Children's entertainment in Hamilton

“Our first time here! Definitely going back soon. Green. Peaceful. Relaxing. There's a gorgeous children's garden with a park and some water features to take a small dip and cool down. Lovely picnic area. Lots to see and great for getting those steps in. Great place!!”

“A wonderful experience at my first Rugby Game watching Gallagher Chiefs, and Western Aust. Fantastic atmosphere, really friendly atmosphere and staff were lovely. Lots of free items handed out - beanies, chair cushions, flags, tshirts, footballs for the Chief's team. Great variety of food/drink stalls at good prices. It was a Star wars theme light show for May the 4th (force). Was a great fun night. Loved it.”

“Had an amazing experience with Blasta Cars. The team was friendly, helpful, and made everything smooth from start to finish. The vehicle was in great condition and the overall service was genuinely professional. Highly recommend them for a hassle-free, positive experience!”

“Victoria Square Park in Cambridge is a lovely central green space that reflects the charm of the town. It’s a well-maintained, peaceful park with wide open lawns perfect for picnics, casual sports, or relaxing with a book. On Saturdays, it comes alive with the farmers' market, bringing together locals and visitors with fresh produce, crafts, and delicious food. The surrounding trees create a beautiful canopy in warmer months, offering shade and a picturesque setting. In winter, the park takes on a different charm—most of the trees shed their leaves, leaving a quiet, open view of the branches and sky. It can feel bare, but there's a certain beauty in that simplicity. The old shed and cricket club add a historic touch, and the public toilets are clean and convenient. While there’s no playground, it remains a favourite spot for families and gatherings. A true gem in the heart of Cambridge.”

“Such an amazing daycare, was super nervous taking my first baby to daycare for the first time but after seeing the daycare and their teachers I felt so much better about leaving her with them. They do such an amazing job and make all the kids feel like they belong. Would definitely recommend this daycare, ten out of ten”

“The Tudor Garden has a lot going on with its statues, poles and buildings. The garden itself is also a work of art.”

“Great smooth and wide paths, ideal for skating and scooter Large unmowed areas full of beautiful wildflowers, good for biodiversity”

“The upgrades to this facility are fantastic. It's clean, the animals are well cared for and happy, and the staff are knowledgeable and friendly. The map is well laid out with plenty of play areas sprinkled throughout, as well as restrooms and snack opportunities. Disability access is decent, but there are some steep areas. The cafe is good, with a smaller outlet next to the playground. There is a decent selection of gluten and dairy free snacks, as well as alternative milks for surprisingly good coffee.”

“Very nice place for family and kids to visit,plenty of room and activities for the kids. Bbq area to cook food. Clean restrooms with plenty of stalls so there are no lines. A lovely view of the lake to be enjoyed by all”

“One of the best places for cherry blossom viewing in Spring”

“A big thankyou to Dr Epona Keller,such a beautiful caring woman. Big loves from me,my kids,and whanau. I'm sure my Chuey,will not forget you. God bless.❤️❤️❤️❤️”

“We were invited to the Special Children's Christmas Party. Awesome venue, lots of indoor space, huge kitchen, plenty of toilets. Kids lived it!”

“Walk my dog here most days, awesome area for daily exercise, only thing that ruins it, are people ripping up the grass on dirtbikes.”

“Can’t go wrong with Robert Harris, you always get a consistent feed. Got the salmon eggs bene and it had a really decent amount of salmon which is rare. The salmon roulade was great and the chips. Coffee is always good. Staff were friendly too.”

“Shout out to Roger. Friendly, knowledgeable bloke in the paint department. Listened to my project and advised me accordingly on everything I needed. Very lucky to have found him on the day I went in.”

“Came during an off-peak time and Jacob was very welcoming for wine tasting and even showed us around the venue. The wine tasting was great and heavily recommended.”

“A very nice Walk along the river , scenic view, easy paveway , good for all ages , not a big park”

“This playground is superb, fairly recently refurbished, although some of the equipment is in need of repair, the flying fox used to be a fun double, but looks like it's been decommissioned. There is an in ground bouncy pad that's been boarded up. Still plenty to do though, water play and slides. There is a pump track around the playground, and a full size BMX track next door. There are also some walking tracks around the lake if you feel like a stroll. Watch out for little kids gravitating towards the water. With the water backdrop it's the most picturesque playground in hamilton for sure! We saw a sign to some toilets behind the netball courts, but unsure if they are open to the public.”

“It was a wonderful experience on the occasion of Matiarki day.lots if fun,a small train ride,cultural deference ,and food is also so delicious.”

“Hayes Paddock is a delightful spot in Hamilton that perfectly balances natural beauty with a touch of local history. The park is beautifully maintained, offering a peaceful retreat with plenty of green space to relax, play, or have a picnic. The walk along the Waikato River is particularly scenic, and the views are simply stunning, especially during sunrise or sunset. What I love most about Hayes Paddock is the sense of community it fosters. The area feels safe and welcoming, with friendly locals and a charming, laid-back atmosphere. The nearby cafes are fantastic for grabbing a coffee or a bite to eat after a leisurely stroll. Whether you're a local or just visiting, Hayes Paddock is a must-visit. It's a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of city life, offering a tranquil setting to unwind and enjoy the beauty of Hamilton. Highly recommend!”

“Amazing place, we had a family Christmas there with 20 people & never felt like we were in each other's way, really keen to go back Would recommend to everyone”
