This weekend we will be celebrating the rising of Puanga and Matariki, one of the many tohu that marks our changing seasons. The Puawananga flower is another marker of seasonal change appearing in our gardens and native bush as winter comes to a close signaling the arrival of spring. Join us to create your own paper puawananga garland to welcome the approaching spring.
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.
