Faraday Museum of Technology

Excellent Museum, you could play with old dial phone, vacuum transport token, spring transport token system. You could touch and play with the display item.Don't miss the life experience of Nikola Tesla's Tesla Coil. It's amazing.A nice place to spend 2-3 hours.The Museum is running by a group of volunteers, no support from Council or government.

Highly recommended! A great treat for the family. This is a HANDS ON museum which makes it pure joy for kids of all ages. This is small but the staff engagement and ability to touch things makes it the best old fashioned musseum I've seen in New Zealand, far better than the similar old fashion area at Auckland 's MOTAT. It is very economic for a family of 5 and you could easily spend half a day here. My 3 children are aged 6 to 11 and all loved it (this rarely happens as there is always 1 that disagrees). They had a tesla coil, the tardis, engines, old vehicles (that you can sit on), old wood work tools, musical instruments, old communication boards, traffic light systems, old shops, toys, and so much more. A must see for the family in napier!

Brilliant! So interactive and some incredible pieces. Such a great experience and so worth the $9.50!

Awesome educational experience for the family with Tesla coil shows, technology stuffs and lots more

An amazing place to visit with your family...very hands on and wonderful volunteers to help. Loved it.

This is a favourite place to take the kids. We live in Hawkes Bay and go a lot but still never gets boring. The volunteers are always so helpful and knowledgeable. We love that the kids get to touch mostly everything. The Tesla coil is also a fun thing to watch if you are lucky enough to be there when they start it up.

An amazing collection of interesting things. Highly interactive and fun for everyone of all ages. Loved the tractor ride. This place is a real treasure of Napier.

Love this place with always something interesting to see. You have to check the times they are open though as that could catch you out, but times are easy to find. It’s a pity more people don’t know about it, very easy to just lose an hour or so having a look at all the old stuff and how it all works.

A very interactive little museum made for all ages. You can touch and play with a lot of the artefacts on display. Plenty of vintage gear like dial up phones, a working Tesla coil, pinball machine amongst other small things. Not as big as motat but for the price you could easily spend a good 45 mins there.
