Informativ und liebevoll gestaltet
Wir haben Shantytown an einem regnerischen Tag besucht. Wir waren gegen Mittag da und dachten, die 5 Stunden bis zur Schließung seien mehr als ausreichend. Doch dann haben wir es nicht geschafft, Chinatown anzusehen und sind durch Schule, Krankenhaus, Feuerwehrhaus usw. praktisch durchgerannt, da der Park bereits schloss. Die Schautafeln (vor allem auf dem Weg von der Mühle hinunter zur "Hauptstraße") sind liebevoll gestaltet, die Menge an Informationen über Neuseelands Goldgräbervergangenheit beeindruckend. Die Verknüpfung historischer Fakten mit dem Schicksal einzelner Individuen macht Geschichte für Groß und Klein erlebbar. Insgesamt ein rundes Konzept und absolut den Eintrittspreis wert!

Ok für reduzierten Preis
Wir haben nur den halben Preis bezahlt,dafür war es ok. Leider hat es geregnet und es waren wenig Leute da. Der Besuch haut einen nicht um und einiges könnte auch besser is Schuss sein. Es war auch nicht alles zugänglich.

Shantytown
We had a wonderful time at Shantytown. The whole complex was amazing, so well presented. The staff for us were the highlight, friendly informative and full of laughter and fun. We spent the whole day there and recommend it to any age.

We enjoyed it!
Spent 3 hours walking around all the little shops and reading history and stories, if you like old days I would say go have a look. It was a wet day when we went but that didn’t really damper the mood. Good for family. Would definitely go again.
