The owner is very knowledgeable. Wonderful collection. U can spend a few hours away just looking at everything In detail. So much stuff for a small place. Well worth the five dollar entry fee. A must do on any day. Well recommended. AA++

Tirau Museum only accepts cash so bring the exact amount, just in case. Geoff has lots of interesting stories so ask him anything about his collection for over 60 years! They don't have a cafe but you can bring your own food and drinks because he made a cool picnic area. He upcycled his old sewing machines and put marble slabs on top to make tables.

I give this place 5 star, only because Google have 5 stars. Otherwise I would rate here hundreds of stars. There are no words can describe my feeling after I visit this museum. In those large, national museum, you will see painting, art or some old stones that maybe can proves history. You will be asked to stand away from the collections. But in here, for most of the collections you can even touch them, you can weight them, and imagine how people are using them. In another word, you can feel the history is flowing between your fingers. That is really a feeling you can’t say. The owner collects everything. Old cameras, fancy stone, telephones, old cars, machines, weapons in WW1 and WW2, and I even saw a real canon from a warship. Before I enter this museum, I think this might be a bad idea to spend $5 to visits, as the looking from the outside was really bad... But now I would say, this place, I would spend $50 dollars in. That’s totally worthy.

Great place, lots to see, I think this little place represents history of NZ even better then Waikato museum. The owner and creator of this place Geoffrey very interesting man, I suggest not to rush and take your time to have a decent conversation with him.

This is an amazing Museum! Two brothers have been collecting this unique collection for more than 50 years. I advise everyone to come here and dive into the history of New Zealand.

One of the best museums I have been to! So many relics & Geoff has been collecting since he was 10! Not like any other museum I have been to. Spent over two hours looking at this collection. Worth the trip.

We visited yesterday and it was fantastic! The museum contained many amazing pieces. It was a great way for children to learn about history. We much prefer this type of museum compared with the Waikato museum. Highly recommend to others!
