These July school holidays, the NZ International Science Festival has more than 60 events for the whole whānau.

From our exciting Science Train to the busy Festival Hub in the Meridian Mall, there’s plenty to keep the young ones entertained.  

For the adults, our popular series of talks covers a range of hot topics as well as exhibitions and science-related arts experiences including Tāmaki Makaurau-based artist Sione Faletau’s project creating an artwork out of sound data. 

Most events are free or pay what you can afford.
