Te Papa is the place to send the kids these school holidays. Events for tamariki ages 3–12 years are free! Tamariki take their toys, tutus, and more to Te Papa these school holidays! These school holidays, let Te Papa take the hassle out of your planning with a magical array of enchanting events, immersive exhibitions, and delicious café treats. From the weird and wonderful creatures in our Te Taiao | Nature exhibition to the Royal New Zealand Ballet’s dancing fairies in their performance of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, there's something to inspire and delight every young explorer. With six floors packed full of interactive exhibitions, your tamariki can spend the day learning, playing, and creating unforgettable memories. When it's time to refuel, our two cafés offer a scrumptious selection of kids’ snacks to keep them energized. From toy swaps to clay workshops, visit our website to plan your adventure—there’s something for every kind of learner. Book early as some events require reservations. Entry to Te Papa is free for New Zealanders. More details can be found at tepapa.nz/schoolholidays and our monthly e-newsletter – sign up here.
