Investigate New Zealand’s pre-historic past.

What giant creatures once lived in Aotearoa New Zealand? Do giant creatures still exist here, and what do we know about them? We'll answer these questions and more through investigation, songs, stories and discovery.

Giants, dinosaurs and moa have a strong popular appeal for early learners. This programme capitalises on this to involve children in active exploration, to inspire them to observe and identify creatures and their changes over time.

The Stevenson Discovery Centre, Weird and Wonderful provides a secure space to examine specimens, to question and to discuss these extinct species.
