DISCOVER HIDDEN TREASURE AT MOTAT

Get the whole family along to MOTAT for an exciting new adventure at the new ‘Treasure Hunt Weekend Experience’.

Work as a team and follow the clues from your map to find each MOTAT treasure. Read the clues carefully and take in every hint to get the right answer and move on to the next clue.

In this exciting new ‘Weekend Experience’ the kids can learn while they play, reading about historic New Zealanders and artefacts while searching for their next clue.

Be sure to hand in your map at the end of the day and your team could be in to win some real MOTAT treasure in the monthly prize draw!

 

 


 

Voyager1 - 4D experience
