How do museum hunts work?
Museum hunts are available to purchase any time from our Welcome Desk. Our team will help you get started with the first fun trail clue. You can choose your hunt style – we have 2 different hunt missions, suitable for ages 4-12.
Our team enjoys creating museum hunt missions so much that new hunts launch at the beginning of every school term! Purchasing a museum hunt is one way you can support us on our own mission – to continue to preserve and share New Zealand’s military aviation history.
