Bring the whole whānau for an action-packed day at Puke Ariki as we celebrate the opening of our summer blockbuster Rescue.
Every day, rescue teams around the world risk their lives to save others. But what does a real emergency involve and how would you respond?
Rescue plunges you into the thrilling world of emergency response. Climb, crawl and explore full-body interactive exhibits as you discover the technology, teamwork and quick thinking needed to save lives on land, at sea and in the air.
Pilot a helicopter in a search-and-rescue mission, navigate jet skis around obstacles and crawl through a smoke-filled room.
Rescue encourages teamwork, STEM learning and real-world preparedness. Whether you dream of heroic deeds or are curious about the science behind survival, this exhibition puts you at the centre of the action.
Join us and our local firefighters on the opening day of Rescue for the opportunity to get fire wise! Learn about the dangers of fire, how to prevent them, and what to do if there is a fire in your room.
We look forward to seeing you there!
