Children's entertainment in Auckland

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

“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.”

“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.”

“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”

“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!”

“The teachers are amazing and my child loves it there. The teachers look after the children so well. I'm so happy about the decision we made.”

“It's a nice and big open field, Reserve. Nice place to go for a long walk or run around the reserve. The Reserve has a kids playground. It's has a skateboard park and basketball court. There's some training equipment in the middle of the field. It has a public toilet. Big carpark here.”

“Awesome lounge, excellent food and a great wine selection. Plenty of showers without line ups. Beautiful view”

“Took a course for teenagers recently and found this really helpful. All interaction with them over the last 7 years has been excellent.”

“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.”

“Huge park with ample parking and passive spaces. The playgrounds and grounds are well maintained and the rugby fields are a hot spot for sporting events and trainings.”

“Nice and big park for kids. It has big and small slides, swing, and a nice place to ride a bike or scooter here. No public toilet.”

“The Chinese Lantern Festival was a mesmerizing experience filled with vibrant colors, intricate lantern displays, and cultural festivities. Walking through the illuminated pathways adorned with beautifully crafted lanterns was truly enchanting. The variety of shapes and designs showcased the rich heritage and craftsmanship of Chinese culture. The atmosphere was lively with traditional music, dance performances, and delicious food stalls offering a taste of authentic Chinese cuisine. It was a magical evening that left a lasting impression, perfect for families and friends to enjoy together.”

“The stadium is small but creates a top atmosphere- staff were very friendly nd the food was good- what’s not to like here. Parking as easy as well and the others had a good time- perfect for a family night out.”

“Had a lovely evening Charter overlooking the Auckland bridge and Sky Tower. Great food, friendly staff and great music and party on board!”

“What a fantastic place, stayed from the 6th to the 9th April, I chose here as it is very close to the Southern cross hospital where I had my operation. My room was really nice close to the main entrance which was a big bonus, the staff were really nice and helpful. Plenty of food places around even though I didn’t use them. Hoyt’s cinema close by as well. But as I mentioned earlier it was the helpful staff that impressed me the most. I highly recommend this motel and would definitely stay again.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“A nice park where you can play soccer, football, and volley; with plenty of changing rooms and/or restrooms. Parking spaces are relatively plenty, though when there's a game, the spaces are filled up fast. Often confused with the neighbouring Hendon Park (it's the one with the bridge); though there's a door and pathway that connect the 2 parks.”

“Went to watch the cricket. These grounds are well used by the community. Only one lot of public toilets byt they are tidy and wheelchair friendly.”

“Awesome new club rooms, nice fields and astro turf”

“Love taking shots of the curved railing. Great to walk along the waterfront and beach. There is also a cool playground for kids.”

“Thank you for your hard work in supporting my son as they develop. Your patience and commitment to supporting my child has meant a lot to our family. With your guidance, our son has developed into a confident and capable child. Thank you for being such an important part of our child’s development. Your expertise in teaching (specially Sashi, Anita, Linda, Parul, Tina) has put our minds at ease. We are so grateful to have you as our child’s teacher. Our child’s literacy and numeracy skills have improved considerably under your care. Thank you for helping them develop the skills and confidence they’ll carry forward. Your play-based learning approach is amazing! It’s been a pleasure watching our child grow this year. We appreciate the effort you put into each child in your class. Thank you for being a caring and important part of our lives. My son enjoyed his first trip to museum a lot. Thanks to Sashi as she keeps our spirits up all the time and constantly connected our child with our religious traditions. Special Thank you Anita as my son had special bond with you and always happy when he sees you. We are well aware of the effort you put into each child in your class. Thank you for going above and beyond. Your commitment and love for our child are truly appreciated. We couldn’t be more thankful to have had you in our lives.”

“Stunning views, beautiful atmosphere, excellent food. Staff was friendly.”

“Awesome place to take the kids. We attended a birthday party. They set a area up for us and catered food and water. There's a Cafe with decent food. Plenty of parking It get hot during summer, keep the kids hydrated. No complaints.”
