Children's entertainment in Auckland

“Enclosed playground so you can relax a little while the kids play. Plenty of picnic tables, and play equipment for all ages 1-11y.o approx”

“Great park for the locals to relax. Parking can be an issue for busy summer time.”

“A peaceful oasis right on the waterfront! Scenic walking paths, native birdlife, and sweeping ocean views make it perfect for a relaxed stroll. The grassy areas are ideal for picnics, and the playground is great if you’re bringing kids. Highly recommend!”

“Last international act I saw was back in the 80s in the 'super top' with UB40. Boy things have changed. And for the better. Plenty of kiosks & free water. The arena's sound system is 1st class & its probably the way I would like to see acts from overseas.”

“This is such an awesome place! I would not have known it existed, if I had not gotten a Grab One voucher. The gentleman at the kiosk is very friendly and helpful. It is truly enchanting, with fun unexpected things to discover. There are little tucked away shaded niches, where you can take a bit of a rest. The grounds are beautifully clean, and excellently maintained. The courses are easy enough for children to enjoy, but difficult enough for adults to be a bit challenged. Great fun!”

“Great venue . World Cup Hickey tournament currently on”

“With its brand new beautiful playground is the best place to relax and take your kids in south Auckland”

“Lovely park where we came for a soccer tournament over the weekend. Ample parking by the Hibiscus Coast Football Club. There are Public toilets and multiple playgrounds to suit all ages by the beach. Beautiful views and atmosphere, a great place to spend time with family and friends”

“Had my daughter’s 3rd Birthday here and it was honestly so incredible. Ryan and his team communicated everything so well, from the party room, to the decorations to what kind of food we wanted. The actual playground is clean and tidy and the viewing space for adults is big! You don’t feel crowded at all. We have gone to other indoor playgrounds before and the space is so cramped and uncomfortable! They have such a huge range of party decorations and themes and add on options for the parties it really is a one stop shop!! Will definitely be recommending this to all my Mummy friends and will be back to celebrate more of my kids birthdays! Thank you Ryan and Team!”

“Beautiful setting and environment. Children play ground as well as walking tracks, one of which leads down to water front. Grounds gets very soggy on wet winters, this is so to the basketball court, paly ground, refer photos. Good summer picnic spot, quite and a hidden gem.”

“Nice place, big playground for kids.”

“Great facility, very helpful staff. Big thank you to Sofie who helped us book a room last minute when our other venue fell through!”

“Very nice hall, spacious, plenty of natural light, well maintained, ample parking”

“Fabulous location for a quiet walk or to run the dog or perhaps have a picnic, plenty of space coupled with a lil wildlife and scenic views all inside a residential neighborhood.”

“Lovely place to go for an evening walk, also has a fully fenced dog park”

“Nice park / playgroundfor both kids and adults.”

“Love this little spot for a picnic on a hot day! Kell Park has everything you need and more: plenty of shade, public toilets, ample parking and pushchair/wheelchair accessible pathways. Dogs are allowed off leash year round (although mind the free range chickens!) Albany library is just alongside so perfect to grab a book and read in the shade. There is a small playground (suitable for younger children) in the main park - or follow the pathway in either direction for a short bush walk to the big slide and flying fox (flying fox was out of order when we visited Jan 2024). For older children there isn’t a lot to do here - though the flying fox if working would be a good draw. We visit this park fairly frequently and it is never busy.”

“A peaceful relaxing and lovely place. Have a harbour bridge and tower view. Have bench and table to sit and tea.”

“Always stop here as a combination with the aquarium. Long flying fox. Big and small wheel climbers. Small kids area. Large lawn besides and beach across the road for a view of city and port.”

“One of the best parks kids can have fun for free.”

“Absolutely nice choice kids and adults to have good leisure time.Well maintained and organized playgrounds with unique designs.Along with that more than sufficiently parking facilities.. Such a big playground facilities to entertain kids. Really unique one slide,all thinks twice before trying it.Near to that huge playground for adults and free equipment for workout... Both side of the ground has BBQ facilities . Really suggestable to all to spend your quality of your time and to make your kids enjoy.”

“Lovely park. Nice shade in the summer in between the trees.”

“Love this park. My kids love it because my daughter and I get to do our little exercise rounds and also my son gets to play at the playground and his favourite the flying fox that's there too.”

“Good view of Lake Pupuke and clean public toilets . Good place to have a family Barbie.”

“Green Bastion amongst suburbia. Great general walking area for dogs, kids and family. Complete with cows”

“Beautiful place. Plenty of tracks, hidden gems. Bit of mud this time of year so wear sneakers.”

“First time visit and I will return, great arts centre, well laid out with some great options. They also run various art classes throughout the year, I highly recommend a visit.”

“A lovely well managed little community centre with different size rooms for hire and many community and business activities.”

“Such a fantastic building with tons of culture. A cozy theatre just big enough for the medium sized event. While awaiting the upcoming performance the theater itself gives so much to look at and admire. Parking building around the corner but tight streets, may suggest Uber to your event.”

“Absolutely cannot fault the service we received here! I emailed earlier in the week to enquire about the duration of a sale and they responded promptly. We went in today to purchase three car seats in order to fit three across in our vehicle. Jen served us and went absolutely above and beyond. She helped us to pick the right seats, talking us through pros and cons of a few seats, she then helped us to trial the fit for the three and then properly install all of them. All this on a stinking hot day, while being lovely to our two preschoolers. Thank you Jen for your amazing service, and thank you Babies NZ for your range of affordable, high quality carseats that enabled us to solve our three across dilemma without compromising on safety or having to remortgage the house! Highly, highly recommend!”
