Mini Factory Tour


- Durée: 25 Minutes (environ)

Experience a little taste of NZ's iconic Sugar Factory - our expert tour guide and train driver will take you around the Chelsea Sugar Factory site on the Chelsea Bay Train for a 25 minute ride.
You will get to see where the sugar ships dock at our wharf and the highlight of any tour...our wondrous sugar mountain!
Learn why we chose this site as NZ's only sugar factory, back in 1884.
