorabilia dating back to the earliest times of Rugby in New Zealand (1870) to now it is quite an impressive display.
P.
I had a very nice introduction about the history of the museum and it is great to be able to see and to learn more about the beginnings of the sport in NZ!
P.
Amazing art section, the buttons for the children who died in the camps blew me away.

Special thanks for the time spent with our Scouts who came through in groups on Saturday as part of our Regional camp. Stiff competition on the interactive events with a lot of chatter about it back in camp.
A.
Coming to The Museum on 22nd August is the Balls, Bullets and Boots Exhibition commemorating the lives of rugby players from WW1 told through the stories of XV players and 1 woman coach - the exhibition is 'free' to view.

(Translated) A hot explanation by the staff will be included only at the beginning, but it will only cost $ 12 ... I'm not interested in rugby, but it's not so interesting for me, but this town will not do anything ... but things like the 1890s and 1900s are rare Goods can also be seen.
(Original)
最初だけスタッフによる熱い説明が入るが、それだけで12ドル取られる…ラグビー興味ない私からすればあまり面白くはないが、この街は何せやることないので…でも1890年代や1900年代の物など希少なグッズも見られる。

(Translated) This museum was the most beautiful thing we have visited on our New Zealand trip so far !! It's really great and interesting and you can learn a lot about (New Zealand) rugby. Furthermore, you can try out shooting, logging and outlining (is that called?). It's small but worth every dollar!
(Original)
Dieses Museum war das Bestgestalteste, was wir auf unserer bisherigen Neuseelandreise besichtigt haben!! Es ist wirklich toll und interessant aufbereitet und man kann viel über (neuseeländischen) Rugby erfahren. Desweiteren kann man sich im schießen, stämmen und umreißen ausprobieren (heißt das so?). Es ist klein, aber jeden Dollar wert!
A.
(Translated) It is a very interesting place to visit, but perhaps being the museum of the largest rugby institution in the world, it remains somewhat small.
The man who was in charge of the museum accompanied us and explained the history of rugby in New Zealand with incredible enthusiasm and respect.
(Original)
Es un lugar muy interesante para visitar, pero quizá siendo el museo de la mayor institución de rugby del mundo, se queda algo pequeño.
El señor que estaba al cargo del museo nos acompañó y explicó la historia del rugby en Nueva Zelanda con una ilusión y un respeto increibles.

(Translated) I think it's irresistible for rugby lovers ...

(Translated) It is very good, but I expected more. Talking about the museum of the all blacks I imagined a giant museum.

Está muy bueno, pero esperaba más. Hablar del.museo de los all blacks me imaginaba museo gigante.

(Translated) For rugby buffs especially. For others it's an interesting step, exhibitions and interactive screens, we learn more about the extraordinary All Black.

Pour les mordus de rugby surtout. Pour les autres c'est une étape intéressante, des expos et des écrans interactifs, on en apprend plus sur les extraordinaires All Black.
