Children's entertainment in New Zealand

“Yesterday we had our first surf class with jorge and alberto. After a quick introduction and some warm ups we got into the water. With the help of those 2, everyone was able to catch some waves. They were lovely motivating and cheering every success, so we had great two hours of surfing!”

“My partner and I went for a fun date to the cave for a new experience and it far exceeded expectations. The quality of the VR and interactive experiences were amazing. We had to problem solve together to progress through the game. Such a cool idea for couples or groups. And Chayse who was looking after us was a legend.”

“Thankyou to all the amazing team that has supported my 2 kids from babies through to school aged i cannot recommend enough for the love and support we have felt over the years and the opportunities the kids have gotten to be apart of. Thankyou again❤️”

“James is pretty swag at guitar hero. He did his thing. W James w time zone !! Great place”

“A fantastic, hands-on experience for all ages! We had such a great time at this museum. It was incredibly interactive with loads of fun things to do, and we learnt so much along the way. The staff were friendly and helpful, and everything was really well set up—perfect for curious minds of all ages. It’s an especially great place for kids, and we can’t wait to come back when our baby is old enough to get involved too!”

The Old Mill runs with a simple, bistro-style menu and a relaxed feel. Service stays present without fuss. Good value shows in the serve sizes. Pricing lines up with the offer. Meals land promptly at...

“Stayed here for work purposes and it was one of the best stays I've had in Hawke's Bay! Kate was great to work with during the booking process and made sure our group was well looked after! The house was clean, big, and modern and had everything you needed. I would definitely come back again :)”

“We have been shopping at baby on the move for four years now and can only say positive things about our experience. Jess and her team have provided valuable support and education across the whole parenting journey. From pre to post natal care for mums... tips and tricks for unsettled newborns (if you know you know)... capsule, pram and carseat advice.. feeding in every shape and form... and everything in between. They will definitely go the extra mile to make sure your needs are met.”

“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.”

“Beautiful venue and great service. An asset to the dance community.”

“My daughter Akane Andrea loved every minute with all teachers and little friends. While trusting somebody with your little precious prince or princess wellbeing when you not there can prove challenhimg for some, I knew mine was safe and happy when every morning I was asked with passion if today was a school day. Can they do better? Sure, everybody can. Do they give 100% to ensure all kids are looked after, feel safe and loved? They do. There wasn't any day I was worried while she was at school and this, if you knew me or my wife, says it all!”

“AUM is one of the best festivals in New Zealand. Their passion for quality sound, stage design and lights, and entertaining artwork is fantastic. The location is perfect and the community is so friendly. I have never been to another festival in NZ which feels so fun and relaxing. I can't think of a better festival to be at in summer.”

“I really like this school. My child is well taken care of here. The receptionist, Michelle, is very friendly and always responds promptly to any questions or concerns. The teachers at the school are patient and loving towards the children. I can see my child's different growth through the Montessori learning method. The school is also very attentive, which makes me very satisfied.”

“My son had his birthday party here on Saturday and it was an absolute hit! The kids all had a blast & it was suitable for a range of abilities from beginner onwards. The staff were super friendly & the hire gear was great quality & the kids loved trying out the different scooters. The party was super chill to organise as a mum & I appreciated the table for the party food, very handy.”

“Volunteers were very kind. They were happy to explain history of this house.”

“The teachers Janaki, Aimy, and Lorinda in babies room, along with the other caregivers at BestStart Stoddard Road, are truly wonderful. Their genuine love and care shine through in every interaction, making a heartfelt difference in the lives of the children and whanau. The facilities are up to the mark and the learning resources are very engaging too.”

“Our daughter has been going here since she was about 3 and a half months. It was a very big decision for us and we are glad we chose this place. It is out of the way for us now, but we are continuing here because she is very happy and enjoys and learns with her wonderful teachers and friends. Would highly recommend Beststart Parnell :)”

“I have been really happy and impressed with Beds4u Newmarket. Kourosh was very helpful and kept me well informed throughout the process of purchasing my bed. My bed was delivered on the right day and was even carried up the stairs for me which I really appreciated. Highly recommend and thanks again!”

“We had a great transition period and my daughter has been attending Mt Wellies since the beginning of the year. We absolutely love this place and the sole reason comes down to the amazing kaimahi. If you want to send your child to a place where they are looked after and valued as you do at home then Mt Wellies is the place!”

“More than a dance school, it’s a dance family. My girls absolutely love dancing here, would highly recommend to both boys and girls.”

“Brought a group of 8 year olds for a birthday escape room adventure. It was so good! Really smoothly run. The room was super well designed, and the clues were just right for nudging us along when we got stuck. We had heaps of fun and will be back.”

“We loved our family outing at Escape Quest. The staff, and in particular Bradley, were welcoming and authentic, and the Escape Room had a good mix of logical and cryptic clues to keep us engaged. The right mix of challenging and do-able. I liked that the rooms were locally designed by real people, too. Thanks team!”

“Debbie and the Team are great. Nice small classes means 1 on 1 time with the teachers and Everyone is super friendly.”

“Kids Cove is a amazing centre. My son has been attending the centre for a year and a half and I am grateful for the time , effort, love and care that was given to him. Especially the Storytellers team, Teacher Shuchie and her team have done an amazing job teaching my son, he comes home every day using big words like Translucent and Transparent and explaining to me what those words mean. Those are just a simple example of how much my son has thrived intellectually and emotionally at Kids Cove.”

“Cornwall Park looks absolutely stunning during cherry blossom season! The trees are full of delicate pink blooms, and it’s such a peaceful, scenic place to walk around or take photos. However, it can get very crowded on weekends with lots of people doing photoshoots. I’d suggest visiting on a weekday or early morning if you want a quieter experience and better photos. Definitely worth the visit!”
