WestCity Waitakere FREE school holiday programme: Environmental Explorers

WestCity Waitakere

Join us for week 2 of school holiday fun! We’re partnering with MPHS Vision / Twin Streams Oratia and Opanuku so children can explore our local environment and learn while they’re having fun!

Kids will test the local water from our streams, check contamination levels and learn about what that means for the environment. This educational activity includes an information exhibition focusing on the different streams, insects and bugs that surround Henderson and the Waitakere Ranges.

Children will enjoy viewing the bug display and learning about the different leaves each insect likes to eat. They can create their own native clay animals dressed in leaves plus their own mini stream to take home. Bookings will be taken on the day.

WestCity Waitakere is the place to be these school holidays, so come join in the fun with our FREE and EDUCATIONAL kids activities this July!

Where: WestCity Waitakere
Activities take place next to Stirling Sports on level 2
