Children's entertainment in Auckland

“There should be a mat track around the entire ground.”

“Nice big stadium inside Selwyn College. Went with my family to the makeup and other products sale. Clean place. Heaps of parking outside. Toilets inside. Great spot for sports, markets, and school shows.”

“the interior is so cool but i kinda got mixed up with the escalators and the stairs were kinda weird for leading into a bunch of different stores like the back of daiso. very spacious area but it feels lonely without a massive amount of people. i hope more ppl will visit this place so i can follow the crowd if i need to get out of the building.”

“June 2024 A nice park in West Auckland. Well kept and includes toilet facilities too. Off street parking well marked out. Fields were currently marked out for winter sport.”

“It was such an awesome place to stay with plenty of room! Facilities are great, and so is the central location. Sky tower about 20 mtrs from here. Check in and check out were hassel free! Would definitely stay here again.”

“Cool skatepark with loads of steps, ledges and interesting spaces to learn skills. Two pools and a great play area for little ones.”

“Good to watch soccer and rugby Lots run their dogs there”

“Kings birthday weekend trip here. Lots of people, very busy. But lots of trains running, mix of electric/diesel locomotives and steam locomotives also. Great time for adults and kids alike”

“We had our function held in this restaurant and was looked after by one of their workers named Shania. She was extremely helpful and was really patient when we communicate with her, she was also enthusiastically conversing with us. Her service made our experience in this restaurant outstanding. Shania was really fast and efficient when it comes to bringing the food on time and also taking our used plates and glasses. Thank you so much for an amazing service! We will definitely choose to eat here again when we have another function or even just to eat in here.”

“Great place plenty to keep the kids and adults entertained. Hosted a 7 year olds birthday in a great glow in the dark room and laser tag with 11 kids chaotic but so much fun had by all highly recommended. Staff were very accommodating and provided clear instructions nice one guys appreciate the effort!!”

“Great service when entered & while eating Food didn't take long to come out Taste of food was beautiful very flavoursom with generous size to share ✴️The butchers block that was huge size able to feed up to 8 ppl although could of done with a side of garden salad & the colsaw as the colsaw was to rich on its own & it was runny needing to be in a bowl but yes different salad to break the meat would of been nice, yes all the meat tasty & tender yes worth a block ppl ✴️The blacksmith cheeseburger was OK needed more mayo or burger sauce was a bit dry biting into it , was expecting cheesy flavor couldn't finding in the bite. ✴️Surf n Turf was on par with cooking steak medium rare prawns & muscles done right ✅️ just needed a bit more salad & sauce. ✴️ Ceasars salad✅️ beautiful meaty & tasty It Complemented the butcher block had shared it around so worth. ✴️ mash potatoe was very tasty & smooth shared between 3ppl was beautiful ✅️ ✴️ Garlic pizza bread was tasty ✅️ but would of just got a normal Garlic bread. ✴️ Jug of coke & raspberry costly & when got to taste had no fizz it tasted flat had advised the waitress she had bought out a new jug . When sitting and talking towards end of the meal felt rushed with waitresses coming in interrupted conversations by asking to take thing off the table & the supervisors other waiters lingering around the bar area to where they could advise waitresses of emptying tables to get ppl out sooner they got in . It was like that when eating we were seated not far and could see they were lingering around it was uncomfortable. If they could spread out or hang back in backhouse it wouldn't feel weird. Other than that would definitely go back & highly recommend but find seating further from bar area.”

“Had a great time today at Lilliputt. Arrived about 12.30pm. No wait time at all, played both courses stopping for lunch in between. The food was fabulous and came out quickly. The courses are really well done and look forward to coming back again soon!”

“Good place to get presents. Often see nice clothes and kitchen stuff at bargain prices”

“Absolutely amazing experience! The service here is exceptional — the staff were super friendly, helpful, and patient throughout. The furniture selection is huge with plenty of styles to choose from, and everything is well-organized in the showroom. I was really impressed by the quality. Best of all, the prices are very affordable compared to other stores. Highly recommended!”

“Really lovely club. Sheltered outdoor seating, beautiful native park like gardens.”

“Absolutely delighted with our experience at Amber Early Learning Centre! From the moment we walked in, we knew we had found the perfect place for our little one to flourish. The staff at Amber are exceptional in every sense – warm, caring, and truly dedicated to nurturing each child's individuality. What truly sets them apart is the love and genuine care they pour into every child. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a nurturing, enriching, and positively vibrant early learning experience for their child.”

“I have absolutely LOVED this gym. Everyone is friendly, the gear is great, it’s rarely crowded, and having the basketball court has been a great bonus.”

“My two kids started swimming at Swimsation Te Atatu Peninsula in April 2024. They had very limited skills when they started (way below their school age level). With the support of the great teachers they learnt so much in just a few months that now they are swimming beyond their school age level. The staff is kind and accomodating, we managed to catch up with our make up classes every time we had one missed class. Thank you! Keep up the good work, you guys are great!”

“Small but good space space the kids to play.”

“Great place to enjoy junior football with grandson on Saturday morning...3-0 great win!!!”

“Great plays, wonderful generous food and displays on opening nights”

“Two Rainbow slides, two picnic tables and one two seats swing. Lots of fun”

“This archaeologically significant heritage site is under restoration and is not open to the public. The park is situated on one of the last volcanic cones rising above the industrial roofs of East Tamaki. Along with the neighbouring church land it makes up the remaining 13 hectare of a 160 hectare farm established by Reverend Gideon Smales in the late 1850s. Hampton Park - Large old tree with a long rock wall in the background”

“Excellent childcare, the staff are so good! Our boy loves it there.”

“We had my son’s 3rd birthday here over the weekend and it was such a great experience. Everything was handled really well and I didn’t have to worry about anything at all. The party host Kaira was so attentive and lovely and made us all feel very welcome. The rooms was decorated nicely , the food was all out very quick and the kids had so much fun! Thanks so much! We will be back for sure :)”

“We take the kids here for Saturday basketball - the coaches are great and the kids have got a lot from these sessions. recommend!”

“Overall, our experience with Swimsation has been positive. The staff genuinely care about the kids, and the environment feels professional but more importantly, welcoming. We don’t usually leave reviews, but we want to say how much we appreciate Heart. She’s kind, attentive, and clearly cares. She always takes the time to check in on our child’s progress and makes us feel seen. Swimsation, you’ve made a great hire with Heart, and that speaks to the quality of the whole team. We hope she and everyone at Swimsation know how much they’re appreciated.”

“I work near the area and it is quite convenient to have a Childcare center very close to my workplace. My daughter loves Brightsparks Childcare center and she asks me everyday including weekends “is it schooltime?” I truly recommend this place as the people who work there make you feel family. The moment you step in the center, you already know that your child is in the care of wonderful people. I see the teachers care for each one of them and really focus on their different needs. They also involve the parents by providing workshops for them to know what they do at the Center and also guide you how playtime plays a crucial part of learning and development. They even have field trips, which I enjoy with my daughter. I am a solo mum with no relatives in NZ, and Brightsparks have helped me a lot in developing my daughters social confidence and learning development!”

“This place is amazing. We viewed a lot of daycare centres and I was amazed how much they differ. Tiny Voices and Eduplay were the best by far. Tiny Voices has the largest play areas - inside and outside, and all the carers are smiling and down on the floor playing with the kids. The kids are split into individual year groups so you don't have to worry about 2 year olds tripping over 6 month olds. The food smells from the kitchen are incredible. Our 11 month old transitioned within 2 weeks with no real issues and everyone who works there is so friendly it feels like we've been going for years.”

“I normally come here every week. Most of the time i visit the shop i come across to an amazing human being. Aggie, who is the team leader here, is always smiling, very friendly, polite and helpful. Thanks, Aggie, for your amazing customer service and hard work!! The shop is very tidy and well presented. Clothing is always clean, ironed and clearly priced. Great selection and fantastic quality products. Best Op shop!! Highly recommended!!”
