Otago Museum

Otago Museum has a range of programmes running throughout the school holidays to entertain and excite all ages. Try your skills at capturing the perfect front-page image in our Focal Point Photo Challenge competition, or take an amazing adventure to learn about new cultures and places with the global race trail.

Learn all about the sun and the importance of sun protection as well as the science behind freezing in our Freaky Science Shows. The Tropical Forest gets wet these holidays with a special demonstration focussing on monsoons and how to take shelter from a real rainstorm. Prepare for Christmas with Discovery Squad in December and then join us again in January to explore all that summer has to offer.
