Entertainment business in Christchurch

“Loved heading there today on a drizzly day following a three day tramp at Island Hills Station. Great variety of pools of different temperatures, and although extremely busy, there was plenty of space for everyone. Pretty expensive entry prices, so have to go for a whole day if taking the family. Discounted entry price for AA members.”

“Very clean and tidy Plenty of great food and beverage options Staff were helpful friendly and accommodating”

“If you would like to enjoy a good movie in the atmosphere of lux and comfort, pay a visit to Silky Otter Wigram, which does stand out vs Hoyts. I have been there twice for Jurassic Park Rebirth and Tron Ares, loved everything - bottomless popcorn with a ticket price of $15 on Mondays, fine food and drinks, comfortable leather recliner seats, customer service excellence, the list can go on. No hassle with car parking. Highly recommend. Five Stars”

Miro delivers a coffee‑and‑cabinet line‑up that’s straight to the point. Eggs land on point and toast keeps its crunch. Service stays present without fuss. Wait times are contained even when busy.

“What a great experience. Very cool barman who presented us with hot water bottles upon arrival, helped us choose a table and put the heater on above us. He looked after us so well and because of him we stayed a lot longer than we had intended and spent a lot more than we would have.”

“Very nice place! The service was excellent! The room was clean, bed comfortable. We had a very nice time. Decoration is “old”, but well maintained and it’s what keeps the character of the place. The restaurant is good as well! Lamb was awesome! You should definitely stay there if you pass by Christchurch.”

“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!!!!”

“We’ve had the BEST pizza in NZ here so far! It's a lovely restaurant with a unique history and good food. It's a must-visit when in Lincoln. Be aware that they’re not open every night.”

“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.”

“Great location for an airport hotel and surprisingly great food great view and wonderful staff. Highly recommend this as a hotel to stay before or after your flight. Beds were very comfortable and spacious rooms with good showers. Buffet breakfast is a must with great selections and as a platinum member we were given barista coffee. Unfortunately there wasn’t an executive lounge for us but still a great hotel.”

“I really enjoy the Hoyts Lux experience. Its obvious the higher end of expense but we use as a treat every now and then. What i particularly enjoy is the personalised attention from when you are greeted at the door right through to ordering food and drinks. Its nice to feel special once in a while sitting in a recliner, drinking a cold alcoholic beverage and waiting for the sliders to arrive. Its definitely the highlight of my week.”

“Friendly speedy service as movie had just started and hostess even offered to torch us into cinema to be seated incase it was dark.. we made it in and enjoyed the movie Kangaroo.”

“Live this place. Friendly staff. Clean theater Our local. Great films And special events”

“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.”

“Great little pop up museum while the main one is worked on”

“Great playground with an excellent flying fox, can't wait until the playing field next door is ready to play some footie”

“Elbee events felt like home. We’re very proud to have them as part of our big day. They were very accomodating to our busy wedding schedule and provided so much care during the whole process. We’d love to have their expertise again.”

“Went here for a 21st party! Was such a great venue option, great indoor and outdoor spaces!”

“Saville Creek changed my life. My entire view of everything that exists in this world, in fact, even in the entire universe. I can never look at anything I know the same way again. Saville Creek represents emotions that most humans could never understand. But I can. Thanks to this creek I was awakened to many things previously considered unimaginable . Thank you for this exquisite creek, I will never forget this experience.”

“We have been to Nut Point Centre more than 20 times over many years. John is an exceptional host, always extremely welcoming and provides a wide selection for supper. A great and intimate venue for a range of concerts.”

“This is the cutest little boutique movie theater with only 15 seats! I loved my visit. It's indoors and nice and warm with blankets as an option, just in case you need it. You can get food and drinks from The Lab and take them through into the cinema. I highly recommend that anyone check it out. I'll be back for sure. Lots of parking and toilets nearby.”

“Really good place. Awesome atmosphere, food and drinks available, helpful and lovely staff. Was a great night!”

“Wonderful place to bring family and friends! We had an (arctic) blast last time we went, had a lot to do and see with all the activities and shows althroughout. Please note though that rides do have a height requirement which they are a bit strict with for safety reasons. The rest are pretty accessible to the young and young at heart. A bit pricey but you doget a lot of enjoyment and knowledge out of it.”

“Incredible medium cooked sirloin and gratin! Absolutely perfect! Served by Philippe who was very knowledgeable and provided a great wine recommendation to complement my meal. I overheard him talking with another table and he had excellent knowledge to share. The steak was easily the best I’ve ever had!”

“Just landed in Christchurch and headed straight to the restaurant. The food is authentic with great service! If you are looking for Asian food, especially Taiwanese street food that brings to the table. You are going to love it! Highly recommend if you travel around Christchurch!”

“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 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 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.”

“Wouldnt ride anywhere else, absolute quality instruction with fantastic well cared for horses. They even offer riders the opportunity to compete on their horses which is awesome. You not only learn how to ride, you learn everything from horse mastership, grooming , how to lunge correctly etc.”
