Children's entertainment center in Auckland

“Absolutely amazing hall. Clean, modern and fairly priced. Booking and everything was so easy and smooth. Great quick responses when we messaged. The hall came with everything you would need for your event. My son’s first birthday here was everything we wanted it to be! Extremely grateful and will be booking here again whenever we have an event.”

“Awesome Community Hub. I've been going with my wife for the past 2 weeks and it's always tidy, clean and lots of parking available.”

“grandsons favourite especially with the train and the fort. Great parking and well off the road and toilets handy with cafe across the road or other side of the park. Magic”

“Awesome place to take the kids! The playground has way more features than your average playground. It has some cool gym machines alongside the playground which are good for teenagers and under. Also has a flying fox which is safe for young kids to use - even by themselves. It would seem that the local community looks after the playground as it's always kept clean. There is little-to-none vandalism and it is free for anyone inside the community to use.”

“Awesome staff and crew. Aaron was very helpful. He made sure all our kids are well taken cared of. He extends his helping hands to the kids and the kids had so much fun. He was also always there to help me in all my party needs. The kids had a blast on this day! This is a party to definitely remember! Our birthday girl was ecstatic!”

“As a new mother I was told not to trust the big franchises as they do not have a quality of care. After having my child attend 2 different big branded daycares I almost believed them. That’s until I started my son here. Millennium Ellerslie has shown the upmost support and care for my child. He has severe eczema and allergies to wheat and egg and they’ve accommodated his needs and wellbeing without excluding him or singling him out. They’re honest go above and beyond. They’re honest, respectful and caring and my husband and I rave about how pleased we are with this centre. The teachers and staff are amazing and my son always feels welcome and happy when we arrive and leave. Thank you all for your patience and professionalism.”

“Amazing service ! Had so much fun and very accommodating. We have 6 children ages 4-13 and she made sure to accommodate to them all. So much fun for them as well as us parents. Definitely recommend. Also the lasertag space is the perfect size, not too small yet not too big.”

“Plenty of activities on during the month. Keep up the good work.”

“We had our end of season Hockey at Laserforce, and had 2 hours unlimited lasertag. It was amazing, the kids and adults all loved it. It's such a big space with an upstairs and downstairs. Everything is explained well and the staff are great. We were able to bring in outside foods and had Pizza Hut delivered from just around the road and brought in other drinks and foods. All and all I recommend this for a kids party or team building activity.”

“Highly recommended!! Hired this hall for a first birthday in the weekend and it was such a beautiful venue. Easy to hire, communication was quick and very efficient. Very easy to find if you are using the google maps. We hired the main hall and small meeting room next to the kitchen and the kitchen we also added the Full stage and AV package. We were given a video with instructions on how to use the Full AV and it was very informative and very easy to follow. For someone who don’t know anything about AVs, we had no problem at all and everything worked out well. Very happy!! Photos below…”

“Friendly and helpful staff. Lots to keep the kids busy and occupied.”

“Superbly restored historic building in park-like grounds. Lovely cafe & arts display too!”

“Love this place. The staff was so nice.”

“Legendary, super fun experience with incredibly helpful staff. Special shout-out to Raj and Avin! We only found out about the student discounts after paying, and they went out of their way to process a refund for us. Truly appreciated. Highly recommend.”

“Very nice wooden dance floor in the hall. It's not a huge hall so great for small to medium sized events, maybe max about 50 people.”

“my moko is new to this place, staff are always welcoming a cross section of mum's dad's & grand careers as well... the children have fun, there's so much variety of activities to do here.... very popular place...”

“Definitely recommend. Was a great venue to host my son’s 5th birthday party. Perfect space for the kids to play on the playground and there was a room for us to have a bouncy castle as well. Was easy and simple to book and had no issues at all :)”

“We have just started our 10 month old here and have been overwhelmed by how caring, friendly and supportive the staff have all been. They have taken so much time to make sure she is comfortable and is looked after very well. It's a lovely atmosphere to go into, always calm but the children always have activities and things to do. The teachers work well as a team and are very thorough with their processes. As a first time parent it feels great to leave my baby in not just capable but loving hands where I know she is happy all day . Thank you”

“I would like to thank the wonderful team at The Learning Corner for teaching, guiding, mentoring and taking care of our daughter from February to April 2025, when she transitioned to Primary School age. My daughter was enthusiastic about going to the Learning Corner and had lots to speak about when she would come home every day - about her friends and particularly all her teachers. She loved all the activites, fun programmes and games at this insitituion. Most importantly she felt loved and felt safe at the Learning Corner. She enjoyed, grew and matured under their able guidance and their efforts together with the wonderful team of teachers and staff. We were blessed to have your support and encouragement, as a new family settling into New Zealand academic system and life. We are immensely grateful for every blessing that we have received from The Learning Corner.”

“Awesome place for kids’ parties! We had so much fun at Timezone. A special shout-out to our lovely host, Marcus — he was incredibly friendly, attentive, and did an amazing job supervising the children. He also offered great support to parents and made everyone feel welcome. Highly recommended!”

“We rate this daycare so highly, our daughter is nearly 3 and has been going since she was 10 months old. The teachers and staff are so welcome and nurturing, our daughter absolutely adores them all and loves going. It’s amazing to see how well children can succeed in such a loving environment. Other than the care and amazing learning provided it also exceeded our expectations with food provided. Every day a healthy cooked meal is provided meeting all of our child’s nutritional needs and this takes such a big weight off needing to make packed lunches. Wouldn’t send our child anywhere else :)”

“A really nice, multi-use gymnasium - two large arenas with a viewing platform between. Houses gymnastics and trampoline National and international competitions and training.”

“I completed my field placement in the babies room at Happy Turtle Childcare, and it was a truly rewarding experience. The staff were incredibly welcoming and supportive, and I learned so much from their nurturing and professional approach. I had the chance to support daily routines, engage in play-based learning, and build meaningful connections with the infants. The environment was calm, safe, and thoughtfully set up for early development. This placement helped me grow both personally and professionally, and I’m so grateful to have been part of such a caring team. Amandeep kaur Somal”

“Hands down, the best childcare centre in Auckland. Large format, heaps of parking, amazing, experienced teachers who connect with your child and constantly go above and beyond. From the moment you step in the centre, you're greeted with a smile and the vibe is very comforting and calm. The best thing about this centre is they have dedicated, separate rooms for ALL age groups so children under 1 have 1 room, children between 1 and 2 have a separate room and vice versa. This enables children to get the absolute best environment to learn at their own pace and flourish. There are 5 separate rooms for children and each one is heavily equipped to provide the best possible care for your child. Highly recommended!”

“The best escape room we have experienced so far. The room is really well designed to fit the theme. Staff is friendly and helpful, answered our questions patiently. Can solve the puzzles either sequentially or not.”

“Busy Bees Apollo has been our home for the last 4.5 years. We have our two daughters here and they love it. The teachers are caring and keep us updated on our children’s progress. We can only speak highly of this learning centre and will continue to recommend it to friends and family. Thanks for everything, BBA!”

“We had a great time on all the games. I especially enjoyed the No Mans Land VR free-roam no cables team battle shooter!”

“I went to this on one Saturday and the friendly and nice looking Filipino staff was amazing. She helped me reset my password which hasn't been used for ages and find some credits in my my account. With her wonderful service, I successfully completed my printing job. It is a shame I didn't get her name. I think she's a Filipino immigrant.”
