Children's entertainment in Hamilton

“Me and my girlfriend went to this place and did the bloodstone keep and it was personally the most high quality escape room I have ever been too. We felt very integrated into the story, the puzzle were meaning full and very interactive. The props were amazing. Hints were good and the staff was truly amazing (there was even a puppy while we were waiting which was so cool!!) The staff really added to the story of the rooms (getting into character which I found really cool and funny from sitting at a table nearby.) By far one of my top experiences with reasonable difficulty to do with people. Would recommend highly and 100% worth the price. We only planned to go once on our 2 week trip but with our experience today we will be making a second trip”

“New Shoots is a great daycare. My kids have allergies and this has never been an issue for the staff. My kids love going to daycare, always have a great day. The fact they have days off site is fantastic. My son loves Explorers. So good for them.”

“Thank you Heyam for the amazing haircut going from long hair to a short bob she was so patient with making sure we were happy with the length first before going ahead and so lovely. Always cuts my fringe perfectly too and doesn’t rush. Will definitely come again!”

“3 of our children have attended Big Hugz. 2 of them with neurodivergence and our youngest with a physical disability. Yvonne and her team are and have been amazing throughout our daycare journey and our children that have maintained close relationships with their teachers. Would 1000% recommend if you're looking for an intimate setting with smaller numbers for your children.”

“The only thing bad about Raglan Boat Charters is that eventually it'll end and you'll have to go home - and that will be a sad time. Raglan Boat Charters is a great experience. The staff are amazing, friendly, informative, helpful, will bend over backwards to help you out or get you on a tour. We did the sunset tour on a perfect night and it was a blast. In a truly Kiwi experince, Fish and Chips were delivered before we left - the perfect entree to what was to come. We took a tikitour around the Raglan harbour where the sights were enjoyed and the history of the harbour explained. Birdlife was plentiful, as were the stingray! The Captain gave us a few of his secret fishing spots - but you have to do the tour if you want to find out more about that. As we cruised around, a wicked soundtrack of sing-along party hits played and created a really fun atmosphere. The cruise was more than 90 minutes - incredible value for money and an experience you'll be wanting to repeat quickly! 10 stars.”

“As a person training here for about two years and having achieved his brown belt recently, i believe this is would change your life if you were passionate and dedicated enough. The dojo is big and sizeable along with some mirrors, mats, bleachers and a toilet. The teachers are skillful and observant, i believe that the three main teachers at the dojo are the best in the region. 5 star dojo.”

“We are a couple aged 30 and 31 and decided to go today for the first time. We thought we were going to ride the VR mechanical rides, but we learned about and were convinced to do the "free roam" multi-person battle games upstairs. It's cordless! We had a great time. We had lots of fun and adventure and victory. The systems are very easy to use. The timing is plenty. The price may seem a bit expensive but it's worth the experience. The staff was friendly, inviting, and supportive. Thanks for the experience. We will probably be back soon. Cheers!”

“We really enjoyed our time here. The fully fenced and secured play area is perfect for younger children, and the other areas have so much to explore. Our little one really enjoyed the water plays, and we ended spending more time than planned.”

“We had a fantastic day here, stayed for about two and a half hours. There is so much to do we could have easily stayed longer!! Will definitely be back, thanks Dave for sharing all your knowledge with us!!”

“Busy hands Montessori is an amazing place. All the teachers are very kind and friendly. Our daughter had great time in Busy hands Montessori. Our daughter learned many things happily in the Montessori. And she learned how to handle the emotions, respect each other and to be kind to others. All the teachers doing great work and they love all the children. And our daughter had a great time with them in Busy hands Montessori.”

“Amazing facility with great community vibe. Massive out door area with real grass and animals for children to interact with. My child loves going every day”

“Good experience - Reception lady was nice and helpful, We did the dairy room, had a great time - good interaction level.”

“My son has being coming to Hazlemere for a couple of years, and we are genuinely so sad for when he starts school. The kaiako are absolutely incredible and have such passion for what they do. My son has absolutely thrived and it has helped him become independent and ready for school. Highly recommend for any parents.”

“Page is a queen, don’t play w meeeee. give her a pay rise + 2 week all expense paid holiday to bali. made our experience so perfect”

“This is a great nature walk for people of all ages and great for dog owners except those who don't adhere to the rules by letting there dogs of the leash which I saw today while walking my dog it only takes one incident of an attack of any kind and legislation will bank dogs from entering the park there are plenty of signs informing dog owners that dogs must be on a leash at all times while in the park and for those few who ignore this simple rule jeopardize the park for the rest of us dog owners who use the place to exercise our pets thanks lady you know who you are”

“Haven't been. Hear great things about the place.thank you”

“Such a unique place at the heart of Hamilton! I initially thought this would like any other botanical gardens but I was wrong. The concept of having different themed gardens (Japanese, Italian, Chinese, Indian) was quite refreshing to see and that made the whole experience unique and engaging throughout the visit. Highly recommend if you’re looking to take professional photos as the garden has a lot of color and diverse options.”

“We visited Ninja Hamilton and I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I want to extend a big thank you to the team. They were incredibly supportive and so friendly. They made the entire experience better.​This is a fantastic place, and I highly recommend a visit. It's the perfect outing, even if it's a rainy day.”

“One of the best playground , much better than playgrounds in Auckland . Well maintained too”

“Amazing park. Actually I think it’s the best. Whoever Jim was he’s solid. Thank you! Thanks to the cleaners or boys keeping that park in mint condition there too doing a great job. Son was so happy.”

“Just ate at the cafe. Wood fired pizza was excellent, enjoyed a Greek Salad. A nice place to spend the evening, and have a drink after a day of hiking. A beautiful waterfall at the bottom of the drive. Would definitely pop round again!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had such a great time at Confinement Escape Room! We did the Haunted House room and it was such a fun and exciting experience. A special shout-out to Luca — he was absolutely amazing! He was so kind, welcoming, and lovely, which made the whole experience even better. I’d highly recommend this escape room to anyone looking for a fun challenge — we’ll definitely be back!”

“Awesome place a bit busy now and then but overall very nice Great for trying to teach kids the road rules (keep to the left)”

“Tony isn’t just the best club owner in Hamilton he’s the best in New Zealand! Fantastic facility that caters for everyone young, old and everything in between. The staff are welcoming and super supportive. The environment is the perfect family friendly gym to be a part of! 10/10 community”

“Excellent for all ages!! Neat and safe, big Open space grasslands Cafe next door, mini golf option. One of thee best playgrounds in Hamilton and we now frequent weekly. Worth visiting for sure”

“Our local park, got everything you need for a park. Simple and fun, plenty parking spots.”
