Children's entertainment in Wellington

“This is our third purchase from Paula’s and all I can say is “wow”, such a fantastic company to deal with. Very easy to deal with and communication with them is brilliant. We have never visited the showroom and always bought online, and it is always a pleasure to deal with them. The items have always arrived in a timely manner and the communication between them, MAINFREIGHT and then to us is brilliant. All the items have arrived in perfect condition. Highly recommend purchasing from them.”

“What a jewel for Upper Hutt! So many activities for kids of all ages and abilities. Great variety of safe, interesting, visual & tactile activities for those with sensory issues and easy access, smooth paths to navigate prams, strollers & wheelchairs - though watch out when near the skate ramps! For the more ambitious & rambunctious there are climbing, jumping, balancing & strength activities. Truly something for everyone”

“I definitely recommend them! I have two kids that go there but one of them has recently started primary. Best Start really helped with the transition for my older one! Teachers and receptionist are always welcoming and caring! Till this day, my wife and I have to drag our baby out of kindy because he doesn't want to leave - thats reassurance that your child is being well looked after and having a blast at Best Start!”

“The kids and dog loved it here lots of room to throw a ball around for the dog as well as the kids playing tag”

“A nice walkway next to the wharf that provides nice views of the harbor, and leads to a nice happening area with various restaurants, bars, and high end shops. The walk is flat and easy so can be managed by anyone with basic fitness, however it’s windy in general and in a windy day it gets slightly challenging to walk. The walk from the parking lot at this location to the shops is 1.6 KM / 1 mile. Walking from the parking lot to the other end will take at least 30 minutes with plenty of stops around monuments on the way.”

“Big long finned eel by the lower bridge today. A nice sheltered picnic spot with toilets, a shelter, and bbqs for public use.”

“Great garden magics with live music organised every January”

“Very nice venue for local events. The folks here in makara are very friendly and welcoming. Thank you”

“Such a big play area ..skate park as well .. specially after school..if kids wanted to play more ..water tap and toilets very handy”

“Mount Cook Primary School is an exceptional educational institution that provides a nurturing and supportive environment for students to thrive. The dedicated teaching staff deliver engaging lessons, fostering academic excellence and curiosity. The school's focus on character development, teamwork, and community values helps students become confident, empathetic, and responsible individuals. Modern facilities and resources enhance the learning experience, while the school's welcoming atmosphere encourages family involvement. I had the privilege of attending Mount Cook Primary School for eight wonderful years, and I can confidently attest to its excellence. My time here was truly transformative, and I cherish the memories and lessons learned. The school's impact on my development and love for learning has been profound. Rating: 5/5 stars.”

“Had a wonderful time here with my little man while in Wellington. Access is free but donations are requested. They had the cardboard town set up so we went in one of the tunnels to play. They also have a reading corner, colouring/art area, and photo booth ($2). Coffee for parents is available for $3. We will go again next time we are in Wellington!”

“A great theatre for medium size productions”

“Friendly and helpful service. The staff who have helped me with my sofa seem as enthusiastic about colour and fabric as I am, which makes me feel like they care about the furniture and fabrics that they sell.”

“Jessica Lee was an absolute delight to deal with. She was super helpful and kind to us, very patient and chatty and lovely. Thank you for the excellent service!”

“The wind farm has some amazing views of kapiti and mana islands, plus the south island on clear days. The drive up was a bit hard due to the windy roads, but totally worth it. Would recommend coming here at least once, and would recommend bringing a jacket, it is super windy.”

“This is a great park, lots of open space, used for events like summer soccer and various shows. Public toilets, a decent playground and the location of the Uppet Hutt cricket club. Generally easy to find a park around the side streets if you can't find one on the main road.”

“Wonderful new cafe, lots of animals and variety of landscapes such as streams, waterfalls, hills. Well worth visiting though take care on the narrow road to Staglands.”

“It was really interesting with lots of interesting things to look at and read. I loved reading about the history of the New Zealand Police and seeing how things have changed. It's free to get into which is nice and wasn't busy when we went.”

“This is a fantastic playground, nestled within the botanic Gardens. Not only is there great equipment for children of a range of ages (a number of slides, flying fox, monkey bars, swings and other climbing equipment), there is plenty of shade, tables, and bathrooms! It really ticks all the boxes.”

“Cute wee park , love the kids playground and the garden for the blind has nice booth seating for lunch or a quiet and discreet meeting. Beautiful sweet smelling flowers and water feature and on the other side you can sit and watch cars on the motorway”

“Join your kids up. Teach them some stuff you don't know or don't have time for.”
