Children's entertainment in Auckland

“Was really awesome going on a sunny day last time was raining but this time everyone was out enjoying the sun was so cool to see”

“This the west end of the foreshore heritage walk, a 5km pleasant trail. I started from the middle of the trail, point 13 to the east, then back to the west. It took me 3-4 hours in total. It’s an amazing way to learn Auckland”

“Such a fun time at the park today with my grandson. Just moved into the area and so happy to find such a jem so close to home.”

“Roberta Reserve is a hidden gem tucked away in Glendowie. It’s peaceful, open, and has such a calm vibe—perfect for families, dog walks, or just taking a moment to breathe. The reserve runs alongside the water with beautiful views, especially at sunrise or sunset. There’s a great little playground for kids, plenty of space to kick a ball around, and shady spots to relax under. It’s never too crowded, and the mix of native trees, birdlife, and open space makes it feel like a proper local retreat. Definitely one of those underrated neighbourhood spots you feel lucky to know about.”

“Love this park! Lotsa trails that meander and undulates with streams, bridges and staircases that break up the monotony to select from depending on your capability and endurance, kids playgrounds are lovely and fun! Yes, even for adults. Haha. Lovely cafe and public swimming pool. Definitely a must go. Just remember to clean up as you go and leave no trace of whatever you ate or drank.”

“Came here this afternoon for a short walk and a picnic. Very calming site, nice community and surroundings.”

“Omana Beach Road Playground is a fantastic destination for families in East Auckland. The playground itself is well-equipped and provides plenty of fun for kids of all ages, making it an ideal spot for an active day out. It's set in a lovely location, perfect for enjoying the outdoors. While the public toilets aren't the best, it's good to know they are available on site. Overall, it's a highly recommended spot for a family outing, offering a pleasant and enjoyable experience near Omana Beach!”

“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!”

“Does Park has become a regular for me to take my dog spotty to there is always plenty of dogs here as it is an off-leash dog park surrounded by native bush and a circuit that a lot of people used to get fit the tracks themselves are never muddy and most of the dogs know each other as do the owners this park was gifted to Auckland buy Smith & caughey who owned the department store in Queen Street for over 100 years it was given to the people of Auckland so that it couldn't be used for housing and set aside as one of the greatest green spaces”

“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.”

“Loved this place with our three year old handsome junior. He loved it. There is single line railing track to hang and ride. That too is free. Quiet and comfy place. Thanks NZ.”

“A relatively small park but it's so beautiful. Especially now that the Cherry blossom trees have bloomed. They have a small playground and basketball court ask well.”

“Excellent with Hillsborough Primary School”

“Great little reserve to take the kids to. It has a cute little playground, some nice flat fields, a little scooter track and a half basketball court. Plenty of unpaid off street parking is available. Good place to come for a picnic and bring the dog!”

“Beautiful views of the harbor bridge and the city sky tower. Great picnic spot. Love the forest walks.”

“⸻ This playground features many snake-like slides, and my son had a great time weaving through the various tunnels and pipes. The seaside location offers beautiful views, and there’s plenty of sand to play in. Overall, it’s a fantastic place for kids to explore and enjoy!”

“A magnitic for visitors from near and far. This is the most famous and popular beach in Auckland. Always packed. You can try the eateries along Tamaki Drive. There is two toilets. There is also a playground. There is a police station at the intersection. Always lock your car and don't show any valuables.”

“Came to this beach on labour monday. Its very beautiful and not packed with people.”

“Neat, tidy and spacious piece of nature at the Central. Even an ocean view included ) Good for the unleashed dog walks and the active entertaments.”

“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.”

“My mom and I were in Auckland for a few days and wanted to go see a play and we ended up getting tickets to White Men. The venue was gorgeous, the show was great, and overall it was just a lovely atmosphere! If either of us ever go back to Auckland, we will definitely be looking to see another show here! Highly recommend!”

“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.”

“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!”

“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!”
