Air Playground
Wednesday 15th April
5.30 -7.30pm
If you have not had the chance to explore this extravaganza of science, activity and fun this is an exclusive offer free to Friends to explore with your children and grandchildren "AIR PLAYGROUND". Actually all ages will get a lot out of this exhibition which explores that element most important to our very existence.
Normally the cost would be $65.00 for a family pass but in this case the opportunity to explore will be FREE to members of the Friends. We do request that you book as numbers are definitely limited.
To book please email Friends' Committee member Jenny at jnewbyfraser@outlook.co.nz. For this event to go ahead we need a minimum of 20 participants. Please meet in the Museum foyer at 5.20pm.
