Easter Fun at TrainWorld & NZTM

Looking for something fun to do with the family over Easter? The Museum, TrainWorld and the Café are open Good Friday, Holy Saturday, Easter Sunday, and Easter Monday, with festive Easter activities happening at TrainWorld each day.

Instead of a traditional egg hunt, we’re doing things a little differently this year. Head to TrainWorld to take part in fun Easter-themed games and activities, and enjoy Easter eggs and chocolate bunnies handed out by our team.

It’s a simple, easy outing for families, with plenty to explore and treats to enjoy along the way. You'll also get to relax at the café, explore the museum and let the kids run around our six hectares of green spaces.
