Summertime Family Adventure
‘Hunt for History Passport’ Challenge
Calling all young explorers! Get ready for an exciting adventure this summer with the ‘Central Otago in 100 Objects’ exhibition. Five museums across Central Otago have selected 20 amazing objects to create a fun heritage trail filled with fascinating stories from our past.

At each museum, you will dive into history with four fun activities – such as drawing, word games, and engaging questions to spark your curiosity! Collect stamps in your special passport to track your journey. If you collect stamps from at least two different museums, you could win a fantastic prize package!
