Children's entertainment center in Christchurch

“We visited a lot of daycares in the area and chose the YMCA because we loved the community feel. The kids are always out and about, taking part in activities and visiting places like the gym, library and park. Our daughter took some time settling in but the teachers have been wonderful with her and now she has really found her feet and has made some great friends. We love the Y :)”

“This was so much fun! The team were so nice and accomodating with the extra things we needed for my dad to enjoy his time there as well. Thank you for a fun experience!”

“We played Echoes of the Damned on Monday morning and absolutely loved it! The 9/10 scare rating lived up to the hype – pretty intense, especially for my partner – but it made the experience even more thrilling. Great atmosphere, clever puzzles, and plenty of scares. Highly recommend for horror fans!”

“We had a fantastic time here! We did the Psycho Motel & Bunker rooms and both were tricky but we all had so much fun and can't wait to come back. Staff were happy, friendly & super welcoming. We highly recommend Escape Rooms! :)”

“Bumblebees is part of our lifestyle now and the baby hasn’t even started yet. It’s an easy and good vibe here. Only have to ask the kids to put their shoes on once when it’s time for Bumblebees.”

“Hats off to an employee, Harper completely!! My friend and I came down for a weekend and basically spent both evenings here purely because Harper made our time there unforgettable!!!!! She made sure our drinks were amazing, food was delicious, our golf games hilarious and the arcade games working! (We had a couple not work on us lol) I really thank Harper for her hospitality towards us and cannot hope and pray enough that she's there next time we're down here. To future patrons of this location, trust Harper there”

“Gemma is an absolute gem (pun intended). Not many people would be so enthusiastic about hosting a bunch of seven-year-olds but she absolutely nailed it. Thanks for making my son’s birthday super special, us parents were already over it and she stepped up big time. All of your staff deserve a pay rise, bunch of legends”

“Rachel took our school through the session with our students and then we did the PLD after school which gave us quick and easy, yet meaningful ideas which link so well to critical thinking skills. As a staff we were engaged and the choice of activities to match different age groups were appreciated, especially that we could implement them straight into our classes the next day. So much fun and a great way to teambuild too. Bring on the creativity!”

“We had coffee/tea and cake in the lounge, and it was superb. A very nice place to sit in the sun and enjoy life and some history. The staff were fantastic and passionate. Thanks!”

“Highly recommended for everyone in the family. A beautiful free (donations are welcome) museum, filled with far more aircrafts than we initially expected. Lots to read and discover, displays were well put together and the pacing through the exhibits is perfect. If you need a break, there is a simple cafe, a lovely little gift shop and peaceful grounds. Wish we had more time to explore this past visit. We will have to set aside more time the next visit!”

“I have learned from Reuben for approximately 15 years. Himself & the teaching team at Salsa Latina have always been kind, welcoming & make you feel at home. Level of teaching is great, always leave class feeling like you have accomplished what was taught & plenty of opportunity is given to practice what is being taught. A great variety of classes/styles are on offer. Can not recommend Salsa Latina enough. You are literally learning from one of the best ☺️”

“I and my son just strolling around the hagley till we found this stunning place which we decided to have a look inside,been here already for a long time in nz but it was my first time to went inside that place and it was amazing,loves those different sort of plants.please check it out if you have time .☺️cant upload video as it was too long.”

“Just spent 5 days at Southern Cross Hospital Christchurch. Very professional, caring and friendly staff. Awesome atmosphere and comes across as a happy team.”

“Great fun had by our group!!! Youngest being 5 oldest 72 years Will be back”

“I can’t recommend the lead climbing course with Will highly enough. I’d done the course before and the instructor was really knowledgeable, but found the information a bit overwhelming. This time, Will paced the learning really well and gave us heaps of hands-on practice, which made all the difference. By the time we made it onto the crag at the end of the second course, we all felt confident, safe, and comfortable lead climbing and cleaning. Will’s a fantastic instructor—friendly, fun, and incredibly knowledgeable—but what stood out most was his ability to teach in a way that supports genuine understanding and long-term retention. He doesn’t just tell you what to do—he helps you understand why you're doing it, which made everything click. Loved it from start to finish and would absolutely recommend to anyone wanting to build solid skills and confidence in the centre as well as on the rock.”

“The hall is very clean and huge. It can handle more events and the centre can accommodate a huge number of people. Has securities so it can help to keep children sage and behave.”

“Beautiful place to visit. Lots of pretty rocks and gems to find, beautiful views. Also, lots of ignorant people are getting waaay to close to the water. I'm surprised more people aren't swept away. Whoever is in charge needs to hurry up and fix the toilets. The portaloos are disgusting!”

“Really nice ground, good practice area and and parents can sit and watch. Enough place for car parking.”

“Our room was clean, modern, and had everything we needed. It's a busy area but still quiet. Walking distance to a really nice mall and McDonald's. The people running it are very nice and helpful. I definetly recommend staying here. We used points to stay, but the regular price is really good!!!!”

“Really well set up and modern rooms”

“We hold gym astics classes here in the Sports Hall... its clean tidy and warm perfect for gymnastics :)”

“This has always been and continues to be a great community facility, thanks to all the dedicated people who work and provide all the great services and information to visitors/residents of our community, including my personal favorite, Sam and crew @ Computer Tech help. Sincere thanks to Hornby Community Centre.”

“I am so happy to have found this beautiful hall with its truly exceptional custodian. What a pleasure to find a hall that is immaculately kept, bright and fresh, generously supplied, community focused, and easy to use in every way. Judith was so available and helpful and made the whole arrangement easy for us in ways that went far beyond my expectations. I will look forward to using this venue again, for sure.”

“Great fun for all ages. My daughters loved the pony rides. They were a bit nervous, but the people working the pony rides were so nice and made my girls comfortable and have an awesome time. Lots of other beautiful and interesting animals to see and feed.”

“My favorite cinema in Christchurch. Titan luxe is a great experience - sound is amazing, the seats are comfortable, and the food meets expectations. Can't wait to go here again.”

“An amazing place for kids, teens and even adults. A crazy selection of different activities there. Will definitely be back again.”

“Lovley experience, Went and watched ballet here. Perfect temperature inside. Sound quality was top notch. Decent leg room, good viewing and comfortable seating. Half time the shop opened which was handy to get a ice cream.”

“Great place for family activities. Highly recommended the Culture Fest for everyone”

“Great location as my son needed surgery at Southern Cross Hospital which was just down the road , easy check in and check out, rooms, bathroom very clean and due to location being on a main road I thought the traffic would keep us up but didn’t at all, also extra bonus it has 3 bedrooms so my son, myself and parents all got their own room. Thank you.”
