Why not bring the kids to Torpedo Bay Navy Museum to Meet the Fleet these school holidays?
Meet the Fleet is our summer holiday programme where children learn a bit about ships from the Royal New Zealand Navy, past and present and make a badge of their favourite ship…or design a badge for the ship of their dreams!
Meet the Fleet runs from December 20th to January 29th.
Session times are 11:30 and 1pm, with an additional 2:30 session available from Jan 4th. Cost: $2 per child per badge

Torpedo Bay Navy Museum
Torpedo Bay, on the shores of the Waitemata Harbour in Devonport, is the new home of the Navy Museum. The site itself is of exceptional significance, developed as a torpedo station in the 19th Century as part of Auckland’s coastal defence network.
Inside these heritage buildings are an outstanding café, conference facility, education space and completely new permanent exhibitions. Our Museum tells the story of the Navy’s contribution to the development of New Zealand identity through the lens of the Navy’s values: commitment, courage and comradeship.
Opening hours 10am to 5pm, 7 days. Admission is free.
