School holidays at the New Zealand Police Museum

It's going to be a fun two weeks at the New Zealand Police Museum these holidays.

Grab a clipboard and follow trails of 'evidence' in our Operation series, unravel our latest junior detective mystery or join us for our scene of crime officer (SOCO) workshops. Plus we have all the usual favourites including police uniform dress ups and the M.O.T. motorbike; they make a great photo opportunity for the young and the young at heart! With so much on offer we're sure we'll see you at the New Zealand Police Museum these school holidays.

We’re open 7 days a week, 10am to 5pm, and general admission is FREE.
