In addition to the exhibits, there are kids' play areas, displays of vintage fashions and a great cafe on site. The museum is not just for car enthusiasts but also appeals to families looking for an entertaining day out.
Felt like literally the only thing to do in Invercargill. This place made the drive to Invercargill worth it and I highly highly recommend it. I didn’t go to the motorcycle collection (which was at a different location) but I should have. Everything in here was so thought out, it was well looked after and maintained so well. So many collections, and not only cars. Even the toilets were one of a kind!

This is the place to be in Invercargill for anyone who is a fan of vehicles, trucks, vintage cars, and vans.
Bill Richardson Transport World is a pretty huge place and the collection of vehicles especially the trucks is splendid! This is the most popular tourist attraction in town.
The vehicles displayed looks extremely new and very well taken care and they come in different bright colors. Amazing effort from the management and staff for keeping the place so organized and clean.
There is a cafe at the lobby area and the food served was really good, especially the baked salmon. Highly recommended to try the food at this cafe before exploring the many vehicles!

Great collection. A real treat. Entrance fee is probably a bit too high though at 40 dollars. I was speaking to folks locally who would like to go, but can't afford it. Seems a shame. Cafe is good and even though a large group had just arrived, turnaround was quick.

Huge! This is a must do for any motoring enthusiast. Plenty to see. Good cafe, kids room and a kid play area with lego. So much to look at and appreciate. Parking is easy.

This is a great place to visit for the engine enthusiast. If you're not there are things that you will find interesting like exhibits on McDonalds, Juke Boxes and even a small comfortable cinema with comfortable seats and blankets.
There are lots of Fords and trucks but there are also a number of other makes and types of vehicles to cater for those that appreciate the mechanical perfection of the internal combustion engine. There were audio/visual displays that were informative and engaging.
For the Gents; you need to check out the toilets in the corner of the main room; when you go in you will understand why this is a special room.
A well curated museum with great exhibits.
James Northey — Google review
Stunning! Incredible! I am far from being a "car guy", but this place just had me awestruck! The workmanship and attention to detail shine through in each and every vehicle on display, and the history of the founding family ties it all together.
But wait - there's more! There are outstanding collections of restored gas pumps, jukeboxes, fabrics, and various memorabilia.
You will be kicking yourself later if you come to this area and fail to visit this attraction.
Pro tip: don't leave yourself short of time to visit. We spent about 2.5 hours, and I could easily have spent another couple hours.

Such a Fabulous private collection of vintage truck and car collection in Invercargill and must visit place for every one with kids. If Kids get tired, they’ll have a lot of fun in the LEGO room with painting and gaming.They also have a gift shop with variety of books and toys collection and a huge collection of McDonald’s toy collection which kids will love the most. Altogether we had a wonderful experience and the best part is our Kids had a really good time. Make sure to take only memories and leave only footprints.

If you are a fan of automobiles - and even if not - you should visit Bill Richardson Transport World if you're in Invercargill.
The array of vintage cars, trucks, tractors, buses and even miscellaneous vintage engines, prime movers would blow your mind. This private collection should possibly be one of the largest in the world.
Starting with the Ford models that are arranged in chronological order, to the retro ice cream trucks, vehicles used for farming, World War era vehicles, old school buses etc you have pretty much everything a vintage automobile lover would like to see. They even have a number of petrol pumps and other accessories like wheel caps, logos, insignias etc.
Every single vehicle is meticulously cleaned, they just shine so nicely! I can see the effort put into maintaining such a large collection of vehicles - which is commendable.
They have a good gift shop and a very nice cafe, where the tables are made from dance floor boards. Nice coffee and a decent selection of food and cakes.
This is an amazing place and you will marvel at the effort taken to build and maintain a place such as this!

We did an impromptu visit to Bill Richardson’s Transport World while killing time for our flight. It’s a mammoth warehouse of a building, housing an extensive collection of lovingly restored vehicles; everything from vintage Fords (models A through T) to paddy wagons and pedal cars. Petrolheads must love nerding out here. Unexpectedly, the upper floors have Kiwiana collections such as Wearable Art and a New Zealand tea towel display. I was sorry we couldn’t spend another hour here.
We were recommended to come here by a local we met on our travels. It is a hardware and homeware store, where there are classic motorcycles and cars scattered throughout the store. You can see the original "The World's Fastest Indian" bike here. All FREE, although you can always buy something

E.Hays & Sons is one of the coolest stores you will ever visit. Home to the original "Burt Munro Fastest Indian motorcycle" along with other amazing related items from bikes to cars, this shop has everything you can think off.

Queens Park in Invercargill is a sprawling urban park spanning an area of 81 hectares, offering a wide range of recreational activities for visitors. The park features an 18-hole golf course and aviary, along with a botanical garden and fitness trail. It also boasts winter gardens, frisbee golf course, kids playgrounds, animal enclosures and peaceful corners perfect for picnics.
An autumn visit when gardens generally are not at their best makes no difference here as there is so much variety. Do make time to see the Winter Garden, the colours and plants as well as the fish pond are amazing.
Jonathan Hendricks — Google review
OMG this is an awesome park we just chanced upon it after dinner it was late but its summer so its bright. So many themes within the park and so well taken cared of. They're on aviary (unfortunate closed when we were there) and some animals (fenced). Beautify and the rose garden was spectacular!

I love Queens park there is so much to see and do. We do a regular wander through the birds and animals to the playground then off to see the ducks . The park is well maintained and typically clean. A great space for events and family outings. Kids love the playground although the water features can be hard work with a toddler to keep out of the water . I really like that the animal park is free to view any time even if they look a bit sad a lot. A must see if you are ever in Invercargill.

Beautiful park, perfect place to spend a few hours on a nice afternoon. It seemed like there was something for everyone, from a frisbee golf course to a real golf course (isn't that dangerous?!) to an exercise track to winter gardens... it goes on and on.
The lake is a perfect place for kids to feed a ton of ducks, but keep in mind that bread isn't great for them - try frozen peas instead!
Even with everything going on, there were lots of quiet, peaceful corners perfect for a relaxed picnic in the heart of the city.

Such a weird but awesome place.
Takes about 90 minutes time to see it all. And there is so much to see.
Amazing sense for details, all the old things, pictures, mannequins, skeletons.
The "hospital" and church freaked me out.
Definitely worth spending time here to see all this interesting stuff.
The place also works as a small farm with lots of animals.
Maybe the weirdest place I've ever seen, thanks!

Bora Bora — Google review
Well this has been for sure one of the strangest experiences while travelling a new zeland for both me and my girlfriend.
Lets start with the entrance. The place is easy to find and you will just about 100 metres on a gravel road before reaching the venue. We were greeted by couple of ducks and chicks driving through the “town” to get to second carpark as in the primary one there is a space for about 6 cars.
The venue itself. Well lets just say its… bizzar at least. ITs a mixture of old and forgottwn stuff such as tools, toys, manequines (which make the whole experience VERY creepy) and nature. There is a LOT to see. We spent here about 2 hours going thoroughly through the whole “village”. There are sheds, remmnants of the days past, there is a car, there is a canon… whatever you can think of really and running amongst it, hundreds of ducks, chickens and geese.
What an experience it is. There is also shop, so some of the stuff is for sale. It took the owner to build it as it is for nearly 2 decades.
So mixed feelings. Especially on a cloudy day is kinda scary experience. But one I wont forget.

Very large set up. A lot of time and thought has clearly gone in to each and every section. It takes you ages to walk around everywhere which is good! Huge area at the end where you can look at all the windows doors and fittings they have available to purchase from demolition Jobs. My partner and I liked the zen hutt the most as it was minimal and peaceful. The water wheels were also a highlight as was the birdlife that you walk through during your time looking and exploring. Well worth the stop.

Well done sculpture and tribute to racing legend Burt Monroe. Free, easy to park and enjoy.

The sculpture is a tribute to Burt Munro. This beautiful bronze statue features Burt Munro riding a 1920 Indian motorcycle. The statue is 4.5 meters tall and black in color. Right beside the statue, there is information about Burt Munro engraved on the stone.
You can also visit the local department store E Hayes & Sons which is closeby and now home to Burt's World's Fastest Indian.
They get up to 10,000 visitors a year just coming to the store to see the Indian on display. It's 100 percent free for anybody to just walk into the store as a normal shopper would and walk around and see the Indian and all the other memorabilia that have in store of Burt Munro.

The Invercargill Water Tower, an iconic and picturesque red-brick structure built in 1889, stands tall at a height of 31.5 meters. Once accessible for a fee, visitors were able to walk around the top of the tower, but unfortunately it is no longer open to the public. Nevertheless, it remains a remarkable piece of engineering and building that holds great historical significance for the town of Invercargill.
Iconic piece of Invercargill history. I remember the pride my uncles had scaffolding it when I was young. Have been lucky to be around long enough to remember walking up all those steps spiraling to the top.
Belinda Pikia — Google review
Invercargill is built on almost entirely flat land. A major landmark in Invercargill, is the Water Tower which was built in 1889.
It was built to support the city’s first high-pressure water supply tank. It was designed by consulting engineer William Sharp, and built by Matthew and Hugh Mair.
Water towers are located on high ground to provide enough pressure to send water into a municipal water supply with enough force to supply all the customers in the immediate vicinity.
It comprises 300,000 bricks and is 42.6 metres high landmark . New Zealand suffered many great fires.
In the late 1880s the Invercargill Borough Council decided to build a water tower on part of the green belt.
Ratepayers wanted the tower but not an eye-sore on the town belt, architect-engineer William Sharp suggested blunting criticism by disguising the 300,000-litre steel tank with an elaborate brick tower.
Earthquakes don't kill but buildings do.
The building has been declared a 'earthquake-prone' hazard which constitutes a major risk to public safety and infrastructure. It includes a threat to the continuous operation of the city's main pump station.
Both the Water Tower and the control building are category one historic buildings, and at the moment have a rating of 25 percent of the national building standard.
The council basically don't want to pay to fix it because it will cost ($) millions to strengthen it.
It is ready to fall down in the next big magnitude earthquake.
In the last 12 million years the Southern Alps have been uplifted by an amazing 20 kilometres! The Alpine Fault has ruptured four times in the past 900 years.

While there's no more public access, it is still there in all of its historical glory, especially when lit up at night. Hopefully by "re-opening" this spot as a landmark means people will still find it and come to gaze and sit on the grass in front

I visited this church not long after visiting Istanbul and noticed its similarity to Sancta Sophia there. We had to ask for a key to see the interior so I asked the priest about it.

This grand building from the outside offers the promise of great things inside, well sorry the inside is very bland and contains little of the greatness that the outside radiates. Inside it is quite modern, with some interesting 3D pictures of Christian parts of the bible, and one stained glass window of any significance. A little bit of plasterwork around the inside of the dome, bit nothing you can't get at a DIY store. If you are in the area, have a look at the outside but then move on, more interesting things to do.

Lovely and very impressive building, can sometimes be occupied by children from the neighboring school St Joseph's but they are usually very well behaved and the teachers usually seem to have everything under control.
It's definitely happening, although it's a very small market, there are a lot of customers.
There are about 15 food stalls, 5 craft stalls, a veggie seller, a plant seller, honey stall, etc.
They have live music too.
The bun and siumay is the highlight, the garlic chilli sauce was so good.

Such a cool little market on Sunday in Invercargill. We bought oyster mushrooms and the kids had cookies and cupcakes. Also, the japanese curry on rice is so worth it!! $7 is affordable and delicious! We bought 3 containers and had 3 cups of karaage chicken, $6 a cup. Theres a milk tea and egg waffle store too and sold the best egg waffles we have had in awhile. It was so scrumptious! For $9 we had a huge egg waffle with loads of ice cream in the middle. The kids were definitely happy about this dessert. Milk tea was a bit too sweet. Next time we will ask to reduce the sugar content. We will return the next time we are in Invercargill.

Invercargills memorial to our fallen in conflicts overseas. A special plaque to Sgt Richard Travis VC who was a Southland Company soldier in the Great War who preformed some absolutely heroic acts before being killed in northern France. Look up his story. Behind the monument are two other statues, Lord Jellico and Kitchener of Khartoum. Look them up also when you have a chance.

Rugby Park is a delightful place to visit for rugby enthusiasts. It boasts an impressive setting with a charming dog wandering nearby, alongside a small flowing stream and railway tracks that see trains passing throughout the day. Currently, it is adorned with beautiful pink flowers on the trees, making it even more enchanting. The stadium offers an ideal opportunity to take leisurely walks in the morning. For avid fans of rugby, this venue is perfect to quench their thirst for the sport.
Grounds are always kept tidy, proper signage up for rules or directions. Every event here has always been a lot of fun.

Go the Stags! Terrance all the way. It's basic but it works and that's what's so great about it.

Park looked great, sitting in the sun watching rugby, great grass surface. Pity we lost.
