Children's entertainment space in Lower Hutt

“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).”

“Few cities are fortunate enough to have a theatre and company of this high calibre. Constellations is a superbly crafted piece of theatre demanding the very finest of acting skills and Hutt Reps production delivered in spades. Renowned for its wonderful sets dedication to craft and authenticity the theatre’s recent enhancements with new seating and lighting rig add to what is already a high bar. Beautifully directed with great thought given to the demands on the actors in this two hander. Transitions were completely seamless and flowed naturally from one scene to the next. The real star of this show was the superb sound and light design. With bone rattling accuracy we were moved in our seats by the use of some rather large, I believe 18” sub woofers secreted beneath the audience dais. The teamwork required to create such a slick production through movement, dialogue, sound and lighting was outrageously good.”

“Good indoor play for kids. Nice friendly staff too.”

“Granddaughter absolutely loved it. All the staff are friendly. Great choice of food, however you can't take your own food in. The ride are free and the kids can go as often as they want when they are running.”

“Great place to buy all your stuff from groceries, clothing. Homewares, toys even printing as warehouse stationary is inside”

“This is an amazing centre! Highly recommend! So much care and patience. Like all other centres that are busy and filled with tamariki, it was such a great and smooth transition for my God daughter. Thanks team! God Bless x”

“We initially chose All About Children Naenae because it was a smaller centre and had a nice large outdoor space compared to our previous centre. It was OK when we started but we did have a few doubts that we had made the right move. Since the new centre management has come in it feels more organised and structured and we feel really happy with our decision. The staff have been awesome especially over the COVID-19 lockdown and the communication has been excellent.”

“We have been dealing with a wonderful lady called Frances, We have been awkward customers - buying a mattress that was too hard - and she has been so helpful, with the return, and ordering of a new one. She’s an absolute asset to the company.”

“Love this venue! Held my daughter’s fourth birthday here and there was plentiful room for party games and adults attending. Kitchen and facilities are great and tidy. Will 100% be booking here again!”

“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”

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

“Lovely welcoming librarians. We spend in the children area, newphews love it! Lots of space as well quite areas to read and play with building blocks and puzzles. Park & pools just down the road and supermarkets. Will visit again!”

“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”

“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.”

“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.”

“Great place for children and parents, coffee shop on site, toilets and adequate parking, It is a very nice facility in the heart of Petone handy to public transport and close to the main CBD of Petone, I highly recommend this facility as a very good safe place for children to play, well fenced with a safety gate, well earned 5 stars”

“Great playground for kids and adults alike, A massive assortment of slides, swing's,tunnels, cargo nets aswell as sandpits,bbq area's down by the large pond which you can practice with your hobby watercrafts,A great time out having funwi”

“We’ve absolutely loved our time at Millie's House. The Kaiako (teachers) are so supportive and caring, and the environment is great, lots for the kids to do. Our son has thrived here. We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend it to other families!”

“Salmon was delicious and came out super fast. Very friendly service. Indoor and outdoor seating options with a gorgeous views!”

“The kids love this playground. Lots of options for games and activities with plenty of places to sit for a snack and a drink as well. Having the cafe kiosk and toilet block right there is equally important for kids and parents.”

“We enjoyed the history of the area, The displays were well presented and definitely worth the visit while in area. No charge and parking along the esplanade. Feel free to leave donation.”

“Lovely little park amidst urbanization.Great for a walk.”

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

“Well maintained and good views.”
