Reviews of Tokomaru Steam Engine Museum
b.For a 10 dollar entry on the way back to Wellington from Palmy , how could it not be worth while, the steam engines was the highlight plus the ride in trams and trains.
I hadn't been to the historic place for nearly 20 years, but from the time I entered until the time I left, I thoroughly enjoyed myself. There must be about 35 different exhibits, including working steam trains, trams, & trolley buses, Edwardian houses & shops, model trains in diorama, the largest display of old fire engines, aeroplanes from my childhood and before, and so much more. We were invited to take high tea & enjoy a show in a period theatrette - quite enchanting, then wander past quaint bantams & a feisty rooster.
We have enjoyed the static train & tram rides, We were there for about 4 hours and managed to get around everything. Best to bring lunch - plenty of areas to picnic in. Cameras are a must, and comfortable shoes. Not good in wet or cold weather though.
N.What a wonderful place! Note that it's only open by appointment, so please call ahead. It's also not expensive ($10 for adults and $5 for kids.)
The host is a lovely lady who put this collection together with her husband over 40+ years. The machines, of which there are many, are in great condition and are a testament to NZ engineering.
If you're someone who appreciates mechanics and history, this museum is a must see.
T.Fantastic Experience the tour was amazing and the owners new their stuff well worth the visit to see Some of the world rarest steam engines, traction Engines and some of the coolest train models around

Call first as not normally open to public.
The guy in charge has only been there about 4 years and is doing the best he can, to maintain what was started by the original owner
He needs help.
