Canterbury Museum Discovery Area
Discovery, Canterbury Museum's natural
history centre for children, is bursting
with weird and wonderful things to
explore. Dig for fossils, and learn all
about our amazing world and the
creatures that share it.
Discovery is located on Level 3 of the
Museum.
No educator will be facilitating the session. Groups are self-driven.
You can visit other attractions in museum at your leisure. !
Spectrum St Art
The journey starts at
the YMCA with a
street art journey from one end of the
scale to the other;
from massive spray
cans to miniature
masterpieces, from
viral videos to stick-up
selfies and from
Banksy to The Bronx. Keep an eye out on the city streets for the
huge painted walls across the CBD. http://streetart.co.nz/spectrum/
There will be a guide to talk to you at Spectrum St Art as your group
has questions and would like further information.

information about our city?
There isn’t a guided tour or person to talk to your group but they do
know we will be popping in throughout the day. Please make sure you are considerate of other people.
