The Caterpillar Experience

The Caterpillar Experience

A hard life, a good life, life in the bush … step back in time and explore a fascinating slice of New Zealand’s pioneering history.  Storyboards, images and archival movies recount extraordinary tales from our rural past.  Discover how this young country has been shaped and the significant role of Caterpillar® machinery.  Recreated natural settings exhibit an outstanding private collection of restored antique bulldozers and vintage vehicles.


Awe-inspiring – the indoor attraction is a must see for all ages.  Self-guided tour at leisure, no prior booking required, allow at least one hour.  Facility is wheelchair friendly. Browse the retail store for some unique gifts.  The shop stocks a large range of genuine Caterpillar® merchandise for adults and children.  A selection of popular heritage machinery books also available.  Items can be shipped worldwide or purchased on-line. Bring along a picnic – however, be prepared to drag the youngsters out of the sandpit when you leave!  Striking function venue, ideal to host small or large groups for informal after hours occasions.
