Shantytown Heritage Park
Experience the Real West Coast: Gold, Timber, Steam & Grit – All in One Visit!
Step into a 19th‑century West Coast pioneer town, ride a heritage train, and pan real gold in as little as 90 minutes.
This isn’t a glossy theme park. Uncover the real story of environmental destruction, extraction, adaptation, and regeneration that has shaped the West Coast. Meet New Zealand’s ‘Pioneers by Nature’ – resourceful, a little mad, and relentlessly determined!
