September Holiday Experience

These school holidays, discover the fun of friction with hands-on activities that turn everyday physics into playful discovery.

Build a ramp from textured pieces and race a car or marble. In the Glide Zone, take a turn on the air hockey table and feel the difference friction makes to the movement of the puck.

See friction make art on the spinning bikes, design and test your own aircraft prototype in a vertical wind tube and explore how shape, weight, surface area and drag affect flight.

Get hands-on with rope, thread, string and yarn, trying your hand at knot-making and feeling how different materials grip and hold.

Plus so much more! Bring the whānau and enjoy a fun, hands-on exploration of the science of friction these school holidays.

Included in General Admission.
