Goldfields Mining Centre

Reviewed By Michalo416 - Hawera, New Zealand

Glad we turned around. Cool self guided walk around the old miners huts and shafts then met up with Bruce who showed us lots of interesting stuff and how to pan for gold. We managed to find 3 pieces to take home. Well priced at $25 each.

We had an Absolutely Fantastic morning at Highlands. They have amazing friendly staff, awesome go karts and go kart track, a wide variety of cars to view in the museum and lastly a hugely talented pro driver (Andrew) for a fast lap in the taxi. Thanks we loved every minute and look forward to our next visit. Highly recommend visiting, something for everyone, even if your not a car freak.
