Looking for something to do with the kids that's free, low-key, and good fun? The 2026 Kiwi Conservation Club Open Day is coming to the Gallery on Sunday 13 September, from 10am to 2pm.
We’re hosting a hands-on day of nature and art for curious kids aged 5–13, and it's completely drop-in. Turn up when it suits! You can stay for 40 minutes or the full four hours, just whatever works for your whānau.
What's on:
Getting up close with nature by building your own bug viewer
Nature-inspired art and crafts
Drawing your favourite creatures
A quiet space with a nature film, plus the Bird Land exhibition and Trail to explore
Activities run as short sessions of 10 to 30 minutes on a simple timetable. Spaces are limited and first come, first served, so a bit of flexibility helps

These Year 6 students at Bishopdale Primary School have knocked it out of the park with their AMAZING glitter artworks from our new ART-TASTIC activity book.
