Family entertainment in Christchurch

“We came here for a friend's birthday party and it's a great set up. Lots of different inflatable options for the kids, food and drinks available to buy, but can also byo and lots of tables as well.”

“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.”

“So cool! Good value for money! Had a shuttle if you didn't feel like walking. Lots of cool animals to see. Even got to feed the giraffes! Very ethical place no forcing the animals to interact it's all on there terms. Plenty of very friendly staff and awesome guides.”

“Been playing sports here since they opened. Different owners over the years & price increases as well. Good carparking, Any accidents sorted fast. Fun nights and great refs”

“Great place for food and drinks!! Misceos has an awesome atmosphere and styling. The food is served fast and is always delivered to a high standard. It is best to make a booking for lunch and for larger groups as this is a popular place. There is also a takeaway pizza service. However it can get a little noisy when full”

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

“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!”

“What an outstanding morning, watching early rugby, breakfast and great coffee. Great start to the day. Jasmine was outstanding with her service. Very attentive and nothing was a problem. Always a great team. Look forward to the next game.”

“What an experience. Out for a family dinner to celebrate our anniversary and it honestly couldn't have been better. Brilliant friendly staff, so helpful and onto it. Awesome atmosphere for the kids and us adults. Then the food, top notch and out in great time. You'll definitely be our first choice on family nights out. Thanks so much.”

“Enjoyed my stay here and great food!!”

“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.”

“Wow, such delightful, and HUGE amount of food we are there today. Husband had roast beef, plenty of road veggies with it. I had Mushrooms... With spinach and poached egg. Both meals were lovely”

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

“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.”

“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.”

“I was shopping for my little cousin for Christmas and I was helped out by a lovely staff member his name was Oscar, I didn’t end up buying anything but now I’ll know for next time I come in. I’ll definitely be coming back! Such a friendly guy thank you!!”

“Nice Club this one. Stopped here for lunch and was served up a great meal at very generous prices. They have all the facilities with pool and snooker plus a great gaming room. Just note it is a chartered club so you need to be signed in by a member or an affiliate from another club. Car parking is out front with HWMC on each park. If you want a nice meal and chat with friends and family this is a good place.”

“Beautiful place, larger than most. Its nice to have a dedicated playground for babies, toddlers and small children. Love the team at Wigram Chipmunks they make amazing coffees! the best I've had a long time. We went there for a birthday party and they are an absolute dream to work with, a business that caters to families.”

“Amazing cultural,let us to do our Friday pray,that is matter of respect”

“Walked the dogs. Very hot day. Parking available in shady area. Stuck to the trees for shade. Nice park. Good size. Seating amongst the trees.”

“What an awesome facility and super friendly staff.”

“Mean place to chill out with some bros, but you're at high risk of an angry mother telling you that you're a threat to children and that you simply MUST leave the premises, because a public park is not suitable for any individuals over the age of 11. The individual who threatened to call the authorities on me knows who they are, and they should know what they did wrong. If they still believe that they were in the right, and can do no wrong, I request that they take a long look in the mirror and think, "How did I turn down such a dark and depressing path?" Great experience overall, 10/10, would argue with that Karen again, loved every second of it.”

“Great pub food. Pub basket is great value. Best place to watch the rugby. Or play the pokies”

“Went on a Saturday evening about 7pm, was somewhat quiet. Staff were friendly and table cleared of empty plates fairly quickly. Food was delicious, and the coffee/hot chocolate drinks were very flavoursome and at a decent temperature.”

“We got a pizza & chicken tenders to go. Very tasty.”

“Nick is the best worker. He made us feel so welcome. After a long night out, he was so kind. The rest of the staff was so nice and so friendly. They even gave us some complimentary garlic knots. If I could give them a 10 stars I would! So appreciative of the work they do here! ”

“I eat here at least once a week. I’m a real big supporter of Thai food and I must say the food is absolutely delicious, it’s well priced and the customer service is absolutely first class.”

“An absolute must-visit! The food is simply superb, with standout dishes like the lamb shank, tender and full of rich flavor, the perfectly crisp squid, and the irresistibly crispy pork bites. Every bite is a delight!”

“Speights went out of their way to make a triple birthday dinner super special for my sons. They allowed us to go in earlier and set up decorations and put the 3 cakes in the chiller. They supplied little plates and napkins for them to be served on after dinner Although there was close to 30 people eating the waitress had it all under control and the meals came to the table quickly and all the meals were delicious, with generous sizes.”
