Our travelling discovery centre is a fun, hands-on way to explore the incredible journey water takes from sky to sea.
Wonder Wai Discovery Centre
We're thrilled to have our Wonder Wai Discovery Centre out and about at a neighbourhood near you.
Our seven-metre-long trailer is an immersive experience that's all about sparking curiosity. With interactive games and models, it brings to life the six stages of Auckland's water journey: rainfall, water sources, water treatment, household use, wastewater treatment, and water’s return to nature. Visitors of all ages will enjoy learning the fundamentals of dam construction with our 'Dam Builder' game, exploring the Waterwise House and testing your knowledge of what to flush and what to bin.
We'll also have the latest information about infrastructure projects in your area. The mobile visitors centre will primarily go to communities where we are building or upgrading water and wastewater infrastructure. And given we are delivering a $13.8 billion investment programme over the next 10 years, Wonder Wai will be travelling all over Auckland.
