Other Attractions

'Lock, Stock & Barrel' Retail Shop

Traders and Importers of nautical, Pacific and exotic goods - adjacent to the cafe.

Mr Badger's Cafe

Directly opposite the main doors of the museum is Mr Badger's Cafe. Named after that wonderful character from 'The Wind in the Willows', a series of scale models in the cafe illustrate scenes from the book. The cafe operates the same days and hours as the museum, but groups outside these hours can be catered for by prior arrangement.

Tawhiti Bush Railway

The railway runs on the first Sunday of each month, Sundays during school holidays, and most public holidays, weather permitting.

Farm Power Hall

Close to the Traders & Whalers entrance is the corridor leading into Farm Power Hall - an impressive collection of vintage machinery.
