New school holiday programme
It seems too early to be talking about school holidaysbut they start next week!
With the spring edition of the school holidays fast approaching, we have the answer to the question asked every time this rolls around, "What on earth will I do with the kids?!"
From Monday October 1, there is something for children in both Taupo and Turangi. There's scavenger hunts, survival stories, lego, crafts - have we caught your interest yet?
The programme coincides with Suzhou: Faith and Life at Taupo Museum, which is an amazing historical exhibition all the way from China.
It's still too cold to have a dip in the lake and with the weather is still a bit unpredictable, so instead of cracking open another DVD case for the movie they've seen a hundred times, how about heading to the library or museum to see what's happening? If it's a certain event you're after, please be aware you have to book for some of the content and while most are free, some have a small fee for art and craft materials.
You can check out what's on in the libraries kids page on the website, or pop into the library or museum to get your copy of the event programme.
