Auckland Museum and Watercare are joining forces to bring you a fun, interactive pop-up experience that explores the Watercare Central Interceptor project, the largest wastewater tunnel project in New Zealand, and the incredible fossils uncovered during its construction.

What lies beneath the surface of Tāmaki Makaurau? Step into a world where ancient history meets modern engineering. Through interactive touchscreen games, virtual reality experiences, and engaging activities, you’ll get hands-on with fascinating fossilised creatures, learn how tunnels are built, and discover why this massive infrastructure project is so important to the future of our city.

Whether you're a budding palaeontologist, a future engineer, or simply curious, there's something for explorers of all ages.
