As you will expect, we’ll be implementing a lot of procedures to keep you, our communities and our people safe. We have introduced contact tracing, increased cleaning, hand sanitisers and ways to help with social distancing.
We're also excited to announce that the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition will be open, as we’ve been able to extend it for a limited time. Weird and Wonderful, the Volcanoes Gallery and the Kai Room, unfortunately, won’t be opening for the time being as they are high touch spaces.
Please take a quick look at our website before you visit to help plan your trip.
See you soon!
With all our free time recently, people have been much more
active and of course our dogs (being our best friends) love to
join us for the jogs and long walks.
But old age can slow our dogs down and often they struggle to

active and of course our dogs (being our best friends) love to
join us for the jogs and long walks.
But old age can slow our dogs down and often they struggle to
keep up due to muscle stiffness, arthritis and/or joint pain.
The ideal solution is to offer your dog (or cat) a natural product
that is proven to be effective, safe and non-toxic.
Now available in New Zealand Active Again (from Hope
Science USA) is a blend of natural food oils (rice bran) available
in soft gel capsules. Now available with FREE delivery nationwide.
The oils assist in lubricating cell membranes and restoring
the fluids that cushion bones promoting greater flexibility and
mobility.
Tried and tested by local veterinarians, Active Again is being
widely received as an excellent cost effective solution.
Up to 3 months supply in one bottle.

Testimonial:
"We got these for my husband's dog – a Lab Pointer cross just before duck shooting last year – I gave her four a day for a couple of days – unbelievably it made an instant difference – she was more bouncier and back to her old self – she was a better dog at duck shooting – more energetic - Great product - very happy.

Ingredients
220gm caster sugar
220gm butter
Zest of 1 lemon or Lime or both
300ml (about 6 lemons and or Limes)
6 eggs beaten lightly with a whisk
Method
Place sugar, butter, lemon zest and juice in a heat resistant bowl and place over a pot of water on medium heat (like a double boiler)
Heat and stir with a wooden spoon till butter has melted. Take off heat and strain eggs into mixture.
Return to heat with a thermometer attached and cook, stirring constantly, until temperature reaches 75 deg C.
If you don’t have a temperature gauge cook through until mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Remove from the heat and stir to prevent mixture overheating at base and egg from curdling.
Pour into hot sterilized jars while still hot or enjoy straight away, adding the curd to your favourite dessert or ice cream or morning tea treat or on toast or in a banana smoothie and so on.
You can get creative with this tasty treat.
Bon appetite

Health and Safety
Health and safety is the top priority and the lessons will run practicing physical distancing from one another.
