This family's experience:

Activities: We visited the MTG Hawke’s Bay museum, which has different exhibitions, including a basement dedicated to the great earthquake of 1931 and a temporary exhibition on the old marine animal basins that were on the pier until the early 2000s. The children weren't forgotten, with a treasure hunt and various workshops

Highlights: The treasure hunt and different workshops spread throughout the building were a hit. The children really enjoyed them, it was fun for everyone ✨
