Free Christmas Crafts

SAT AND SUN, 10AM - 3PM
ORIENTATION SPACE, TE AO MARAMA SOUTH ATRIUM

Get your festive creativity flowing with our hands-on craft activity— decorate a wooden bauble to take home as a keepsake, or as a gift for someone special in your life.

We’ll provide all the materials, plus examples and inspiration, to help unleash your child’s inner artist, whatever their age.

Sounds of the Season

SATURDAYS AT 12PM - 12.30PM
GRAND FOYER

Join us midday on Saturdays for a festive musical treat when our majestic Grand Foyer is filled with beautiful song. 

Local choirs from Tāmaki Makaurau will perform seasonal classics, singalong carols, and favourites from their own songbooks.

Santa’s Mailbox

It’s not too late for your little (or not so little) ones to write their Santa wish lists and post them into the Museum's dedicated North Pole mailbox by the Christmas tree in the Grand Foyer.

Museum Christmas Tree

From Saturday 22 November, our stunning decorated tree will be on display in the Grand Foyer.
