Meanwhile, life-like replicas of fighting planes trace the history of New Zealand's Air Force at the Air Force Museum. A horse-drawn carriage ride awaits in a recreated Edwardian township at the Ferrymead Heritage Park. The Christchurch experience is complete with a historic tram ride, and punting on the Avon River.
