Tourist attraction in Auckland

“For the price it's not bad, especially if you haven't been to a theme park before. The lines for the rides were surprisingly not a long wait. We went on a Saturday and spent the whole day there. So I recommend to come early and try all the rides.”

“My Grandaughter Hayley from MELBOURNE was due for her 30th birthday, what’s a fantastic family plan she thought? Here’s the action! I will go to NZ and take granddad, aunty and her granddaughters to a fabulous attraction BUTTERFLY CREEK near Auckland airport! WOW! an absolutely amazing choice, friendly staff, well maintained, safety precautions adhered to by all! We hit cafe first as you do! The coffee was first class as was the food displayed or made. Train ride got you oriented to the park surroundings. That is wonderful! We had paid extra for a Meerkat encounter, stars where Kia and Otse friendly and playful no hesitation to climb on you for the mealy worms you fed them! Our animal keepers Madie and Woo who where in enclosure with us where knowledgeable informative and very nice people. The butterfly, kiwi, aquarium, baby animals dinosaurs are absolutely amazing! They have birthday party rooms as well! My advice for a fabulous educational and happy outing for discerning families is to take a trip and visit BUTTERFLY CREEK in Auckland NZ Arthur C Charlton west Auckland NZ.”

“Great staff at reception. Excellent interiors, very nice auditorium. Parking & entrance a bit disturbed due to recent road closure & diversion. Lovely art & gallery too. Very happy to see such a nice community centre.”

“Great fields. Dry and well maintained soccer fields”

“Good! Get fresh air and excellent skyline city views.”

“Herne Bay Beach is a lovely little beach in Auckland. On 14/10/2023, we went to Herne Bay Beach for a relaxing walk. Unfortunately, the weather was not so good and we didn’t enjoy much there. We will definitely go there again on a sunny day at Easter and recommend you to go there if you live in Herne Bay or happen to drive past there.”

“Have been trying to find a decent park in the area. Highly recommend this. We brought our 3 kids here for fish n chips and a play. They have outdoor exercise machines. And the playground is super fun. Also nice place to have a picnic.”

“Nice park, ample parking. Great for kids. Cool as playground as well as a flat area to cycle and play on. Nice walkway by the stream.”

“Oakley Creek Waterfall in New Zealand is a hidden gem that offers a breathtaking escape into nature. The picturesque waterfall cascades gracefully down a rocky cliff, surrounded by lush greenery and vibrant flora, creating a serene atmosphere perfect for relaxation and reflection. The well-maintained walking trails leading to the waterfall make it accessible for visitors of all ages, and the sound of the rushing water adds to the tranquility of the experience. Whether you're an avid hiker or simply looking for a peaceful spot to enjoy the beauty of New Zealand's landscapes, Oakley Creek Waterfall is a must-visit destination that leaves a lasting impression.”

“Had our grad here and nice historical clean venue”

“I had an unforgettable experience at this sushi restaurant! The sushi was incredibly fresh and delicious—each bite was a burst of flavor and beautifully presented. What truly set this place apart, though, was the staff. Every member of the team was exceptionally kind, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. They went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable and taken care of throughout our meal. It’s rare to find such a perfect combination of outstanding food and warm, friendly service.”

“What an amazing fun experience! You walked in you would feel you were in a different place! Just make sure you know the car park is not beside the building. The car park is on the right hand of the top! If you read the sign on the building you will see it”

“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!”

“Safe place to walk and let the kids play.”

“Really great experience shopping there and the Indian gentleman are really helpful and friendly pretty good product range and experience there will definitely back again”

“I’ve taken my kids to Auckland Adventure Park a few times and they absolutely love the luge and the 4D cinema! It’s a fantastic place for children aged 4 through to teens. For younger kids—especially those in preschool and primary school—it’s an amazing venue for birthday parties. Their castle-themed party room is a real highlight, perfect for children who love medieval and knight-themed adventures. For older kids, the zipline and VR games offer plenty of excitement too. Highly recommended for a fun family day out or a memorable birthday celebration!”

“Good experience today. Bought bagels last night and got home to find a small spot of mould even though they were perfectly in date. Took them back today no receipt but could tell them what time I purchased, I assume they checked cctv/logs, but they replaced with no drama and even gave me a second batch free. Well done New World”

“We visited Crystal Mountain during the week ( school term ) it is a great place with lots to offer and very unusual and interesting things to see. It boasts A Crystal Museum and store, Huge indoor play area, two cafes, carousel rides and a roller coaster, interesting animals, large dinosaur statues and more... Lots of free parking on-site . Ideal for all ages and for kids birthday parties. You get to Interact with most animals and feed them (the animal food is sold at the main entrance Cafe) The indoor play area includes 3 rides ( Carousel, teacup and train), a jumping castle plus a Massive activity area and a separate play area for toddlers Outside activities includes a train ride, roller coaster and tractor ride. The two cafes have a variety of food on their menu and is child friendly, one cafe is situated at the main entrance and the other at the indoor play area. The staff are super super kind ,friendly , interactive and helpful. We noticed a few of the staff cover alot of responsibility of the park and even with all that responsibility they still made our visit so much more fun. A huge thanks to the amazing team namely the young lady that does the train ride and sees to the animals, the young gentleman that operates the indoor rides and oversees the indoor play area and the helpful lady at the cafe who took the time to explain all that we needed to know so that we made the most of our time there. The Crystal Museum store sell so many beautiful and unusual items. Cons: The Main cafe food is substandard but cheap, we didnt try the food at the play area Cafe. When we bought our tickets on Grab One we ensured we bought the full access tickets there was no mention that during the school term week the Rollercoaster and tractor rides do not operate, we only found this out at the cafe counter when we handed our tickets in. I will definitely be going back.”

“Definitely our favourite Indian restaurant. The service impeccable, the staff are just great friendly and helpful, they know their food, the food is outstanding and the atmosphere pleasant and warm. From start to finish the experience is spot on. Tonight we had the Gol Gapa, Gilafi Seekh Kebab, Lamb Madeas and the waiter surprised me with a traditional chicken curry that’s not on the menu, and holy moly! It was outstanding! I don’t know how these guys make the sauces that accompany some of the dishes but they are A-MAZING!!! The chilli the sweetness, everything is perfectly balanced. I can’t rave enough about the food here. If you want a great Indian experience with amazing service go and see these guys.”

“Amazing Thank you for helping us to find best tour. Great job”

“Great guide, collected from the airport. Really knowledgeable of the area.”

“Serene and beautiful waterfall. A peaceful escape from the city hidden away just a five minute walk into the bush. The perfect spot for a walk or quick getaway.”

“I will try to leave the most honest opinion possible for future travelers. after having stayed in many hostels in Auckland Hit Hostel is definitely the hostel where I felt the best.. There are inevitably things that can be unpleasant like the fact of not having windows in the rooms, but the spaces common areas completely fill this gap because they make us feel like we are in a large shared accommodation/ Flat where it is easy to meet people because it is a small hostel. the staff and the types of travelers who stay there are great. The staff do their utmost to keep the place clean even if unfortunately the cleanliness of a hostel also depends on the cleanliness of the travelers staying there at a given time and these are factors that we cannot control.. In any case price/quality ratio Hit hostel is the best you can find.”

“Great place to enjoy yumcha. It is located in Auckland CBD, huge variety of food to choose. Lovely staff, and very fair price. Their dimsum was made freshly, and the desserts were also great.”

“Boathouse Row was the wedding venue of our dreams! It was the first and only venue we looked at because from the moment we arrived on the property, we knew immediately that it was perfect backdrop to our special day. Not only is the venue absolutely stunning, but Lindy is an incredible host – she is bright and bubbly and was very accommodating during the planning stages as well as on the day. She goes above and beyond to make sure things run smoothly and genuinely cares and wants you to have a great experience. Being able to stay the night and wake up for the first time as husband and wife in the very spot you got married the day before also adds to whole experience, we didn't want to leave! Our guests haven’t stopped raving about how perfect it all was, so if you're looking for a venue & host that will make your day unforgettable, look no further. It exceeded all our expectations and more!”

“A very small 15 mnts walk to the view point from the motorway way or area you parked your car. I liked the bush around it especially the narrow thin road. Waterfall is not an worth visiting but the scenery around it makes the experience memorable.”

“This indoor playground is a must to visit with your little ones. It's our first time coming in here and so far the cleanest we have been compared to other indoor playgrounds, cafe has a lot of tables too and you can just watch your children having fun while you enjoy your coffee. My 17 months old definitely had so much fun in here. Looking forward to comeback again.”

“Great Spot , Definitely a destination:) slides are fun and the pools are a perfect temperature, Pays to come at opening time as it can fill up pretty quick on weekends, We celebrated my daughter's 10th birthday and its handy to shops and Helensville for all your needs , And thanks Domino's Pizza for feeding us all! Great fun day all round, Thanks Parakai Springs we'll definitely be back!”

“Beautiful place for walk with kids...”
