Children's entertainment in New Zealand

“Great facility, very helpful staff. Big thank you to Sofie who helped us book a room last minute when our other venue fell through!”

“Hi. I've worked voluntarily here for 8 months. This op shop is by far the best. The shop is beautifully presented and the wide range of items that are available are simply outstanding and of excellent quality. I would recommend to anyone looking for preloved items to shop here. I'm speaking from a customers perspective not because I work here. Come and take a look. Claire”

“War Memorial Park in Mount Roskill, Auckland, boasts a sprawling field, ideal for sports enthusiasts to play rugby, touch, and more. The park also features a basketball court, a designated racing area, and a thrilling skateboarding zone, among other attractions. Beyond the action, the park offers serene walking paths, inviting families and solo adventurers alike to take a leisurely stroll and soak up the great outdoors.”

“Eric Armishaw Park is a fantastic place for a relaxing afternoon. It's got a great playground for the kids and plenty of open space, perfect for a picnic. If you're feeling more active, there are walking trails, a beach for surfing or flying kites, and it's dog-friendly too! For a quieter experience, it's best to visit outside of public holidays and weekends. It's a well-maintained park, and a great spot to enjoy the outdoors. I highly recommend it if you're in the area!”

“Hawkins Theatre in Papakura is now open after refurbishment. Hawkins theatre is a great place to meet with friends and enjoy each others company while catching a movie, school performances, Dane competitions, events and awards, The Glow Show, or a fun time with Operatunity!! You can purchase ice-cream, coffee, biscuits, or wine at the bar. You can take them into the theatre with you also. If you are a senior and purchase your tickets online for the movies, currently they are only $10:00. Hawkins theatre is also a lovely place to take the grandchildren/mokopuna for the movies anytime. There is often a Ladies night, which costs $24 or $26 depending if you purchase in advance or at the door. Thus usually involves a chick flick(however some me do attend) a drink of any kind and an ice-cream. A great deal. Here are a few photos of the April program to pique your interest.”

“Plenty of things happening here all j saw happy faces it's worth checking”

“One of the best courts in town! The admin team—especially Mo—are incredibly helpful and friendly. Highly recommended!"”

“We purchased a toddlers bed plus a table and chair set months ago. Pricing is fair. Great customer service, the lady was very friendly and was willing to help. We'll be back again soon.”

“A fantastic centre with warm, caring staff and owners who are genuinely invested in delivering the best experience for the kids. My daughter loves it and is so happy to attend. Daily updates on what the kids have been up to that day and great comms all around. We are so lucky to be part of such an amazing daycare!”

“Kids had the best time, such an awesome course to complete, we did black and thoroughly enjoyed. Also got a great deal purchasing tickets through bookme.”

“Great ELC. Highly recommended. I chose this centre because of the amazing staff/ kaiakos in the under 2yrs old room. I could see immediately that the care they give the children is quality and genuine. Staff encouraged transitional visits until I was comfortable. The centre is always clean. My child is always happy to attend. Great outdoor area for the babies with sandpit and covered deck, so they aren't stuck inside all day or sharing with the older kids. No screens in the under 2yrs room - Was a positive for me. The Kaiako's always set up fun new activities and I love that they do messy play activities even with the little ones.”

“Bruce Pullman Park truly shines as an outstanding destination for a day of fun and relaxation! The park is meticulously maintained, boasting ample green spaces that are perfect for picnics and outdoor games. Children will adore the fantastic playground area including the basketball court and the dedicated cycling area. Additionally, there are various car roads that provides a safe environment for those learning to drive. The walking trails are perfect for a leisurely stroll. Plus, the park offers several lovely spots for birdwatching, making it a peaceful haven to unwind and connect with nature. It's a perfect place to create lasting memories.”

“Great facilities. Had an awesome afternoon.”

“Last international act I saw was back in the 80s in the 'super top' with UB40. Boy things have changed. And for the better. Plenty of kiosks & free water. The arena's sound system is 1st class & its probably the way I would like to see acts from overseas.”

“We have been with Learning Tree Westgate for nearly a year and have been so glad we picked them to look after our 6mth old. They make you feel so welcome, it’s a safe and friendly atmosphere and our son (now a bum shuffling 15mth old) loves his garden and sandpit adventures daily. He also makes the most of the in house chef on site, eating better meals than his parents most days. We’ve been so happy with our choice we’ve successfully suggested the centre to two other families.... and counting. Can not recommend enough!!”

“First time visit and I will return, great arts centre, well laid out with some great options. They also run various art classes throughout the year, I highly recommend a visit.”

“We have had 2 boys through this centre. Will be sad to say goodbye once our youngest leaves. Fantastic staff & the manager is great. Highly recommended. Thanks team.”

“I love Mt Eden village it's tranquil beautiful and full of life through the years I have been here many times it has many interesting quirky places some nice restaurants and cafes and it feels very homely”

“A great space to chill, meet, talk, craft, read.”

“We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Kids Cove. Our time in the Energy Room has been truly amazing. The teachers are warm, caring, and genuinely committed to each child’s growth and happiness. Thanks to the nurturing and welcoming environment, our child settled in quickly and comfortably. The daily routines are thoughtfully designed. Communication with parents is excellent—we receive regular updates and photos, and the teachers are always approachable. We’re incredibly grateful to have found a kindy that feels like a second home for our little one. We highly recommend Kids Cove to any family seeking a safe, fun, and enriching early childhood environment.”

“We are very happy with Lollipops. Our son has been going here for a little over a year now and he just loves it. The staff are friendly and have always tried their utmost to accommodate our requests. The teachers are just amazing too! They are gentle, kind, and patient - to nurture my son's curiosity for science and nature, they have even set up special experiments. The classrooms are well-equipped with a wide variety of toys and activities for the children. The learning themes for each month are communicated clearly, and we get regular updates about what our son and his classmates are getting up to and learning about each week. It is so reassuring to know that he is having lots of fun while learning, and that he is being cared for and fed so well.”

“This is such an awesome place! I would not have known it existed, if I had not gotten a Grab One voucher. The gentleman at the kiosk is very friendly and helpful. It is truly enchanting, with fun unexpected things to discover. There are little tucked away shaded niches, where you can take a bit of a rest. The grounds are beautifully clean, and excellently maintained. The courses are easy enough for children to enjoy, but difficult enough for adults to be a bit challenged. Great fun!”

“Great place to bring the kids around for lil picnic with the great view, playground from toddler year 2-5. Near the beach, clean toilet with paid parking car near the pool.”

“So lovely park, a lot of space good for picnic, while enjoying the view of the sea that has a lot of floating boats. also a lot of trees too to cover you from the sunlight.”
