-- About this video --

Today we are in Nelson city and we have been recommended to visit the cheap and cheerful Founders Heritage Park in Nelson. It’s only around NZ$7 to visit, so why not?!

Founders Park in Nelson is set up like an old European settler town from around 100 years ago in New Zealand. We enter under a giant windmill and see mock-up houses of early New Zealand settlers. There are phone booths to use, old printing houses and a general store made showing old New Zealand items. We are then surprised to see a real bakery inside the mock bakery. There are real businesses operating in Founders Heritage Park in Nelson! We get ourselves some cookies from Ruk n’ Co and continue exploring Founders Park.

Fire station, hospital, bus station: it’s all here! After visiting a mini museum about New Zealand breweries, we find a real life brewery at Founders Brewery. We get ourselves an affordable and generous tasting tray to try some New Zealand craft beer at Founders Brewery. 

Before we leave Founders Park we have to check out the giant airplane which you can explore the inside of. 

So what do you think of Founders Heritage Park in Nelson and Founders Brewery? Would you add Founders Park and Founders Brewery to your New Zealand bucket list?
