Kids' activities in Wellington

From Te Papa's hands-on discovery spaces to Zealandia, the waterfront playground, and storytimes at Wellington City Libraries, the capital is packed with things to do with kids — if you know where to look.

Kids' activities in Auckland

Between MOTAT, the Auckland Zoo, regional parks, and library sessions from Albany to Ōtara, Auckland has more family events on any given week than any parent can track alone.

Kids' activities in Christchurch

The Margaret Mahy Playground, Willowbank, the Botanic Gardens, and a busy calendar of community events make Ōtautahi an easy city to fill a weekend with kids.

Kids' activities in Hamilton

Hamilton Gardens, the zoo, Waikato Museum's family days, and library programmes across Kirikiriroa keep Waikato families busy year-round.

Kids' activities in Tauranga

Beach days at the Mount, the Historic Village markets, and a steady stream of school-holiday programmes — Tauranga punches above its weight for family activities.

Kids' activities in Dunedin

Tūhura Otago Museum's science centre, the Botanic Garden aviary, and wildlife on the Otago Peninsula give Dunedin families plenty to explore in any weather.

Kids' activities in Napier & Hastings

The National Aquarium, Splash Planet in summer, and Hawke's Bay's market mornings make the Bay an easy place to plan a family day out.

Kids' activities in Palmerston North

Te Manawa's interactive galleries, the Esplanade's miniature railway, and Victoria Esplanade playgrounds anchor a surprising amount of family programming in Palmy.

Kids' activities in Kāpiti Coast

Beaches from Paekākāriki to Waikanae, Ngā Manu Nature Reserve, and community events up and down SH1 — the Kāpiti Coast is built for outdoor family days.

Kids' activities in Rotorua

Redwoods walks, lakefront playgrounds, geothermal wonders, and school-holiday programmes make Rotorua a family-activity hotspot well beyond the tourist trail.

Kids' activities in Nelson

Founders Heritage Park, Natureland, Tāhunanui Beach, and the Saturday market give Nelson families a full calendar in the country's sunniest corner.

Kids' activities in New Plymouth

Pukekura Park, the Coastal Walkway, and Puke Ariki's family programmes mean there's always something on for Taranaki kids.

Kids' activities in Queenstown

Beyond the adrenaline tourism, Queenstown's lakefront, gardens, and community events offer plenty for local families and visiting parents alike.

Kids' activities in Invercargill

Queens Park, the Transport World museums, and Southland's community programmes give Invercargill families more options than the city gets credit for.
