Children's entertainment in New Zealand

“Great little reserve to take the kids to. It has a cute little playground, some nice flat fields, a little scooter track and a half basketball court. Plenty of unpaid off street parking is available. Good place to come for a picnic and bring the dog!”

“Beautiful views of the harbor bridge and the city sky tower. Great picnic spot. Love the forest walks.”

“⸻ This playground features many snake-like slides, and my son had a great time weaving through the various tunnels and pipes. The seaside location offers beautiful views, and there’s plenty of sand to play in. Overall, it’s a fantastic place for kids to explore and enjoy!”

“A magnitic for visitors from near and far. This is the most famous and popular beach in Auckland. Always packed. You can try the eateries along Tamaki Drive. There is two toilets. There is also a playground. There is a police station at the intersection. Always lock your car and don't show any valuables.”

“Came to this beach on labour monday. Its very beautiful and not packed with people.”

“Neat, tidy and spacious piece of nature at the Central. Even an ocean view included ) Good for the unleashed dog walks and the active entertaments.”

“Amazing service ! Had so much fun and very accommodating. We have 6 children ages 4-13 and she made sure to accommodate to them all. So much fun for them as well as us parents. Definitely recommend. Also the lasertag space is the perfect size, not too small yet not too big.”

“My mom and I were in Auckland for a few days and wanted to go see a play and we ended up getting tickets to White Men. The venue was gorgeous, the show was great, and overall it was just a lovely atmosphere! If either of us ever go back to Auckland, we will definitely be looking to see another show here! Highly recommend!”

“Plenty of activities on during the month. Keep up the good work.”

“We had our end of season Hockey at Laserforce, and had 2 hours unlimited lasertag. It was amazing, the kids and adults all loved it. It's such a big space with an upstairs and downstairs. Everything is explained well and the staff are great. We were able to bring in outside foods and had Pizza Hut delivered from just around the road and brought in other drinks and foods. All and all I recommend this for a kids party or team building activity.”

“Highly recommended!! Hired this hall for a first birthday in the weekend and it was such a beautiful venue. Easy to hire, communication was quick and very efficient. Very easy to find if you are using the google maps. We hired the main hall and small meeting room next to the kitchen and the kitchen we also added the Full stage and AV package. We were given a video with instructions on how to use the Full AV and it was very informative and very easy to follow. For someone who don’t know anything about AVs, we had no problem at all and everything worked out well. Very happy!! Photos below…”

“Friendly and helpful staff. Lots to keep the kids busy and occupied.”

“We had such an amazing time on the fire truck! The team were able to secure us a booking with short notice, and were flexible with what we wanted. They communicated with us well and everything went off without a hitch! The experience on the bus was fantastic, drinks are well priced and yum. The sound system is fab and we were blasting our tunes the entire time. Such an awesome way to make an event special, or add some extra flair getting from A to B. We were so well looked after and our entire group were blown away with the quality of service and how easy everything was. Would highly reccomend! The price is totally worth it for all the fun you get!”

“Great facilities for performances and classes. Staff are helpful and friendly.”

“I recently purchased a table from Oak Furniture Store, and I couldn't be more pleased! It's been fantastic, especially in small spaces, where its multifunctional design really shines. Whether I'm using it for dining or as a workspace, it adapts perfectly. The setup was a breeze with the easy-to-follow instructions, making the whole process hassle-free. Highly recommend this table for anyone looking for both style and practicality!”

“Superbly restored historic building in park-like grounds. Lovely cafe & arts display too!”

“Amazing service and beautiful quality of all their products. This is the first store that my husband and I have been to where the owners have been so incredibly helpful and so kind. In response to this we have decided to purchase the bulk of what we need for our baby as we have seen first hand the fine quality of absolutely everything they stock in store plus the respect we have in the store owners.”

“Love this place. The staff was so nice.”

“Saw "The Play that goes wrong" here. Absolutely fantastic, I haven't laughed this hard in ages, I may have also snorted. Would recommend to everyone. Also great intimate theatre with comfy seats. Thanks Waterfront, great evening.”

“Legendary, super fun experience with incredibly helpful staff. Special shout-out to Raj and Avin! We only found out about the student discounts after paying, and they went out of their way to process a refund for us. Truly appreciated. Highly recommend.”

“Very nice wooden dance floor in the hall. It's not a huge hall so great for small to medium sized events, maybe max about 50 people.”

“my moko is new to this place, staff are always welcoming a cross section of mum's dad's & grand careers as well... the children have fun, there's so much variety of activities to do here.... very popular place...”

“Definitely recommend. Was a great venue to host my son’s 5th birthday party. Perfect space for the kids to play on the playground and there was a room for us to have a bouncy castle as well. Was easy and simple to book and had no issues at all :)”

“Absolutely loved my experience with Adrian and Naomi! Loved the different atmospheres of the whole experience within the Te Uru Gallery along with the workspaces that really intrigued both myself and our children of Henderson South School!”

“Bought an O'Neill wetsuit from the store, the guys there were very friendly and really easy to buy from. Never been to the store before, it has a huge amount of choice of clothes for surf and land and has kids wetsuits - great shop!! Thanks guys! :)”

“We have just started our 10 month old here and have been overwhelmed by how caring, friendly and supportive the staff have all been. They have taken so much time to make sure she is comfortable and is looked after very well. It's a lovely atmosphere to go into, always calm but the children always have activities and things to do. The teachers work well as a team and are very thorough with their processes. As a first time parent it feels great to leave my baby in not just capable but loving hands where I know she is happy all day . Thank you”

“Absolute amazing place. We had my sons birthday there and everyone loved it. Highly recommend And the starwars lego up the very top awesome. Will be going back”

“I would like to thank the wonderful team at The Learning Corner for teaching, guiding, mentoring and taking care of our daughter from February to April 2025, when she transitioned to Primary School age. My daughter was enthusiastic about going to the Learning Corner and had lots to speak about when she would come home every day - about her friends and particularly all her teachers. She loved all the activites, fun programmes and games at this insitituion. Most importantly she felt loved and felt safe at the Learning Corner. She enjoyed, grew and matured under their able guidance and their efforts together with the wonderful team of teachers and staff. We were blessed to have your support and encouragement, as a new family settling into New Zealand academic system and life. We are immensely grateful for every blessing that we have received from The Learning Corner.”

“Awesome place for kids’ parties! We had so much fun at Timezone. A special shout-out to our lovely host, Marcus — he was incredibly friendly, attentive, and did an amazing job supervising the children. He also offered great support to parents and made everyone feel welcome. Highly recommended!”

“We rate this daycare so highly, our daughter is nearly 3 and has been going since she was 10 months old. The teachers and staff are so welcome and nurturing, our daughter absolutely adores them all and loves going. It’s amazing to see how well children can succeed in such a loving environment. Other than the care and amazing learning provided it also exceeded our expectations with food provided. Every day a healthy cooked meal is provided meeting all of our child’s nutritional needs and this takes such a big weight off needing to make packed lunches. Wouldn’t send our child anywhere else :)”
