Ferrymead Heritage Park

Ferrymead Heritage Park exhibits a reconstructed Edwardian township with restored cottages, a schoolhouse, a church, and period-accurate businesses from the 1900s.

The park stands where New Zealand's first railway line connected Ferrymead to central Christchurch in 1863, marking a significant transportation advancement.

Individual societies maintain and display heritage collections of tractors, fire engines, planes, trams, trains, cars, printing equipment, and telegraph systems.

The park welcomes visitors daily from 10:00 AM to 4:30 PM, with special steam train operations occurring on the first Sunday of each month.

Visitors experience transportation heritage through functioning tram services that operate during weekends and school holidays throughout the park grounds.
