Embark on Mission 2 Wigram, a space-themed holiday adventure for tamariki aged 5 to 12. This two-week programme runs from 22-26 September and 29 September -3 October 2025.
Our daily schedule is packed with excitement and learning. In the mornings, children apply their imaginations to make out-of-this-world creations. Afternoons are for hands-on science experiments and exploring the museum on special missions. The day includes warm-up games and free-play time to relax and have fun.
