With a rich cultural and sporting pedigree, there's always something to do in Palmerston North. A must-see for NZ tourists is the interactive exhibits at the Te Manawa museum of science, art and history. To see the largest collection of rugby memorabilia and records in NZ, tourists had better check out the New Zealand Rugby Museum, set to be expanded ahead of the Rugby World Cup.
