Pahiatua Main Street
This leafy tree-lined street is packed with shops; most charming is the long strip of spacious garden.
Tui Brewery
Stop in for a meal, beer or tour in Mangatainoka, north of Pahiatua. Between the tours, tastings and tap room there is also a small museum and a shop packed with Tui gear.
Pahiatua & Districts Museum
This details the history of the Polish children who arrived in New Zealand following WWII, amongst other stories from the area. Open Sundays 2-4pm.
Harvard Plane
This canary-yellow aeroplane circled the skies during WWII but has since been converted into a unique playground slide.
Timeless Horse Treks
Down by the Manawatū River, take your pick from daily horse rides, overnight treks and trots on horse-drawn wagons. Twenty minutes from central Pahiatua.
Pahiatua Trout Fishing Carnival
With six rivers surrounding town, this annual festival makes a lot of sense; every Labour Weekend.
The Yellow Plane Gallery
Owned by three local artists on Main Street, with an interesting selection of locally made crafts to buy.
