Children's space in Dunedin

“Big range of variety of gardens and plants. Nice walk to the aviary to see heaps of kākā and parrots. Duck feeding is available near the information center. Lots of other birds to watch around the gardens. Lots of street parking.”

“Went as an international visitor and I think I paid $35 for the whole experience. They have so many exhibit including NZ/Dunedin early history, Maori, "Animal Attic" (mostly animal taxidermy), Maritime (ship models) and People of the World (random assortment of cultures - they even have a mummy). The Planetarium was alright but I went to the Night Sky one which was rather boring to be honest. The science/kids section was fun but a lot of the exhibit needs to be refreshed as they have seen a lot of use. The butterfly garden was very interesting as it is something you don't see often. They also have a cafe onsite but I did not try it. I spent around 3hrs trying to see everything but this place definitely need a few visits if you want to experience everything. My only complaint is that the gift shop does not have many Otago Museum branded things -only magnets and postcard - I was ready to buy more souvenirs, had they had more!”

“Arabella hosted our daughter's birthday party at TimeZone today. She was fantastic! Right from the time of booking, she kept us well updated on the plan for the day. She greeted us warmly on arrival and was very welcoming. Arabella engaged with all the children attending the party, helped them find games to suit their interests and was very patient and kind. Everybody in our group had a great time thanks to her!!”

“Spectacular trees, and nice place to chill out”

“Had an absolute blast there with my whanau. The had a bouncy castle, face painting, lollie scramble and a coloring comp for the kids. ( the coloring was done before we went from their website ) lots of races lots of crashes was super exciting and a wicked awesome time. Awesome work from the team at Beachlands.”

At The Craic Irish Tavern, the menu stays kebab and pita, served with an easygoing pace. Service moves quickly through the morning rush. Sauces stay in check and wraps hold together. Team members keep things friendly and on task.

“Very good place to have a barbecue with big family or friends. Or walk with your dog. And children will be happy to play here.”

“Great for kids of all ages. They have a toddler time on Saturday morning from 9 -10 am which is great for the little ones. I also often go on a Wednesday afternoon when it's quiet. Great price and no extra charge for parents when supervising little ones. You do need grippy socks which they sell there.”

“It's good to see they're controlling some of the bomerea in here - no easy feat. Great job!”

“Great lookout. Beautiful and peaceful. My favourite spot to enjoy fish and chips from Maori Hill takeaways. So many people enjoy their ice cream.”

“Very cool place to relax and watch the world go by.”

“Perfect place for kids to play, Has a fenced playground for younger children and heaps of space and equipment for older kids. The rose garden is beautiful to walk around”

“A super important and helpful community asset”

“It is a lovely big park with a short walk to awesome beach plus a gorgeous coffee cart with local made food”

“This area overlooks the St Kilda beach and can be booked out for events. The entirety of the drive up to Lawyers Head is open to vehicles between 11am and 3pm on weekdays, bollards are closed outside of these times making the area pedestrian only. Bollards are also locked on public holidays.”

“Great walk. Has its easy and not quiet so easy sections on the walk”

“Lots of great activities for kids, well padded playground”

“Almond croissant, potato salad, date scone”

“Always a pleasure . Love the Sunday train”

“Pretty nice winding forest walk, steep in some parts. Seemed to be a bit of a wasp problem higher up currently, but there were warning signs up.”

“An amazing park centrally located in Dunedin. It offers an beautiful and impressive war memorial as well. Its a nice place to have a stroll or just chill down. Worth a visit if you are in the neighborhood.”

“The view from this spot of Dunedin was really amazing.”

“It's a great little park for all ages. Some picnic tables would be brilliant.”

“Great playground, complete with flying fox and a super bumpy slide which my daughter loved”

“Was actually on way to pools long line of traffic only reason for being there but is a clean tidy park.”
