Children's entertainment in Auckland

“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.”

“It’s a small community Hall. The hall is perfect for kids parties, adult parties, weddings, fitness classes, church groups, social groups, sports groups, corporate functions, staff training, business planning, rehearsals, small community groups and lots more. Maximum of 50 people. Very affordable and easy. Theres a kitchen and table and chairs. The hall is a great space for the community to use.”

“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.”

“Very cool park. Great playground at one end of the park and a cool looking hide out/ tunnel/ ex-cannon place. Would have loved to use the stairs to go down the beach, but it was closed off. Looking straight ahead, you can enjoy Rangitoto island. A cool fact I just searched up, this park is named after American president John F. Kennedy.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“This playground is a fun and safe place for kids. It has swings, slides, and cool things to climb. There are trees, trails, and even places for butterflies. The park is clean and has shade to keep you cool. It is a great spot for families to play and relax...”

“We had such an amazing time on the fire truck! The team were able to secure us a booking with short notice, and were flexible with what we wanted. They communicated with us well and everything went off without a hitch! The experience on the bus was fantastic, drinks are well priced and yum. The sound system is fab and we were blasting our tunes the entire time. Such an awesome way to make an event special, or add some extra flair getting from A to B. We were so well looked after and our entire group were blown away with the quality of service and how easy everything was. Would highly reccomend! The price is totally worth it for all the fun you get!”

“Another iconic place in Auckland for theatre and arts. Wonderful performances and a meeting place for artists and art enthusiasts.”

“The best part are the acoustics. You have very good sound quality wherever you sit. The staff are friendly and helpful and the shows are always of a very high caliber.”

“Great facilities for performances and classes. Staff are helpful and friendly.”

“I recently purchased a table from Oak Furniture Store, and I couldn't be more pleased! It's been fantastic, especially in small spaces, where its multifunctional design really shines. Whether I'm using it for dining or as a workspace, it adapts perfectly. The setup was a breeze with the easy-to-follow instructions, making the whole process hassle-free. Highly recommend this table for anyone looking for both style and practicality!”

“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!”

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

“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.”

“Great park for families, would reccomend bringing skateboard or scooter(be respectful to Older skaters tho) and a tog n towel for the kids as the park has a cool water feature too.”

“Amazing service and beautiful quality of all their products. This is the first store that my husband and I have been to where the owners have been so incredibly helpful and so kind. In response to this we have decided to purchase the bulk of what we need for our baby as we have seen first hand the fine quality of absolutely everything they stock in store plus the respect we have in the store owners.”

“Beautiful theatre, reception was friendly. The waiting room is bit small and became overcrowded before the show and with interval. But I will be back there, was an enjoyable evening.”

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

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

“Saw "The Play that goes wrong" here. Absolutely fantastic, I haven't laughed this hard in ages, I may have also snorted. Would recommend to everyone. Also great intimate theatre with comfy seats. Thanks Waterfront, great evening.”

“Update- this little place no longer operates as a cafe. But instead is a cute venue and pizzeria and bar. Hours can vary so best to check out when they are open for pizza and drinks. The best little cafe in Westmere. We went to a birthday party here and it had an awesome private tiny theatre and private garden. There was also the public cafe with delicious food and coffee.”

“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...”

“This is a delightful park which has more than just play equipment. It has a lot of water play equipment so make sure the kids bring their togs. It has nice shady trees and a band rotunda. A great place for a picnic lunch or dinner and close to takeaways if you don't feel like bringing your own.”

“Lovely playground right next to the Point Chev beach. There is the usual playground, lots of slices, a mini push train and a flying fox too which the adults can enjoy too. Quite safe and a huge grassy area as well for other games”

“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 :)”
