FAQ

1. Can I pay to see just one exhibition?

At this time we are not offering each exhibition separately. The price package is the same as the existing charges for the Mighty River Waikato exhibition and similar to the old pricing structure for Exscite.  However, now we are offering the opportunity to experience both exhibitions for the same price.  This represents outstanding value.

2. My sons are 7 and 5 will there be anything suitable for them in the Mighty River Waikato exhibition?

Yes!  The Mighty River Waikato: from Hinaki to Hydropwer has something to offer all ages and the whole family.

3. Where do I buy tickets from?

Tickets are purchased from the Museum foyer at the information desk. One of our hosts will be happy to assist if you have any further questions.
