Lakes District Museum & Gallery

Probably the best thing to do in Arrowtown. Always interesting to find out about the history of these bygone, historic towns and their early settlers.

There is a gold panning experience that I really wanted to do, but the timing didn't work with our bike ride tour thing. The rest of the museum is small, but informative. The building used to be the bank. There are two free activities for kids that my 8 and 12 year old enjoyed.

This museum is well worth the visit. I popped in as it was a rainy day and was looking for a little reprieve from the weather. This is by far one of my favourite historical museums. The exhibits were well set up and purposeful, not simply displaying artefacts or cramming things in. The information was interesting and there were fun activities to get the kids involved. Every corner I turned, I was amazed by the thought and consideration taken in the exhibits. Well worth the visit.

What an experience! This museum seems small from the outside, but goes on and on within! Such a rich collection of information and history. We could have spent twice as long here, soaking it all up. There was a lot to read, and my children loved the displays that demonstrated early life in Arrowtown. They were absolutely delighted with the old toilet 😆 Highly recommend stopping in and taking your time. What an incredible collection!

Best (little) museum I’ve been to. Far better than some bigger museums. It was very revealing on how medical was conducted back in history and how they churned butter etc. there was so many elements to the museum which was eye opening. I would recommend viewing the museum when in town it’s about $14 for adult or $10 as a student. It is 2 stories with wheelchair access to the bottom - user friendly!
