Museum Fun Day

In lieu of the Museum’s large-scale Waitangi Day Commemorations which have been cancelled this year, Okains Bay Museum will be hosting a smaller-scale Museum Fun Day.

A selection of our most popular museum-based activities will be featured including blacksmithing, printing, cocksfooting and weaving demonstrations, family games and activities. We'll also be introducing the world's first Croqkains Tournament – Mini-golf style croquet with obstacles and crazy challenges Okains Bay Museum-style.

Join us for a fun day of mini-events and see first-hand some of the museum’s extensive collection of heritage equipment put to work as they were in the past.

Please note: this is not our traditional Waitangi Day event and therefore will be no official commemorations, powhiri, hangi or waka on the river.

Vaccine Passports, mask-wearing and physical distancing are required. Covid Red Alert Level capacity restrictions apply.
