Children's entertainment in Wellington

“Outstanding garden with really beautiful flowers. The walkways are clean and easily accessible. Many of the flowers are from the Southern Hemisphere and so for visitors from the rest of the world, it's a really unique experience. Special mention for the bees and birds who aren't really that afraid of humans. A must visit of you love flowers.”

“New playground installed with Flying Fox, eels in the river, nature walk & train Station”

“Only place I was able to escape the kids even though the kids were with me lol Found me a pinball machine and owned every second of game time. I loved it, my kids loved it, my hubby loved it. Couldn't believe we had a great 1hr of kid fun. Had great special on for game credit, otherwise we'd never have spent money there.”

“This is a fantastic experience we went for an end of year Christmas event, it’s been a tough year so we wanted to do something a little bit different and it was. There is something for everyone and we escaped the serial killer finally”

“Shout out to our planetarium guide at the 8:30 show last night (Wednesday Dec 3). Greeted us when we arrived. Shared his genuine enthusiasm for the stars and the mission of Space Place. The exhibits space is small/medium, but the quality was quite high and captures the teenagers with us (no small feat!) with the right level of engagement and knowledge share. You can easily spend a couple hours with the planetarium show. I live in Los Angeles and while Griffith Observatory is quite famous, the exhibit quality for kids, teens and adults is superior if you take the time to read the material and enjoy the video/interactive set ups.”

“The Maori Sidesteps were wonderful. Great music, great comedy and some important messages to top it off.”

“Always a great experience. It makes me feel like I’m back in a 90’s movie theatre.”

“Wētā Cave is a must-visit in Wellington for anyone interested in Hollywood movies and the magic behind them. The experience offers an incredible behind-the-scenes look at how iconic Hollywood films are brought to life, with detailed props, costumes, models, and displays showcasing the craftsmanship and creativity involved. Seeing the level of detail up close gives you a whole new appreciation for what goes into blockbuster filmmaking. The atmosphere is relaxed yet inspiring, and the staff are passionate and knowledgeable, happily sharing insights and stories from major film productions. It’s an easy and enjoyable stop while exploring Wellington or the Miramar area, and the overall experience feels immersive and well worth the ticket. The store is also a highlight, packed with unique collectibles and memorabilia. If you love Hollywood films or creative storytelling, Wētā Cave is an experience you shouldn’t miss”

“Recently went to the Wellington Museum, first time in a few years. The exhbits were great, very comprehensive in thier information and many of them were quite fun and engaging. The more somber or serious topics were really well presented.”

“My favorite mini golf experience! Such good props and fun shots to take (both golf and drinks). Quality time and effort was spent making this very enjoyable to just exist in. The staff was also fun and very nice. Only sad there was not more holes, I need more!!”

“A large and very scenic park. Great for picnics, a run, dog walkings and walking in the bus”

“We recently had my daughters birthday party at this venue and were so pleased with our experience. The staff we very friendly and accommodating for the couple of hours that we were there, always making sure we were happy and looked after, even offering a cake cutting knife and lighter in case we hadn't taken them along with us. The party room was being used for another party before our one began and when the room was ready for us, it was all completely cleaned and tidy, you wouldn't even know there was a room full of kids, food and cake in there before us. The food came out exactly on time and the kids had an amazing time on the playground with such a variety of activities for all ages. Would definitely recommend and am very thankful my daughter had a great party at this location :)”

“Excellent gardens in spring: rhododendrons daffodil s & blossom trees. Sheltered. Playground, parking all there. Easily reached off SH2. Tennis courts and large playing fields plus River walk picnic tables and BBQ. Sept. 18”

“A superb park, well laid out with great planning. The planting attracts birds of all types including the rowdy Tui. Great water features. Plenty of spacious parking and electric car charging posts. Toilets suffer from vandals but usable”

“The Events Centre is a brand new development with the latest audio visual equipment for conferencing and events. The spaces has all new amenities, facilities and class leading infrastructure to support any size of event up to a maximum of 1200 delegates (static audience).”

“Great venue for exhibitions! Good facilities for organisers, exhibitors, and attendees. I’ve been to many exhibitions at Walter Nash.”

“Mind blown by the place and arena. Fantastic services available, good parking. Round about was quite congested when we left. It would help if people knew their road rules.”

“A sometimes overlooked green space with an elevated harbour view. Easy access off Burma road, and ample parking for most events. Senior soccer is held here in the winter months.”

“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!!!”

“Did the Meerkat Close Encounter and was incredible. Such an interactive experience with very knowledgeable keepers. A great zoo to support which contributes to conservation efforts and animal well-being.”

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

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

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