Educational organization in Wellington

“The Island Bay Marine Education Centre, also known as "The Bait House", is an interactive marine experience based in Island Bay on Wellington's south coast. As well as there being lots of different sea creatures on display (including a couple of octupuses, sea horses, crayfish, turtles, a grumpy blue cod to name a few) you can also handle starfish, sea cucumbers, sea anemones, crabs and other sea life found un the touch pools. There is far more inside than you would expect from the outside and the volunteers whi wirk there are very friendly and helpful. It is really reasonably priced ($5 for adults, $2 per child) and we were all entertained for ages. Really good fun and educational too. Definitely worth checking out with the family.”

“Our family loves Wilton Playcentre! The kids have such a great sense of belonging. As a parent, I get massive emotional support and have made friends for life. I work 4 days a week and really look forward to my playcentre day where we get to hang out with our friends and do cool stuff.”

“The kids have attended since they were babies they have made lots of friends and enjoyed all the experiences here.”

“Lovely centre - highly recommend to any parents looking at ece options!”

“We love Ngaio Playcentre. Beautiful centre, lovely people, and plenty of learning. At Playcentre I've gained a much greater understanding of my daughter's play and behaviour, so I can support her as she grows. We now have our son there too, and he is loving being exposed to the Playcentre environment from an early age.”

“Ah! very kind people. They serve SUPERB Margaritas. 5/5 one thing i would change is the bathrooms, no doors!”

“The Space program was very beneficial and the teachers Heather and Maria are so kind and dedicated!”

“Outstanding. My kids love it and so do I.”

“Fantastic fun for my daughter! From baking to playing games, it’s the best fun, and so helpful for working families! Thank you!”

“Hello everyone, I'm Bobby Han Shanglin's classmate, please don't believe the first comment. Han Shanglin is a classmate who excels at ACG school and is a truly outstanding top student. The teachers and classmates like him very much. In one semester, only the girls he rejected and confessed to him can make up a class. This school is good and has a good school spirit, but if you want to come to ACG to study, you have to be mentally prepared to be stepped on by Bobby.”

“My 7 year old son had a lesson with Tim today. In my son's words 'it was great and very exciting because I stood up on my surf board!'. Thanks so much my son had a huge confidence boost and we will most definitely be booking another session.”

“Great classes. Everything was well arranged. Easy space to work in.”

“Over the years, I’ve tried many gyms, but this one stands out as the best. I really enjoy the 30 minute lunchtime classes - they keep me fit and motivate me to turn up and keep going. The trainers make the sessions both challenging and enjoyable. Highly recommend the classes if you are looking for a bit of motivation or a solid workout! The gym is not overcrowded so you don’t have to wait to use machines like at other gyms which is also great!”

“Attended an absolutely amazing end of term play. The activity across the stage was riveting and captivating. One of the best plays i have ever had the privilege of attending. Time flew and the young actors displayed skill beyond their years.”

“We've been coming here weekly for about 7 months. The teachers are so patient , kind and engaging. We have mostly had Tegan and shes wonderful.My 3 year old has been happy and learning so much! The water is lovely and warm, definitely helps the kids enjoyment and willing to participate. I've done lessons at a public pool that was always freezing (think babies with blue lips) but Fulton is basically like swimming in a warm bath. Well worth the cost. We do lessons on a Wednesday and it's also super quiet.”
