Sights in Wanaka Region

  1. New Zealand Fighter Pilots Museum

    The poignant and interesting New Zealand Fighter Pilots Museum is dedicated to NZ combat pilots, the aircraft they flew and the sacrifices they made. There is a well-preserved collection of Hawker Hurricanes, de Havilland Vampires and vintage Soviet fighter planes, and at the time of research plans were under way for a major expansion of the collection and facilities.

  2. Wanaka Transport & Toy Museum

    Wanaka Transport & Toy Museum is the end result of one man’s obsessive collecting. Among the 40,000 items, watch for a Cadillac Coupe de Ville, a mysteriously acquired MiG jet fighter, and toys that you’re guaranteed to remember with a wry smile from rainy childhood afternoons.

  3. Puzzling World

    Puzzling World has a 3-D Great Maze and lots of ‘now-you-see-it, now-you-don’t’ visual tomfoolery to keep kids of all ages bemused, bothered and bewildered. It’s en route to Cromwell, 2km from town.
