Children's entertainment in Wellington

“My grandchildren loves it here. Beautiful open corner park to play at, fresh air and sunshine on a good Welly day. The safety mats provides some safety assurance for those awkward landings or for the more adventurous. The park facilities maybe modest but it's enough to entertain the bored or tire that hypo child. And what are the odds, it's a few steps away from the Jville public kids pool.”

“always very friendly and kind staff... always find a bargain... heres PEKAPEKA with his "too cute for the naughty list" for only $1 lol... merry christmas and many thanks”

“With the new works nearly done place is looking great”

“Super clean and well organised with a really impressive play area. The entrance fee is expensive but worth it in my opinion. There are even healthy menu items at the canteen, which is unusual at other indoor play areas. A great rainy day trip!”

“Celebrated our daughter's 9th birthday at Game Started. What an amazing place. Amazing host who took the kids through all the games. Will definitely go again.”

“This is one of the coaches for Table tennis in the hall, go check it out! $2 to play”

“Great venue, very polite young men manning the door last but not least congratulations to all the dancers”

“My little boy has been attending Millie's House for almost 5 months now and has thrived. The teachers are dedicated, providing thorough and enthusiastic care filled with love for the children. The manager is always supportive and approachable, ensuring that we feel confident in the care and education our boy receives. A special thanks to the amazing teacher, Alicja Lis. Our boy is lucky to have you as his profile teacher. This is a wonderful childcare centre, and we couldn't be happier with our choice.”

“Kilbirnie Park is a versatile and well-maintained green space in Wellington, perfect for both recreational activities and community events. The park boasts spacious fields that cater to a wide range of sports, including rugby, soccer, and cricket. These fields are regularly used by local clubs, schools, and casual players, making it a hub for sports enthusiasts of all ages. The park also includes an athletics track, which is ideal for runners and athletes looking to train. One of the standout features of Kilbirnie Park is its family-friendly environment. There’s a well-equipped playground that’s perfect for younger children, offering a safe and fun space for them to play. The park’s wide-open spaces also make it a great spot for picnics or leisurely walks. It’s dog-friendly, so many locals enjoy taking their pets for a stroll. The park’s location is very convenient, being close to Kilbirnie’s shopping area, bus routes, and other amenities. The nearby Wellington Regional Aquatic Centre is an added bonus for those looking to swim or relax after some outdoor activity. While the park is generally well-maintained, the fields can become a bit muddy during the rainy season. Overall, Kilbirnie Park is a fantastic community asset, offering something for everyone—whether you're there for sports, family time, or simply enjoying the outdoors.”

“Love Naomis coffees! Her Latte and Hot chocolate so delicious! Best hot chocolate ever! The milk texture & creamer on point! Had 3 hot chocolate today! Her coffees and smile just made my day! Pls let her know she’s doing an amazing job!”

“Good service needs recognition and appreciation. From Annabel I had a superb experience today in choosing both a card and paper for my daughter's graduation. I value perspectives from those around the same age when chosing gifts form my children. When selecting a card, Annabel was confident, and clear about the direction I should take, explaining the various persctives of different selections. Thanks to Annabel's perspective and help, I made the best, the right card choice on this important occassion. If I'd gone the way I had originally thought, I see, thanks to Annabel, how it would have been an emabrrasing mistake. So again, thanks for being of great service Annabel. Very much appreciated.”

“Dr Nefario approves of this park”

“Really nice playing field nestled out the back of Miramar.”

“Great place for bring your kids to do some exercise, there are running area, playgrounds and even a maze! Clean n tidy area indeed.. lots of free parking area, clean toilet near the karori play center. But I think the maze area should be repainted. When blooming, really love to sit down in the bench under the pohutawa trees in the corner and enjoying the view”

“A Wellington CBD classic. Come see the bureaucrats eat lunch. Watch the shoppers rest. Marvel at the afternoon drinkers. Join the lunchtime crowd. Peak at the workers scuttling into the tower. You know you want.”

“I have just stayed here over the weekend for a conference. Had a 3rd floor room, so quiet I forgot I was at the airport! The staff were amazing, nothing was a problem. When I asked for the room temperature to be lowered it was. When I rang for more toilet paper it turned up in 5 minutes. The à la carte breakfast is good value for money. Would love to go back one day even though I live locally!”

“We come here a lot to play but my daughters birthday party was at Chipmunks Lyall Bay today. It was AMAZING! The recent upgrades have made the venue so awesome all the kids loved it. The food was great, the party house was great, but the best part was how friendly the staff were- it was so busy and they were still able to make sure we had everything we needed and more! They were so caring and made it such a special and easy day for us. Highly recommend Chipmunks Lyall Bay, thank you guys I am so grateful for help in making my girls day so special!”

“Amazing atmosphere. Supporting Wallabies though great to feel the passion and energy of the happy crowd of All Black Supporters. The second half got ultra jovial with Mexican waves and singing. Awesome”

“The park feels timeless, with sunlight filtering through the trees in dappled patterns, creating a play of light and shadow. Every detail seems to whisper calmness, making it an ideal retreat for those seeking solitude or simply a moment to connect with nature.”

“Great place to go out with family and friends.”

“Enjoyed The Petersens band at the Little Theatre, awesome venue, even better concert. It’s a great spot!”

“Well maintained and good views.”

“Love this place. I have raced model power boats here for many years on the river, a great challenging piece of water.”

“The Main hall is huge! Plenty of tables and chairs. Excellent oven. Fridge was a good size to store food and drinks. Great bar area to set up kitchen stuff and prep food. You need to bring your own utensils,kitchen stuff and dish washing needs. There's no dish washer so it's best to use paper plates and cups as well as serving bowls that you can just chuck out. Thank god the Rubbish bags and bin were supplied. If you have 100 guests or under? It's best to hire the adjoining hall as the main hall is really huge. The Caretaker David was awesome to deal with,real good sort. You have to meet him at the hall to open as they don't give you keys,which is great..one less thing to worry about. Just make sure you have a sign saying private function on the entrance doors because it's on the main road and people walk in thinking there's housie or come to use the toilets lol but overall experience was excellent. Shops across the road and Chinese takeaway incase you need extras. Over all experience..Excellent!”

“Its a great pitch for playing rugby and football, but it wouldn't be good for something like cricket or basketball”

“Always helpful, friendly and can suggest what your looking.”

“Millar and Mary absolutely stand out women. I felt I was quite demanding as we arrived, and we had a few issues while there. Nothing but accommodating. I also noted an issue with our lane company, which was promptly fixed. My husband and I hadn't been on a date in a long time. This place made me want to go again. The staff should be highly recommended on their performance. Incredible! We'll be back when the beers are allowed to flow again!”

“This is a fabulous nursery for our two daughters who are 9 and 20mths old. Staff are caring, kind, generous, well-educated and the centre is clean and well resourced.”

“Went to this place 2ce last week with 17mth old moko. Clean tidy child friendly place with play equipment that moko enjoyed! Cool bike path area too! Seating all around too x”
