Ignite young imaginations
Explore the Gallery with the family
Bring the tamariki and begin your adventure discovering artworks, get involved with some intergenerational art-making together at free Whānau drop-ins, enjoy storytelling sessions, or set off around Gallery spaces with one of our free Gallery Games. The Gallery is full of secret spots and discoveries, just waiting for you to uncover.
Be sure to check out the Gallery's Creative Learning Centre — an immersive, family-friendly space located on the mezzanine level.
When you’re ready for a break, take a wander through neighbouring Albert Park, or refuel in our café with snacks and meals available. If you prefer, bring your own food to enjoy in our amphitheatre.
