The Caterpillar Experience is excellent for Education Outside The Classroom (EOTC) day trips. Children of all ages can learn about New Zealand’s pioneering history and see huge earthmoving machines up close. An exciting and interesting all-weather destination.
Our facilities include a large outdoor picnic area, machines that children can climb on and a play area. We have an educational activity sheet and risk analysis information available to help make sure children are kept safe during their visit.
For older students, the Caterpillar® story provides an excellent case study for business studies and New Zealand history.
We can offer guided tours, provide worksheets and special rates for school groups on request. Children under the age of 5 years require a high ratio of parental supervison. Plenty of parking for coaches. We are also a wheelchair friendly facility.
