Children's entertainment in Auckland

“Well if you want alone time Mills bay is the place. Quite, hardly see anyone. My best spot to relax during my off days.”

“Good flat area. Smooth concrete path all around outside of park. Great for walking etc. Also a small playground for kids.”

“It's just in front of my house, good for jog , picnic, for boating also. When I tried to access the toilet in the morning its locked tho. Good playground for kids also.”

“This was a location suggestion, I took the photos ages ago with my family, I'm not too sure where it is, but I do know that it was a real cool place. I also remember a prison near the place.”

“Growing up, I always heard mixed things about walking through Myers Park — but after the recent updates, it feels completely different. It’s brighter, cleaner, and feels much safer now. Great to see the space being revitalized — it’s actually a really nice spot to stroll through again.”

“HOTCAKES & THE GRILL - Recommended dishes here. Recommend going when it is less busier as the service was top notch on Monday brunch, which was a big contrast to Saturday brunch where we weren't attended to. I think this is reflected in some of the reviews. Today we had Top notch service! They had fire places nearby tables which made it nice and warm on a chilly morning. Food portions were huge and we left feeling very satisfied! I would say one of the top brunch spots in Auckland CBD!”

“Well kept grounds and facilities. Little short on parking space. I added a photo for all you soccer parents to find out which field is where.”

“The variety of games is awesome especially for music games. I loved the place because of that. Also, they have very nice prizes for low amount of tickets.”

“Was at the pools it was amazing, went water walking”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Truly Outstanding Experience — Joe’s Garage Has Our Hearts! We first discovered Joe’s Garage in Queenstown and instantly fell in love — the food, the layout, the vibe… everything was perfect. But the real star for us was the pancakes, which our daughter adored. For a whole year she talked about them and couldn’t wait to go back as we were from Auckland. So when we found out there was a Joe’s Garage in Silverdale, we were thrilled — even though we live all the way in Henderson, we were more than happy to make the trip. We finally arrived, excited and ready… only to learn that the famous pancakes are only served before 5pm, and we had arrived at 6:30pm. Our daughter was devastated, and honestly, so were we. But this is where the magic happened. Our wonderful server Tyra (who was also managing that evening) could see how much it meant to our daughter. We politely asked if there was any chance the chef might be able to make an exception. Instead of giving us a flat no, Tyra said, “Let me see what I can do.” She went to speak with the kitchen team, and came back with the most heartwarming news — their chef Hunter was willing to make a fresh batch of pancakes from scratch, just for our daughter. We were genuinely moved. This wasn’t standard service — this was above and beyond. Tyra’s kindness, and Hunter’s willingness to go out of his way, created a moment our family will never forget. Because of this experience, Joe’s Garage will forever have a special place in our hearts. Wherever we see a Joe’s Garage in the world, we’ll be loyal supporters — and our daughter will too. A massive thank you to Tyra (server & manager) and Hunter (chef) for turning a sad moment into such a beautiful memory. You made our daughter’s day, and ours. ❤️ Ray from Henderson”

“Great skate park, a field to walk the dog, kick a ball, or picnic. Adjacent play area for young ones and a serviced toilet.”

“Moore Park is a delightful escape, offering a refreshing blend of natural beauty and recreational opportunities. The expansive green spaces are perfect for picnics, games, or simply relaxing in the sunshine. The well-maintained pathways invite leisurely strolls, and the overall atmosphere is one of tranquility and enjoyment. One of the most charming aspects of Moore Park is its hidden gems. I was pleasantly surprised to discover swings tied to tall trees far back in the field. They weren't professionally made, but they had a certain rustic charm that instantly transported me back to childhood. It was a simple yet heartwarming sight that genuinely lifted my spirits. Moore Park is a wonderful place to spend time, whether you're seeking outdoor recreation or a touch of nostalgia. The park's combination of natural beauty and unexpected delights makes it a truly memorable destination. It's a place where you can reconnect with nature and rediscover the simple joys of life.”

“Good safe park to take my kids. Had a playground and nice toilets with a walking track around the field too.”

“This is a very good hotel. The rooms are spacious, well equipped and spotless. The hotel is centrally located will the marina 15minute slow walk, sky tower 5 minutes and queens Road shops also 5 minutes. The staff are very friendly, professional and courteous where nothing is too much trouble to sort. Thank you to all for making this stay very enjoyable and I highly recommend this hotel.”

“My daughter is learning swimming here through swimgym in otara and she is loving it.. ❤️”

“Our son started at lollipops Lynfield a month before he turned one. It’s a dreadful experience for any parent when they first drop off their kid but the team at Lollipops Lynfield was so understanding and kind and helped with this transition in a amazingly kind and thoughtful way-we can’t speak more highly of them. A year later -Our son loves going here and we trust the team and couldn’t ask for more.”

“One of our favourite places to visit each school holidays. Even more so since the upgrade last year!! Under 5 area is amazing and a massive improvement to what it previously was. Great for all ages including adults.”

“I recently took my sons to Gravity Mt Wellington after they had been in an accident. They were quite nervous and hesitant to get back on the trampolines. I was approached by Shahad, the manager, on her day off. Even though she didn’t have to, she kindly approached us and spent time with my boys. She spoke to them gently and reassured them that they were safe. Her patience and encouragement helped them slowly build up their confidence. By the end of the visit, they were smiling, laughing, and jumping again. It was such a relief to see them enjoying themselves after everything they had been through. Shahad truly went above and beyond in a way that not many people would. I’m so grateful for her kindness and the difference she made for my family that day. We will definitely be coming back!”

“We were a group of 3, we ordered bbq ribs with wedges salad, grilled fish with roast potatoes salad, lamb shanks with mash and Veges for our mains. Amazing dishes, good portions. The service was attentive. Our entree jalapeño poppers were the best we've had. This is my 2nd time at this restaurant. We all left very happy with our meals! Will definitely be back again.”

“I watched Mission: Impossible yesterday at Event Cinemas in Westfield Newmarket, and I’m so glad I did! The experience was fantastic—such a stark contrast to my visit to Hoyts Sylvia Park the day before, which was extremely disappointing. Event Cinemas truly impressed me. The entire place, from the lobby to the theatre itself, was spotless and well-maintained. I was especially impressed that they have staff assigned to clean the cinema after each movie—something that really stood out in terms of care and attention to detail. The staff were also friendly, welcoming, and incredibly patient in answering all of my questions. Their warm attitude really made a difference. I was so pleased with the service that I didn’t hesitate to book tickets on the spot to return this weekend and watch Jurassic Park! Special thanks to the lovely lady who helped me at the counter with my ticket and drink purchase, and to the kind young man who assisted me after the movie when I booked my next visit. Kudos to the entire team at Event Cinemas Westfield Newmarket—you’ve definitely won me over!”

“Free local pools. The facilities are well maintained, staff are friendly and welcoming. We’re lucky to have Otahuhu Pools in the area.”

“Clean, comfortable salon. Welcomed with offer of beverage. Stylist listened carefully to what I wanted and I was delighted with result (colour & cut). Will def return next time I’m in Auckland.”

“Had a good day here. Good for a family outing with food and bar options. Recommended. Just a FYI there are 2 archies in New Market. It's the one in the mall just incase you get lost like me haha”

“We had an amazing time celebrating my daughter’s 10th birthday with her friends at Zone Bowling Botany. We did the Two Pin kids party package, plus an additional game of bowling at the end. The staff, especially Nakita and Aazerah, were very friendly, helpful and professional. They made the day fun, easy to manage and basically stress-free. They made sure we were taken care of even before the party started, with the bonus arcade time while we were waiting for the rest to come - that was such a lovely surprise and very thoughtful! The kids had a blast, it was super fun and a memorable day for everyone! The food was delicious too! We highly recommend Zone Bowling Botany for your party needs or if you just want to have fun! Thank you so much Zone Bowling Botany team ❤️”

“Here’s a polished, positive Google-style review based on your example: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ What an amazing place! Just visited the new climbing facility in Auckland and it blew me away. The setup is modern, safe, and seriously fun. We were there trying out the new climbing venture and the kids absolutely loved it. Such a great way to get them off the devices and give them a real personal challenge — watching them overcome their fears and push themselves was awesome. Highly recommend for families, beginners, and anyone looking for a confidence-boosting adventure!”

“Went for Taekwondo and to play basketball before. Good spot for that.”

“Many parents bring their children to play here. Great outdoor place for children.”

“Great place if you want to let you dog off the leash in a save (fenced) environment. The fenced area is really big - it’s not gonna get cramped in there. Rest of the park is big, well maintained and offers beautiful views and relaxing benches.”

“Great facilities, we run our Henderson blood drives here at te pai”

“Wonderful place to learn the history of Crown Lynn pottery and to see displays of their pottery.”
