Children's entertainment in Christchurch

“Tranquil and Private park for the residents to enjoy. Nice benches for taking in the surroundings or having a moment of reflection. Comes with average toilets and a small playground with drinking fountain on the other side.”

“Like wandering through a tidy apocalypse.”

“Great park and also a great place to get fresh water !”

“Hannah was exceptional, she was super friendly and helpful! Kids loved her, we will definitely be back :)”

“I saw the F1 movie in the DBox motion seats and I was emotionally overwhelmed. Whoever programmed the seat movements really put their all into it. It just be movie dependent but that was the single most immersive movie experience I've had in a long time. The movie itself was fine.”

“We celebrated my son 8th birthday here. Amber our host was so helpful and has made the experience pleasant and smooth. Thank you!”

“We have recently had our daughter’s 5th birthday at Launch Pad and it was fantastic! Having access to a child friendly space for the duration, being able to bring in your own food and drinks made it nice and easy. We were very pleased with the set up and ease for the party! They take care of the clean up as well!”

The kitchen at Joe's Garage Wigram takes a burger‑led path and lets the food speak. Music and pace keep a casual tone. Front‑of‑house runs with calm, helpful energy. Orders move at a steady pace. Buns...

The kitchen at The Old Vicarage Cafe, Restaurant & Bar takes a breakfast‑and‑brunch path and lets the food speak. Sweets lean classic and not overly rich. Breakfast plates are tidy and satisfying. The team keeps things friendly and organised.

Tai Tapu Hotel Restaurant, Bar & Function Venue keeps things coffee‑and‑cabinet and focused on flavour. Pricing lines up with the offer. Portions are generous yet well judged. Service stays present without fuss.

“It was quite big and a lot room to move around”

“Awesome outdoor garden mext to Te Ara Atea Rolleston new library with various plants and small sculptures.”

“A lovely space rice in the middle of Hornby”

“Always an amazing location! Plenty of space indoors and outdoors for any venue hire needs. The people who run it are wonderful, very helpful and skilled in running events.”

“The best rugby! It was awesome to see the Crusaders Team training. Great people running for a good cause, "The Long Run". So nice to see a big community give their best to support the ones in need. I can't wait to be there next time!”

“very peaceful close to riccarton rd”

“Great day out at the twin peaks car show. Wether held up some great classics on display.”

“Fabulous country racecourse. Always a fun day out. Lots of places to park up with a picnic or sit in the stand. Exciting times at the races if you go to Rangiora racecourse”

“Great sports park to walk in. No benches but fantastic to have a safe walk/run area. They have soccer in winter and I think I saw the groundsman mowing the lawn for cricket the other day. Nice open space surrounded by lots of beautiful housing”

“Friendly service, easy parking, open Saturdays, great card selection. Great shop to browse amd find a special gift.”

“Good small park for walking dogs. They also added a nice 300m track, without too many holes. Great place to practice rugby. Quite far from the road and sheltered with trees making this park nice and relaxing. It's not very busy either and it had a nice playground. The footpath does need some repairs because when it rains there is a massive puddle where you have to go in the muddy grass to go around it, so not ideal. But other things make up for this.”

“Great location for our one night stay, the hedges provided brilliant shelter from the strong winds. The children there made great use of the playground. Good showers even though they are not new. Small swimming pool for the children would be so welcome today in the Nor'wester 31 degrees.”

“My son is enjoying while he is in school and have the opportunity to play with his colleagues. Salisbury Best Start is the best place because it is very neat and clean also very spacious for kids who love to play outdoor.”

“The team here support the local LEGO group, if you're after LEGO, look no further. On multiple occasions I have contacted them to express interest in yet to be released sets. They have taken down my contact details, set the item aside when stock came in, then called me back to let me know it's ready. Kudos to whatever system to they're using to keep track of these requests, as sometimes the products haven't reached NZ until months after my initial contact. To top it all off they even ensure you get your desired minifig in the blind bags. The prices can be a little higher than the likes of Kmart or The Warehouse, but it's worth it.”

“There are secrets to find in Matawai Park, Rangiora, if you are observant enough to find them.”

“Pretty park, great for walking around.”

“Dog here, this is a great little park with good spots for pee mail. There is a few things about but no lights. It is a long thin small park and can get busy there is a small pond too but the ducks do not want to be sniffed. Also something funny happens with the pond as it is only above leg depth on the ducks but I was swimming. Anyway apart from some stuck up ducks it is pretty social and safe down a dead end road and away from sports fields. Lights are not a problem for me I am black and my nose works in the dark. My owner spent about 10 minutes calling a tractor tyre called leo to him. I could not figure out why and eventually tapped him on the back of the leg to say the tyre is not coming. Boy did he jump, but that tyre must have been dead like I get when I see a rabbit, none here tho. Recommend will do again.”

“Good place for a good walking exercise.”

“Everyday go to place. Nice, clean and pretty good in size. There is a bike track and 2 kids playground as well.”

“5 stars! I would happily pay double the ticket price. Our kids were enthralled as were the adults. This review is based on the event and the lights being absolutely incredible. Its a shame some people give 1 star reviews because of 1 bad staff member. We interacted with about 50 people, they were all nice”
