Join the WestCity Explorers for an action packed July school holiday programme!
The WestCity Explorers will host a nature-themed educational school holiday programme from 9th – 20th July (10am – 2pm on weekdays only). Bookings will be taken on the day. All activities will take place on Level 2 next to Stirling Sports.
Week 1: Pets and Exotic Animal Experience
Take a trip through the animal kingdom from invertebrates through to fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals, all with real 'live' representatives. Children will learn about animal survival strategies while interacting with guinea pigs, chinchillas, rabbits, leopard geckos, bearded dragons, blue tongue lizards, water dragons, tortoises, turtles and more.
Pet activity only suitable for children aged 5+, craft activity available for younger children.
Week 2: Environmental Explorers
We’re partnering with MPHS Vision/Twin Streams Oratia and Opanuku so children can explore our local environment and learn while they’re having fun!
Kids will test the local water from our streams, check contamination levels and learn about what that means for the environment. This educational activity includes an information exhibition focusing on the different streams, insects and bugs that surround Henderson and the Waitakere Ranges.
Children will enjoy viewing the bug display and learning about the different leaves each insect likes to eat. They can create their own native clay animals dressed in leaves plus their own mini stream to take home.
WestCity Waitakere is the place to be these school holidays, so come join in the fun with our FREE and EDUCATIONAL kids activities this July!
