Well worth the visit

3 elderly ladies with limited mobility and one chauffeurse from Age Concern Whangarei, came to see the Packard Museum. What a lot of memories and stories from the past were brought to mind as we viewed the cars and machinery. Really enjoyed this museum. We know very little about cars and machinery but we surely enjoyed our visit. Mel was particularly kind and gave very interesting information. We would recommend anybody going out to see this collection. I didn't know if it was worth visiting, but it certainly was. There's a huge collection to see. A fantastic place for everyone to go to. Thanks a million, Mel; you made our day! My 3 ladies were buzzing with the excitement of their visit!

Hi Elizabeth, thank you for the review. I did hear the Ladies talking about the vehicles they recognised and it was quite amazing to me, the details they remembered. For many it is definitely a walk through our past and certain can bring back forgotten memories. I'm glad you all enjoyed the visit. See you again one day. Mel. (Packard Motor Museum)

Well worth a visit

We visited Whangarei and stopped by this museum on the way, and it turned out to exceed our expectations. The museum’s collection was impressive, and the owner was a very nice person, we had good chat with him. Before leave, the owner even invited us to sit in his vintage car and gave us a guide about that place. It was truly beyond what we had anticipated.

Hi Christine, Thank you or your review. Agree with you 100%. It is a fantastic place to visit , yes, you are correct, it is a lot bigger and a lot more varied than most think or believe. Not lying when we say " 5 Very Full Sheds with memories and treasures galore". Borrowing your words "And a lot more than just cars". At times it is hard to describe. I shall pass on your comment to the staff, they will appreciate that. Once again thank you and don't be afraid to re-visit in the future.
