Urban Nature Activities at Te Papa

Come along to Te Papa for lots of fun nature activities designed for the city with author Rachel Haydon (The Urban Activity Book)

To celebrate the launch of The Urban Activity Book, author Rachel Haydon invites all ages to discover nature in everyday urban environments in new ways by exploring the harbourfront around Te Papa with activities from the new book. Rachel will be on hand for ideas and inspiration. In case of bad weather, activities will be held indoors. Turn up when suits but allow around an hour. Hand in your completed activities for a chance to win a trilogy of activity books (Nature, Beach and Urban)!

Health & Safety

A volunteer from Te Papa Press will be present during the event. Please contact the event host for more health & safety information.
