If you and your little zoologist children have been itching to get to the Australian Museum and see the epic Whales | Tohorā exhibition, this summer deal will send it right to the top of your school holidays list.
Every Wednesday from December 19 until January 30, you’ll get to bring a friend (or kidlet) along to the exhibit free of charge when you purchase one ticket either online or at the museum and whisper the code ‘Whales Wednesday.’ You’ll get the full experience of the exhibit, which blends science with storytelling. Listen to the haunting whale chorus in the sound chamber, touch the vertebra of a fin whale, meet the artists and scientists who have dedicated their lives to studying whales, and explore the whale riding stories of Māori culture.
There’s also a special discovery trail with puzzles, craft and learning activities for the kids to follow, as well as self-guided tour you can access through the museum’s app.
