Kids' Own

Kids’ Own is Te Manawa’s special area just for kids up to the age of seven. This is a bright and safe space for children to learn about their world through play and exploration.

Hands-on exhibits teach children about plants and creatures in the natural world, the different foods they eat, the homes they live in and much more – all while having fun!

There’s loads to do at Kids’ Own: play games, dress up, read a book, look through a microscope, explore a secret passage, build a wall and compare today’s household objects with those from the past.

Kids’ Own is a home from home just for the children!
