The NZ Caterpillar Experience

Not just a load of old bulldozers...!

The world's first display of vintage Caterpillar machinery, innovatively staged in recreated native bush settings. This breathtaking indoor experience fascinates all ages. Follow the
stories of our pioneering past, how the brave families who, together with machinery, helped
shape our rugged landscape from the late 1800's through to today. Captivating archival films
and interpretation boards take you back in time as you relive this by-gone era.

Share the passion of a remarkable New Zealander, who has preserved a wide range of old
earthmoving equipment. Over 30 of these relics have been restored and exhibited
showcasing their significant contribution to our country's rural history.

Bring along a picnic or pause for a coffee and browse the retail store for geniune Caterpillar
gifts from caps and T-shirts to socks and children's toys.
