Somewhere in this museum, a giant penguin is waiting to be reassembled.
Nine bones from the Kaawhia Giant Penguin Fossil are hidden across the galleries of Te Whare Taonga o Waikato. Your job is to find every last one.
Pick up your free activity sheet from the front desk when you arrive. Work your way through the museum, explore the galleries, and see if you can locate all nine bones before you leave.
This is a self-led activity, so you can take it at your own pace. Perfect for tamariki, whaanau, and anyone who likes an excuse to look a little more closely at everything around them.
Once you've collected all the bones, check in with our kaimahi at the front desk to get your official "fossil finders" membership card.
