Yaldhurst Museum — Attraction in Christchurch

Set on a farm like area it has been around a long time think they started building it around late 60's. it offers a very unique experience of New Zealand’s technological past, and is close to the center of Christchurch and not far from the Airport. Well worth going if this type of thing is your cup of tea as a lot of work has been put in to make this an enjoyable experience. Even if your not into these things you can appreciate the hard work and life long ambition put into it. It has an on site cafe you can use even if you don't go into the museum, which is great if someone in your party doesn't want to go into the museum. The cafe is open to the public 5 days a week, Wednesday to Sundays. Offers barista coffee and plenty of fresh food well worth stopping for something to eat. Hard to find places that have had so much passion put into it the collection would never be able to be replaced now days or would cost a fortune. Great to have in the city and needs to be kept going so future generations can experience...

Great place to look at older cars ... many are in the restoration process or past it but its still an adventure.If you go as a club usually you will be invited to working and storage areas others don't get a chance too .. well worth a look at and the coffee shop is nice too for a hot or cold drink and something...
