Hands On Activities in Greymouth

Shantytown Heritage Park

Officially opened in 1971, the 19th-century recreated gold town is a delight for all. The steam train, old fashioned lolly shop, and gold panning are just some of the many activities on offer.

Barrytown Knife Making

Forge your own blade from red hot steel and complete your knife with a native timber handle, brass bolsters and pins. Other free activities include axe throwing, target practice and a huge swing. Toasted sandwiches are typically provided for lunch!
