Whānau Day at Te Papa
20 September 2025
Join us at Te Papa for family fun during the September school holidays!
The RNZB comes to Te Papa for our annual day of fun for all ages. You’ll have the chance to peek behind the scenes of our exciting production of The Nutcracker and enjoy an action-packed day of activities with your national ballet company.
Bring your friends and whānau and enjoy dance workshops for children (including sessions for pre-schoolers), experience the magic of story-time, get colourful with face paint and crafty with ballet-themed activities. There will be something for everyone – see you there!

This is a free event, but paid registration is required for dance workshops.
