Bring the kids to National Aquarium

The National Aquarium of New Zealand in Napier runs a school holiday programme from Monday to Thursday, July 11-14, and July 18-21. It costs $20 a child (6-12 years) a session.

Sessions run from 9.30am to 3pm. Morning tea is provided, but lunch is BYO, or it can be provided for $7. Bookings are essential.

There's also a family sleepover night on Saturday, July 16, so grab your pyjamas and bedding and bunk down with the fish. It costs $35 each.
