Children's entertainment in Wellington

“Nice to walk around in the sun. Good trim. Cricket looks fun, but. I’m afraid.”

“Wonderful space with 2 exhibitions on the ground floor. Entry by donation. The receptionist was very helpful, telling us the rules of entry and provided a brochure with information on the exhibits. Photos were allowed in the Pop Garden light show, but not in the portrait section. A small shop had some reasonably priced items for locals and tourists. The cafe was extremely busy.”

“Best park in upperhutt. Lots of fun with kids and family. Picnic ground ,barbecue and playground everything in one place.”

“Really delivered with this 2001 IMAX experience. On the bigger side of imax screens and even tho it's only 4k the clarity was still really good (If your wondering how large placing your phone to your nose is about how big it is) Sound setup was truly amazing too as well as the seating, pay that extra for the reclining bring in a blanket and I'd pass out on those chairs. And portions here are crazy jumbo drink is 1L and the popcorn is like a 3-4L bucket completely filled got through like a quarter. If anyone is thinking about outside food, they aren't that strict about it here which is something I like I've never had issues bringing in some whittakers, box of magnums etc. as long as the packaging isn't loud and you buy at least something at the bar they are pretty chill.”

“Excellent place for a walk, sit in the sun, a picnic or give the kids fresh air and a good play in the play ground.”

“One of my favourite Lower Hutt beaches, a long sandy waterfront. There is a concrete path and low concrete wall between the free street side car parking off the roadway. There is a small short sand dune which is where birds nest and there are bunny tails and other plants growing along there.”

“Had son's birthday here & the 2 ladies there were amazing!!!! Very friendly, cool to chat to. Kids had a blast! So did us adults. Full of laughs and fun times! Recommend to all!!”

“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.”

“Dogs n togs at the pool was awesome. It looks like a great spot too for summer swimming. Great little complex.”

“Ironically very grassy. Wonderful playground. River sounds nice and is clear (!)”

“Great local spot for a beer and some pub grub. Good swimming for the kids too. Ripper sunsets.”

“Visited the Cafe and exhibitions today. The Cafe food and coffee was top quality, and the exhibition spaces are well set out. The art works were suitably challenging, made us think and ponder, which good art should do! Highly recommend a visit.”

“Great area in front of the beach especially when summer time! There are football area, bbq area (but the bbq grill didn’t work when we are there), toilet area behind the cafe (not too clean but still useable), cafe is nice with various choices of food, ice cream and milkshake. There is small pond with lot of ducks, don’t feed them bread please. We saw tracking area, maybe someday will back to try the track.”

“Wonderful sports grounds and facilities at the Ricoh Centre also.”

“It was a perfect day out spending time with our mokopuna. We are pretty competitive with just a point between the 3 of us.”

“Had an amazing evening celebrating my mother's 60th birthday last month. The manager is welcoming and easy to communicate with. The venue is perfect if you live or work in the Eastern suburbs. Hiring is most affordable and there's an option to cater your own. The staff are very helpful and made our night so much easier. A big thank you to Megan for looking after us. You are a rockstar!!”

“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.”

“Super friendly. I did the Saturday shop ride and experienced some trouble with my back brakes. The shop was very helpful and friendly and sorted my issue out super efficiently. Was a lekker vibe and good coffee.”

“This is a really nice park to run around its nice and flat always mowed and always people there lots of family with young children there to.. plenty of car park's and toilets.”

“Good Spot for for bringing the children to play and have a picnic.”

“We saw Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812. ( 23/4/24 ) And was thoroughly entertained. What a fantastic performance and show! Really fun, a big party onstage. The music was amazing & voices incredible!! The pianist on stage was so clever, playing, conducting, and interacting with the actors too. I enjoyed this so so much and would encourage everyone to go see this really professional, fun modern musical while they have the chance. The theatre is gorgeous and intimate, but with plenty of space. The stage was very easy to see and nice and close. The staff were lovely. I loved everything about it. Thanks for a great night's entertainment, Hannah Theatre, the cast, musicians and everyone behind the scenes of Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812!!!”

“Excellent facility in Karori. New Circuit style sessions on Tuesdays and a Pump class midweek evenings and again on a saturday - Instructors are friendly, focussed. Worth booking in at the Rec for.”

“A lovely little community centre with equipment to host small theatre activities. Has an well appointed kitchen work space and is the perfect size for hosting about 30-50 people.”

“Watched my son's football game at Endeavour Park. There had been rain the previous day, the drainage on the grounds was really good, so grounds were not muddy and easy to walk on. Excellent park. Club rooms were open but we didn't visit there.”

“Sending my two daughters to Best Start Totara was one of the best decisions we made. Thank you for taking care of Gwen and Solana, helping them progress, and building their confidence. Thanks to all of the staff: the office, receptionist, cook, and teachers. You guys are amazing. I will definitely recommend you to all of my friends.”

“We transferred my son from a daycare center to Capital City Preschool and the difference has been amazing. At CCP, the teachers are welcoming and warm, and my son looks forward to going every day—sometimes he doesn’t even want to leave! I especially appreciate the 1:7 teacher-student ratio, the personalized updates on his interests and strengths, and the support for his emotional development. Since starting at CCP, his speech has improved significantly. They offer extracurricular activities (my son looks forward to Playball on Fridays!) and community excursions, also celebrates different cultures and events. It feels like a small, nurturing community. The best preschool! I'm so glad we transferred my son to CCP.”

“Louise and her team were amazing to deal with from start to finish. Nothing was too hard and she was on top of everything, kids had an amazing time, such a fantastic space for them and when they sat down to eat she sent all the adults outside and she looked after them so we could sit and eat too, worth every penny! Biggest complaint is the kids didn't want to leave at the end!”

“Awesome club. Everyone is super friendly and welcoming. Really enjoying the classes.”

“An excellent course to get you started with welding. Safety, key skills, and time to practice and apply the foundation skills of welding are all part of the course. Tim is patient, encouraging and thorough in his teaching.”
