Reviews of Taranaki Pioneer Village
L.Great little village showing a slice of New Zealand life as it was from 1880s to 1950s. Stratford Hospital exhibit was terrific. Excellent recreations of homes and shops. Well worth a visit to relive our history that we should never forget.
D.Had such a great day here with the family. We arrived at 1, just missing the 1pm train ride, but it took a good 2 hours to go around the village looking at everything, and then we took the 3pm ride. The train ride was great - our small boys loved it !
There is plenty to do here - lots of heritage buildings and great detail about their histories. When we visited we were the only people in the entire park, so it was quite magical.
I recommend that you allow at least 2-3 hours to check out everything in the village. Cost is very reasonable - I think we paid about $24 for two adults and two kids, including a train ride (two laps of the entire village). They have eftpos and a cafe, so no need to bring cash or food.
J.Step back in time ...spent about an hour and a half looking round and going on the train ride...totally enjoyed it ....Is it something I would do again ...No ...But it is a must go see at least once ...
V.Loved the spot. Great atmosphere. Great service. Thoroughly enjoyed.
A.Kids loved checking out all the old things and seeing how they worked and loved the train ride.
k.It looks like an old town. Lots of old house. Enjoyable train ride. A must visit place in taranaki.
R.Real cool spot. Nice to see local history. Train is a nice novelty for the littles.
J.Beautiful setting, lovely to look at history of the buildings so very interesting, lovely friendly people
M.Awesome place to be. As a teenager, it was nice to look back at history at how life was like. Good train ride for $4. Very delicious food at the cafe. Enjoyed this experience!
G.Absolutely amazing, take your time & expect to take up to 3 hours to see all .
S.Very enjoyable,and tasty! visit, than you.
송.School trip was awesome in here
C.Step back in time and stroll around this pioneer village to see how the early settlers lived and worked during 1850-1950’s
Allow a good 2 hours so you can take a train ride for two circuits around village.Feed the rooster and hens that follow you around or take a picnic lunch to have by the lake.
All buildings have been relocated including a hospital and you can step inside and check out the memorabilia.
All this is setup and looked after by volunteers who are very informative.
From school houses to train stations and jails , there is something for everyone.
A must see into Taranaki early history.
R.Only had a coffee it was really nice and hot. Great location heaps off road parking but driving pass looked like it was closed more signage out side would help
L.Really great, well worth the stop!
H.Great community village, so much to see. We visited for the teddy bears picnic. Only mention: No MC to introduce events throughout the day, we arrived about 10.30am and at 12pm no announcements. Many people seemed a bit stumped at the lack of direction/vibe.
Great decorate a biscuit stall , lovely ladies.
I.I think new owners..very nice food.
S.So cute. Kids loved it. Staff friendly and warm. Well worth the money spent
M.Had a wonderful time going here along with my children's school. Great experience, a blast in the past that truly takes you back in time and help you appreciate what it once was like to live here in Taranaki itself. Great historical collection definitely need a lot of time to truly take everything in.
J.I spent 4 hours here exploring with my partner. It's a great little romantic spot for a date. The train ride was very cute and fun. Great to discover the local history of Taranaki area and it's pioneer settlers. Worth the small entrance fee.

S.Great stop for a quiet and educative afternoon
N.Excellent kiwi style walk around old village with interesting information and easy on the wallet. Good for at least a couple of hours. Train ride there too $3 extra, we'll worth it.
S.I went for the train ride and stayed for the great hospitality. The infamous Taranaki Rain joined us for the afternoon, so we took off into town. Great experience and I ended up getting the membership.

О.(Translated) The place is permeated with the spirit of antiquity. It is interesting to look at the life of past centuries. Clean, neat. We walked with pleasure, went into houses, a library, a school, a church. And the police station and prison cells are goosebumps!
Many thanks to the organizers of the museum and people who maintain order.

Место пронизано духом старины. Интересно посмотреть на быт прошлых столетий. Чисто, аккуратно. Гуляли с удовольствием, заходили в дома, библиотеку, школу, церковь. А полицейский участок и тюремные камеры аж до мурашек по коже!
Огромное спасибо организаторам музея и людям, поддерживающим порядок.
M.(Translated) Very interesting, there are many different professions shown ma can see with what means lived and worked. Great village where you feel transported back in time
