How did children entertain themselves before the internet, before TV, before electricity? Visit Totoranui and discover some rainy day activities then head into the museum and explore our collection of Toys and Games from 1900.

Join us at Te Manawa these school holidays for two weeks of hands-on fun, creativity, and discovery for all ages.

Drop in and explore a range of activities across the museum—just bring a gold coin donation to take part. No bookings required.

Open every day (except Matariki) during the school holidays, Winter at Te Manawa is the perfect place to play, learn, and spend time together.
