The Faraday Museum on Technology in Napier, is a place of discovery where history comes alive through hands on experience.

Interactive centre for discovery Exscite is Waikato Museum's interactive centre for discovery. It's a hands-on space where tamariki can play and learn through tactile and immersive surroundings.Build something new with our big Lego bricks, connect the circuit wall to make the lights sparkle, or gather around the firepit to share stories. There's always something to discover!We've recently launched Exscite: Home, the first phase of an extensive redevelopment project which showcases the way science is an integral part of everyday life.
