Really good place to go specially on a rainy day

I have learn a lot and the presentation is very good. The Māori lady was great and answered a lot of my questions. At $22.50 per person it was really worthwhile but would not pay $40.00 for it. Definetly need those attraction in Greymouth.

Absolutely a must do! So well done, informative and professional. A great way to learn about the history without it feeling like a history lesson in school. The staff are professional and friendly. This is something greymouth to be very proud of

Okay

Für den normalen Preis hätten wir uns geärgert. Optisch schön mit Effekten, aber letztendlich überwiegend nur zu lesen. Ohne Übersetzungen für Fremdsprachen. Wir hätten uns mehr zum "Anfassen" gewünscht. Zudem war Zugang erst 10 min nach Öffnung möglich, da Personal erst 1 min vorher kam.
