StoryPlace

Current programme: Dream it, Be it - Whakarehua, kia tina!

Explore a world of dragons, royalty, fairies, and pirates. We've set the scene for tamariki and their grown-ups to enjoy creative and imaginative play together, with costumes and crafts, puppets, and puzzles. We've got some special stories to share too!

StoryPlace is a space specially and exclusively for preschoolers and their caregivers. Here, toddlers can explore museum-related themes through play, games, storytelling, and song. Led by a friendly Te Papa Host.

Before purchasing your tickets please note the following:

• Babies are free of charge but still require a ticket.

• StoryPlace does not cater for children over the age of 5.

• All toddlers must be accompanied by their caregiver(s) for the duration of the session.
