Family Fun
Tūhura Otago Museum and the Entomological Society of New Zealand host a range of talks and activities celebrating bugs throughout the day. Learn about the insects, spiders, and other bugs that make up well over half of Aotearoa’s animal diversity.
Insects keep our birds and fish fed, our crops and flowers pollinated, our soils aerated, our waste decomposed, and our backyards buzzing. There will be games, gardening tips, and scientists on hand to answer your questions. Play our "Is it a bee?" game, visit the bee-feeding station, or get a face painted with your own little bug – there a plenty of activities to keep you entertained!
These free, family-friendly activities will engage, entertain and educate children on the amazing and diverse creatures on and under the soil. If you don’t already, this is your opportunity to fall in love with bugs!
