2. Te Manawa Museum of Art, Science & Heritage
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 235 reviews
At the cultural heart of our city, Te Manawa draws art, science and heritage together to reflect our past, illuminate the present and inspire a creative and sustainable future for our growing region and its people. Our public want deeper and more energetic access to their museums. They want to see and hear their stories told, in their own voices. They are right to demand inclusion, representation and participation. These make for personal experiences that touch them emotionally, inspire them creatively and give life and mana to their collective heritage – making for an exciting place to live. The main goal of Te Manawa Museums Trust is to provide the people of Manawatū and beyond with interactive experiences in art, science and heritage. For us, it is all about connection. People should feel passionate and excited about, and attached to Te Manawa, the collections we care for, and the experiences we shape with them.

Excellent Museum for adults and children. The kids play area for under 7s is fantastic for the young ones to explore things. The social history gallery is great to look into the display cases to see things that have gone by. The staff are very friendly and accommodating.

We go every year to the Teams Champs, always great racing, the crowds are normally all well handled, the food vendors are always good. The queues for the ladies toilets are just crazy though, you often miss a whole race waiting in line!

Walk through the rose garden during bloom time. See the colours on display. Breathe in the fragrant scents, especially the Double Delight variety There are more than 80 varieties to see. Take a stroll around the adjoining park to see the birds or cross the road to see the Manawatu River and walk along its bank. Also enjoy the cherry blossoms at the entrance during spring time.

This indoor facility provides a wonderful active experience for children aged 4 -16. with multiple bouncy activities and a light airy and cheerful atmosphere, it will give traveling children a real work out on a rainy day. Very clean, awesome staff and pleasant smelling - some of these places are dark dingy and gruesome smelling - this place is none of these. The facilities are clean, toilets are well presented, smell clean and are light and airy. The food stall is sufficient with coffee as well as healthy snacks - there is no overpowering smell of hot chips - a refreshing change from other children activity centres. Best asset - the staff - lovely young men and women work at the centre and are actively jumping with the children, showing them tricks, encouraging their challenge by choice and role modeling good attitude. These teenagers are talented athletes, a delight to watch, are lovely with the kids, encouraging, positive and inclusive. Price $10 for a child - we stayed for 2 and 1/2 hours in school holidays for this price. the price was for one hour, but if the cetre is quiet, there appears to be little focus on the time spent. $2.50 special socks need to be purchased - but you get to keep these and use them another day if you return.
