Plenty of school holiday fun at Auckland Museum

The Team from Auckland Museum

This summer, head to the Museum for an exciting line-up of LEGO® activities for the whole family!

Brickman Awesome: Epic LEGO® Brick Creations is on now, featuring 37 incredible LEGO® brick models and five building stations. The Brick Room is also open, where kids can spend an hour building with thousands of LEGO® bricks for just $5 per child.

If you’re in the mood to explore, pick up a free trail map from the South Atrium and hunt for LEGO® models masquerading as Museum objects on our Brickman Awesome Treasure Hunt. Finally, entries for our Museum LEGO® Master Builder Competition are open, so get building at home and submit a photo of your Aotearoa-inspired creation!

Say goodbye to tyre waste

Tyrewise

About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.

The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.

Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.

Find out more about the scheme online.
