Fun free things to do school holidays, visit the Museum!

Auckland Museum

Remember the days before GPS and Google Maps?

This summer we’re encouraging families who visit the museum to join the ranks of great historical navigators with our free activity Quest of the Navigators.

Using a special map, you can follow our clues to discover what skills, tools and knowledge was used in the pre-digital age, which will help you explore the Museum’s galleries in a fun and interactive way.

Stay the course and you’ll go into the draw to win a special prize pack from the Museum shop!

Collect your map from the information desks in the Grand Foyer of the Museum.

Say goodbye to tyre waste

Tyrewise

About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.

The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.

Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.

Find out more about the scheme online.
