Bug Lab Auckland

Phil Goff from Phil Goff

Bug Lab Auckland is the brilliant new exhibition at Auckland Zoo, which I officially opened yesterday. Developed by Te Papa and Weta Workshop, it took six months and over 40,000 hours to design. I highly recommend checking it out this summer - it's great for kids, but adults will love it too. … View moreBug Lab Auckland is the brilliant new exhibition at Auckland Zoo, which I officially opened yesterday. Developed by Te Papa and Weta Workshop, it took six months and over 40,000 hours to design. I highly recommend checking it out this summer - it's great for kids, but adults will love it too. It's your last chance to see it in New Zealand for the foreseeable future as the exhibition is heading overseas in the New Year.

Check out the video below for a sneak peak, including a live wētāpunga - New Zealand's endangered Giant Weta.
