★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is a really cool open air museum looking at Nelson from the beginning of European settlement through to today with heritage buildings and artefacts including railways and maritime equipment. My favourite thing on my most recent visit was the Bristol Freighter airplane. Inside the plane is a video explaining how the plane worked and how it was operated.
I'll definitely go back to see more of what's on offer

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great day out. The old buildings are incredible and many of them still house active businesses using the old techniques. The kids loved the old fire engines, buses and the aeroplane that you can go inside. Some weekends they run the train and some the railcar. You do pay extra for a ride but it’s a pretty decent train ride. Loads of history in the place, the cafe is decent and has nice food, coffee and beer. Well worth a visit. Nice and friendly for children

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Good place to look around, mix match of eveything for eveyone. Allow a few hours if you're going to read most signs. The cafe is only open some days which was a disappointment.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ What great setup for the heritage of nelson at one place. Very well designed and mapped. Perfect place for tourist, young kids to enjoy the antiques of New Zealand. Main attraction for me was the old buildings, especially the ones which are moved in there original state.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Loved this place but was disappointed that the shops in the park were not open (Cafe and a couple of others). I definitely would allow no less than 2 hours to explore as there is so much to see! And I was skeptical about it thinking there's no way it would take long haha. Train ride was neat too, the people were lovely
