Tourist attraction in Auckland

“Nice covered and fenced playground for littles. Manageable on your own if you take more than one kid as there are different areas of interest. Toilet on site too. Will visit again”

“One of the top off-leash dog parks in central Auckland, this well maintained gem offers a peaceful escape from the city’s hustle and bustle. It’s an ideal spot for dogs and their owners to unwind and enjoy some quality time away from the crowds.”

“An easy walk to the beach at Fitzpatrick Bay in Chatswood There is a large grassed area by the beach which makes it a perfect place for a swim Dogs will love the off-leash area at the beach walk offers great views over the Upper Waitematā Harbour”

“Onepoto Domain is a delightful urban park that offers a perfect blend of natural beauty and recreational space. With its expansive green lawns, tranquil pond, and scenic walking paths, it’s an ideal spot for both relaxation and outdoor activities. The reserve features a variety of native plants and trees, creating a peaceful atmosphere. The park’s large open spaces are great for picnics, sports, or simply enjoying the stunning views of the surrounding area. Whether you're looking to unwind or stay active, Onepoto Domain provides a refreshing retreat in the heart of the city.”

“Centennial Park Bush Walk is in Campbells Bay of Auckland's North Shore, right next to the famous Pupuke golf club. There are a couple of tracks in this bush which are all loops - Walking Bus, Aberdeen, Mamaku, Kohekohe, Bayliss, Avenue, Tui, and Magnolia. Combined, they are 4km track length altogether, and it may take an hour or so to complete them all. It would be handy to have a park map with you so that you will not be on the same track over and over in circles! Good shoes for this walk are essential, as some sections, particularly the Avenue of Remembrance, can be muddy and slippery after wet days. Depending on which direction you walk, there are uphills and downhills so be prepared. Dogs are allowed but must always be on a leash. There's a great lookout point with seating and views out to Campbells Bay and the Hauraki Gulf. Also, there are a couple of picnic benches in this park for you to have a relaxed meal or a drink.”

“⸻ 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!”

“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”

“Awesome scenes view here at top of hill. Great AKL cityview and also the ferry available. Nice spot”

“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.”

“Best wine tasting I've been to - the staff is incredibly knowledgable and I learned a ton! Not to mention their wines taste great. I can't compare this winery to any of the others on Waiheke as it was the only one we were able to go to after our flight was cancelled, causing a delayed start to our day. The manager, Rory, was incredibly understanding with our potential lateness. Staff was attentive during our time with them, food was delicious, beautiful scenery. Will definitely return if we're able to make it back to Waiheke someday! Also they have a very cute winery dog :)”

“Having enjoyed the magnificent views at sunrise today, 16/2/2024, we are so blessed to start our beautiful day off every Friday. At around 6:50am, the Sun rose gradually above the sea level. We stood on the grass which was a bit wet and watched the sunrise peacefully and gracefully. There were not many people there at that time, apart from a few joggers who do their daily jog along the trail. We enjoyed our packed breakfast and homemade coffee in our car with the amazing sunrise picturesque view. We highly recommend you to watch sunrise there if you live near Bucklands Beach or Half Moon Bay in East Auckland.”

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

“Best place if you like to hike and enjoy the nature. Many walkways to choose”

“For me Kennedy Point Vineyard produces not only some of the best wine on Waiheke, but in NZ. Even better, they are organic! Waiheke's temperate maritime climate has resulted in few vineyards dare to go organic, so for me this alone deserves applause! Sharing the Syrah and Hauraki with anyone I can. Big thanks and I look forward to seeing what the future brings for Kennedy Point Vineyard.”

“Spur of the moment restaurant choice before a show......and excellent choice! Lovely food, friendly & helpful staff. Would recommend to everyone for central CBD restaurant. Reasonably priced & great service.”

“Convenient place to stop, reasonably priced & the guys working there are always friendly, helpful & accommodating. A couple of times I’ve phoned near closing time & they’ve kept the store open until I’ve gotten there so I don’t miss out!”

“Auckland Zoo is an easy standout. The staff and volunteers are genuinely friendly and make the whole place feel welcoming. The animals look well cared for and the habitats are clean and well maintained. Plenty to keep the kids entertained with lots of space to explore and learn. Also, the coffee at the front cafe is surprisingly good which is always a win. A smooth, enjoyable visit from start to finish. Great place for families. Parking was closed due to renovations, so we had to park near MOTAT. Nice walk through the park though.”

“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.”

“We booked our corporate Christmas party at GameOver and could not have been more pleased with the choice. Your staff are absolutely great. From quick replies and great service to all of our pre-party correspondence to support and guidance on the day to ensure our large number of guests could seamlessly enjoy the various activities and lunch without a hitch. Our team thoroughly enjoyed the experience.”

“Really enjoyed our visit here. The show and guide was really good.”

“The cleanest of the leisure centres I visited. Warm water for kids, renewed spa and sauna rooms. Plenty of changing rooms for family. The only con is there isn't any family bathroom, just one for wheelchair.”

“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.”

“Fun! Fun! Fun! This place is a real hidden gem. It isn’t expensive and there is so much to explore and do. My children, 1,, 2, 7, and 12 year old, absolutely loved the place and didn’t want to leave, and neither did the adults! It was nostalgic with an authentic old-school vibe packed with play ground equipment and things to do that you just don’t see anymore. The inventions are wonderful, creative, and educational. Prepare to go early and for the whole day which still won’t be enough time to explore everything. There is a great cafe too, if you don’t want to pack your own food. I highly recommend this place for a family and friends day out with the kids.”

“Great for bikes and scooters. Basically a large West Auckland park that runs alongside Henderson and a creek. Ends up at the cycleway into town CBD alongside the Norwestern Motorway (in between Lincoln and Te Atatū South on-ramps). Fun walk/ ride. Interesting trees in the international garden area!”

“Great way to spend time with the kiddo. Aviation museum was a feast for eyes and other exhibits in Bldg 5 and 6 were very educational and fun. Highly recommended!”

“Absolutely lovely to wander around. Calming and natural. Also great to see locals making use of the facilities. The monarch butterflies and caterpillars were a treat to see!”

“I love Mt Eden village it's tranquil beautiful and full of life through the years I have been here many times it has many interesting quirky places some nice restaurants and cafes and it feels very homely”

“We booked the community room for our Xmas function. It was a bit warm without any air conditioner but apart from that it was a great location and will definitely go there again. Next time we will bring fans.”
