Myths from the Abyss
at Kelly Tarlton’s
|
 |
Long ago,
beneath the seas, stories tell of wondrous places like
the lost city of Atlantis and fearsome, man-eating
beasts. Closer to home the legends continue – from our
very own watery monster the Taniwha to how the North and
South Island came to be. Now you can discover the truth
behind these fishy tales when you visit MYTHS FROM THE
ABYSS at Kelly Tarlton’s during the Easter School
holidays (April 2nd – 18th).
Kids can uncover the mysteries
and monsters of the deep and take
part in the Guardians of Atlantis Treasure Hunt where
they must crack riddles to discover keys that will
unlock the mythical city’s gates and get them in draw to
win great LEGO prizes.
They can huddle up and hear amazing
myths from the abyss, including some of New
Zealand’s most beloved watery legends such as
Maui’s Fish and the Whale Rider, during hourly
storytelling sessions every day in the NIWA room.

Sovereign OceanKids
 At
last, a race for the
kids. Kiwi kids
love to spend the
summer at the beach,
so it is wonderful
that now they too
can participate in
ocean swimming - one

fastest growing
sports. The emphasis
will be on fun, swim
and water safety,
and the opportunity
to learn new
skills. All kids
will receive
coaching and
training advice from
a New Zealand swim
team member, and
members of Surf Life
Saving New Zealand
will support every
race. What an
event!
Everyone is a
‘winner’ for
completing the
event!
To enter, all
kids must 10 years
of age or under as
at 1 January 2010
and will be capable
of swimming 200m
competently in a
pool. Entry fee is
