What it is

Honour New Zealand's heritage with your whānau at Auckland Museum this Anzac Day, where the entire museum opens free to visitors following the moving Dawn Service. Your family can enjoy beautiful choral performances, poetry readings, and guided tours that bring our nation's stories to life, plus explore fascinating exhibitions like Sharks throughout the day. It's a meaningful and enriching way to spend time together whilst reflecting on those who've served our country.

Where this fits

Every one of these is a list we keep for Auckland families.
