Family entertainment in Dunedin

“Loved this!!! Such a great experience, would totally recommend. The staff member who we dealt with (wish I could remember his name) was such a laugh, and the perfect person for the job.”

“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.”

“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!!”

On the plate at ADJØ, the idea is coffee-and-cabinet and well executed. Cabinet bakes and slices round out the stop. A family‑friendly feel comes through naturally. Front‑of‑house runs with calm, helpful energy.

“Took my moko there. Love the ambience and enjoyed the movie. Although when purchasing tickets, would be good if we could see how long the movie is. I wasn't expecting Jurassic Park to be so long.”

“Spectacular trees, and nice place to chill out”

“Nice setting for a meal, beautiful gardens to go wander around and spend some time with family. Food was superb, I think they didn't had their regular front of house team on as service was a little unsure of themselves. The brisket was top notch and filling. Good size portion for the price.”

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!”

“Many thanks for an extremely well run holiday skating lessons. Very impressed. Highly recommend people to attend if it's being run again. Grandkids loved it.”

“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.”

La Cueva Del Buro favours a Mex-style line-up with clear, tidy flavours. A sensible spend for the quality. Plates offer plenty without tipping heavy. Service stays present without fuss. Salsas lift th...

“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”

“Heaps of fun. Great atmosphere. A little pricy at an average of $20 per person.”

“Absolutely amazing views. This place is amazing. The hosts are very welcoming and friendly. We enjoyed our stay. Will prefer this place to stay if visit Dunedin area again.”

“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”

“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.”

“Very friendly and helpful. I need help with the bus timetable and Markus was so helpful. Thank you Markus I got to everything I wanted to do on the buses you suggested”

“We stopped into the Reading Cinemas on the Octogon yesterday. It was a good day for catching a movie. We were at the afternoon session so it wasn't busy and we pretty much had the cinema to ourselves. The service was excellent. We had a light lunch and the usual popcon for the movie. Very comfy seats in the premium theatre our movie screened in. The cinema and foyer areas were really clean and tidy. Overall was an awesome cinema experience!”

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

“The house was clean and well kept. I loved the espresso machine in the kitchen! The living room and kitchen are both large and the house is large enough to comfortably fit 4 or 5 people for the night.”
