The Map
The floor is alive with your footsteps! A 14-metre-long satellite map of New Zealand is laid out on the floor. As you walk over the map, you trigger sensors that project a variety of images onto large display screens. Step onto its hot spots to see moments of New Zealand culture, identity, and geography.
More about The Map
The Wall
The Wall is a collective and creative space about who we are and what we do. Touch-screens provide access to thousands of digital records from a range of sources including TVNZ archives, Te Papa's own collections, and the OurSpace community. Display your chosen images on the 18-metre-long wall as a mural, visual story, or VJ composition. The possibilities for using The Wall are only limited by your imagination!

The Rides
The Deep Ride
A real life scientific adventure ride! Around 80% of New Zealand's territory is under water. But more people have travelled to the moon than have explored the depths around the Brothers underwater volcano.
With renowned scientist and adventurer Dr Cornel de Ronde to guide you, join the hunt for deep-sea black smokers and erupting volcanoes from the safety of our deep-sea vehicle simulator.

The High Ride
Imagine the most exciting clips from The Wall. The thrill of extreme sports, free running, flying foxes. The nostalgia of trundling over cattlestops, sliding down grassy hills. Clips that ride back in time, clips that go all around and under New Zealand. Now imagine that you enter The Wall and live these scenes first-hand – that's The High Ride!
