Karori Sanctuary Events Calendar

What’s on at Wellington’s world-first wildlife sanctuary this spring?

Sanctuary events are a fun way to find out about New Zealand’s native wildlife. Just five minutes drive or a short bus ride from central Wellington, Karori Sanctuary is a great place to learn & explore our natural world together as a family. Check out what’s on in September and October…

Hop To It: Freddo Native Frog Roadshow
Sat 22 – Wed 26 September, 11am - 2pm daily

Stuck for something to do with the kids this School Holidays? Why not hop along to the Sanctuary to meet Freddo and find out about New Zealand's native frogs?

New Zealand frogs are among the most endangered species in the world. They need all the help they can get, so Karori Sanctuary is partnering with Cadbury Freddo Frog to support and promote frog conservation.

Freddo will be at the Sanctuary from 11am - 2pm every day from Saturday 22 - Wednesday 26 September. Check out Freddo's Lily Pad, with fun, interactive activities such a listening station where you can hear what a frog sounds like, and a touch post to experience what a frog feels like.

Spider Day
Saturday 27 October. 10am-3pm

Come face-to-face with some of New Zealand’s native spiders (if you dare!)

Te Papa’s very own ‘Spiderman’ Phil Servid and Sanctuary staff will be introducing visitors to some of the many thousands of species of native spider as well as a few furry, fearsome foreigners!

Face-painting, sausage sizzle and prizes for the best-dressed ‘Spiderman’ (at 2pm). Free Explorer Packs for all kids who come in costume!

No need to book for either event. General admission applies. $10/adults. $4/children (5-16). $24/family (2 adults and up to 3 kids). Under-fives and members get in for FREE!

Please tell your colleagues, friends, family, whanau and neighbours about these exciting Sanctuary events!
