Children's entertainment in New Zealand

“Nice park. Visitors can free to use the barbecue grill and have a party there. Easy to get there. Christchurch Metro Bus stop just on Mathers Road outside the park (bus 60).”

“Pretty wildflower area at the start of summer. Nice park apart from the garish toilets, totally unclassy”

“So much fun for the kids...a great place to totally tire them out:) it's great fun for adults as well. Good party venue:)”

“I was looking for a bra and decided to inquire about a bra fitting and I'm so glad I did. Despite my initial nervousness, the experience proved pleasant. A sales member began by asking my preference then checking bra fits, later consulting a colleague for another opinion. This resulted in a smooth process, and pinpointing the perfect bra. Both assistants ensured my comfort throughout. Unfortunately, I have forgotten their names but thank you so very much.”

“A shout out to Jude in furnishings. Absolutely brilliant service. I was trying to match a duvet cover to pillow cases, trying different colours. Jude went out of her way to make sure I went home satisfied with my selection. I really valued her input. Once again thanks Jude for your time on Sunday, my guest bedroom looks fantastic. We are incredibly lucky to have such a great team at Farmers Rangiora”

“Great store and staff here. Sad to hear that it's being closed down.”

“Extremely helpful staff. Good range of clothes and sizes. I couldn't find a shirt in my size, so the very helpful staff member checked other stores and organized a swap. Beyond the call of duty.”

“I just wanted to leave some positive feedback about Tom Bells at your Westfield Riccarton store. I popped in earlier, made a purchase, and then realised my Farmers Club Card hadn't been linked up properly. When I went back to the till for a quick query, Tom stepped right in. He was brilliant! He sorted the whole purchase out in a flash, making sure my card was added so I got all my points. Tom was so friendly and efficient - he never made me feel like I was holding him up, which I really appreciated. A genuinely great shopping experience, all thanks to Tom. Give him a pat on the back! :)”

“Very clean and tidy, well laid out and good quality stock.”

“I love this pool, I always come here when I can. The kids love swimming in the different sized pools. We always have fun can't wait to come here again soon. I definitely recommend coming here it's a great place for all ages with swim equipment that you can buy at the front desk like googles, swim wear, and water toys for the kids. I've also heard that there's a gym, but haven't had a look even tho I've been going here for years.”

“Recently hosted a bingo night there for a crowd of about 100, and had the best experience! The staff were friendly and helpful, from the initial enquiry right through the event and afterwards. The room we held the event at was warm and comfortable, with great lighting and seating options, as well as a PA, screens and microphone ready to use. The bar staff are efficient with serving a great variety of food and drinks at good prices. I'm now trying to find excuses to organise more events, just because it was so easy and fun!”

“Nick is the best worker. He made us feel so welcome. After a long night out, he was so kind. The rest of the staff was so nice and so friendly. They even gave us some complimentary garlic knots. If I could give them a 10 stars I would! So appreciative of the work they do here! ”

“The service was amazing. The popcorn was very good and came in generous portions, and the same goes for the drinks. They also have a great selection of movies.”

“No parking - Maximum congestion / inconvenience for everyone. Welcome to the vanity project that costs rate payers regardless of the revenues generated. The " She'll be'right " Stadium is a testament to the short term / limp wristed attempts at massaging a cost benefit analysis to push it across the line, so a few career focused individuals can add another self-embellishment to their LinkedIn profile.”

At Armadillos Beckenham, the menu stays burger‑led and no‑fuss. Pricing lines up with the offer. Front‑of‑house runs with calm, helpful energy. The room sits relaxed with an easy buzz. Fries and sides...

“Nice little suburbian park, some playground equipment there and a good size area to run around.”

“Our first choice of playground to play some good quality, friendly football matches. Also has an amazing play area for kids as well including swings, sand pit and a rocking slide.”

“Great Place. 2 Artificial Cricket Pitches. Kids are.”

“Good place to take kids, I miss bathrooms and more trees.”

“Fair pricing in comparison to other nearby kids activity/playground places in Hamilton. Comparing fun and entertainment to other places - Again I would choose Inflatable World. Good on prices for the huge amount of fun with more to enjoy. When I took the kids we weren't aware of the socks policy but no problem for $2 we could buy a pair. Just pays to do your homework before heading off to places. Prepare, be aware, and play it .safe.”

“Great place to spend time with familiy and friends, plenty for children to do, take their bikes and skate boards. Community Centre events held regularly, so much fun.”

“Loved this store and really enjoyed shopping here, there were some great deals on and marvelous selection. When I got back to my car my daughter messaged asking me to look for an item in Farmers she wanted. It had been a long day and with achy feet I called the store, I spoke to a very helpful young lady in the toy department, she checked that they had the item in stock and took one to the counter ready for me to just pop back in. So helpful and my feet were grateful too! I will be back.”

“A great area, owners are super friendly and the amenities are nice. Would definitely recommend.”

“Shopping was good but can be busy, the aisles were well marked.. they have a public toilet.. checkout is always busy but efficient and staff were very helpful...”

“I had a wonderful experience with Anisha. She is absolutely amazing with both staff and customers. Her product demonstration was clear and professional, and she was incredibly kind and approachable throughout the interaction. I was fully satisfied with the way she handled everything and truly appreciated her thoughtful and respectful approach....”

“Very happy with my purchase of a Aiden 2 seater recliner, so comfy and soft, excellent service looking foward to delivery”

“I was throughly impressed I one of the staff members today although young the boy behind the counter with the short black hair was very helpful when it came to questions and I also saw him doing a lot of jobs. It was refreshing to see such a young person working this hard. The facilities were great and I loved the prizes. Five stars on my behalf.”

“We attended the Bowling today it was fantastic. Staff were great very helpful. This was my first time attending your facilities it was a very pleasant experience.”

“The YMCA in Hamilton is a fantastic community hub that offers a wide range of services and facilities, making it one of the best places to stay active and connected in the area. I’ve had the chance to visit a few times, and each experience has been incredibly positive. The gym facilities are excellent, with a wide range of equipment that suits all levels of fitness. Whether you're looking to lift weights, use cardio machines, or take part in group fitness classes, the YMCA has it all. I personally enjoy their group classes, as they’re always led by enthusiastic and supportive instructors who make it easy to stay motivated. From yoga to high-intensity interval training (HIIT), the variety of classes available means you can mix things up and keep your workouts interesting. Beyond fitness, the YMCA in Hamilton is great for families and people of all ages. The swimming pool is another standout feature. It's well-maintained, and I love that it’s suitable for both casual swimmers and those who want to focus on fitness. Plus, there are a variety of programs for kids, including swimming lessons, sports camps, and after-school care, making it an ideal place for families to stay active together. What really stands out to me about the YMCA is the sense of community. The staff are always friendly, welcoming, and dedicated to creating a positive environment. Whether you're there for a workout, a swim, or just to enjoy the social aspect, it’s easy to feel at home. Overall, the YMCA in Hamilton is a fantastic place to be. It provides excellent fitness facilities, a wide variety of programs, and a welcoming atmosphere that makes it more than just a gym—it’s a community space where people of all ages can come together, get active, and improve their well-being.”
