Children's entertainment space in Hamilton

“We did the forsaken farmhouse and it was great. Good puzzles and everything was in good condition. Didn’t catch the name but the blue haired staff member gave an amazing introduction to the room to really set the mood. Super friendly too!”

“Took my little brothers and the 3 of us had the best time! They loved all the computer games and working towards getting their astronaut wings. The Lego exhibit was amazing and there is so much information packed into such a small space. Dave was so sweet and even took us out to use sun viewers and set up the VR for us”

“Nice fields. Amazing football club.”

“Well maintained football and cricket venue - lovely to walk around with the dog”

“This park is great for dogs in the summer for lots of shade and varied places to walk”

“Bright beginnings has been absolutely wonderful. My daughter has been there since the centre opened and they’ve helped through so many hard phases, from toilet training to tantrums and all of the above. They’ve become a second family for my daughter and I and I would absolutely recommend people take their children here to be taken care of by the most loving and patient teachers.”

“My son has been attending here since January 2021. We absolutely love the centre and the staff. The centre is well resourced and has more space than you would ever know what to do with. The staff are absolutely amazing and really dedicate themselves to caring for and educating the children in their care. An absolute top centre!”

“My experience with them has been absolutely amazing. The faculty is caring , understanding and supportive ,which is a rare combination. Love the ambiance and the vibe that this centre has. They are such an amazing team.”

“Both of my children attended Newstead Country Preschool quite some time ago. The care our children received was exceptional. They were exposed to so many skills we could not offer. Staff are caring and attentive. If you want your child being looked after in an exceptionally safe and caring environment, Newstead Country Preschool is the place I recommend. Staff are looked after and enjoy their work and leadership. Hence the staff turnover is low. Love the place. Love the staff. Love what the preschool offered especially what it offers in terms of outdoor education. Happy mum. My kids are studying now and are well adjusted and positive young adults. Thank you. Thank you....”

“Amazing Kindergarten! Such passionate teachers and I love the focus on child-led learning. The teachers here have put a lot of work into making such a welcoming space and I love the rhythm and rituals thats been incorporated into the flow of each day. So many different areas of play to choose from that inspire children's imaginations and a big beautiful outdoor area as well. Absolutely recommend :)”

“We liked Bunnies for the amazing outdoor area. We have now had 3 children at Bunnies and we have been very happy with their care while at Bunnies. The teachers are great and the communication to home is great too.”

“I'm new to the Alpha Brave team but everyone was super inviting and friendly from day one and immediately made me feel like part of the crew. Love that the box has a massive focus on positivity and also on working out safely - I've never felt uncomfortable or at risk of any injuries in any way. Massive shout out to the amazing Nicole who coached me 1:1 throughout the foundations course and was super friendly and motivating/encouraging! Bring on the future with the Alpha Brave team!”

“Awesome park next to the lake in Hamilton. It was recommended to me by a friend and it sure didn't disappoint. We stopped by on the way back to Auckland and the kids didn't want to leave. It had so much variety to keep the kids entertained for a long time, especially the water play features. Has a cafe and toilets nearby. Parking could be an issue on busy days.”

“Great place for a meeting. Hadn't realised that it hired out rooms.”

“Great place for family fun. I enjoyed the experience, and I will definitely take family again in the near future.”

“Our kids saw this park from the car and immediately wanted to stop and play. This is a new or renewed park, with plenty of activities to enjoy. For adults the basketball court is awesome. Well designed and decorated. There is a small bike track in the back. The flying fox is the top attraction. There are Toilets and a water fountain. Just beside Countdown, worth a visit.”

“We attended a wonderful performance The Return of the Unicorn thus afternoon.”

“Great place. Lots of activities. Cafe pretty good too. Staff also really friendly. And nice and clean. Well worth money spent. Fabulous time. Nice discount for today as well. Great stuff Nija Valley!!”

“Very good and fun playground for kids with variety like slides, swings, bike tracks. My sons love this playground. Thank you ”

“Two great cycling tracks for all ages (3 years to 93 years) Besides the cycling tracks, you will also find a great play area (partially covered) for the youngsters. 2 Tramps, 2 swings, a tight rope and much more. Heaps of parking - Bring the family! A Water fountain and toilets are there too. Enjoy the fun.”

“I went on Sunday 28 August 2022, with my daughter, and three year old granddaughter. I had never been before, and I was so stunned by the beauty, and complete natural way that it was left to its own devices. The hens, roosters, and ducks, were so cute, and friendly, and my granddaughter was delighted. We walked slowly, and tried to take in everything, which was quite difficult, because there was so much to see. But sitting by one of the small ponds, was so tranquil, and very peaceful. The perfect place to get away from a fast paced city. I truly loved it, and having come from a rural setting not too long ago, it was like a haven. I think that it is a huge plus for Hamilton, and the Waikato in general. I'm definitely going again.”

“Love this place good for a stroll to take the kids and dog for walks”

“This is the best gym in Hamilton, 100% recommended, everyone is so friendly and classes are excellent.”

“What an amazing place. Must go back again, hopefully in the Spring so I can see the rhododendrons and other spring flowers. So much to see. Love the separate "rooms" of different types of gardens. Well worth the drive.”

“Great big hill very good for sitting upon the top of it”

“We stopped off and enjoyed a beautiful lunch at the Falls Retreat Restaurant over the long weekend. Lovely relaxed setting and delicious food - the lamb was superb. I would highly recommend to others.”

“Helpful, patient, informative and soo welcoming...its a cool place...they do heaps for the people of their community...I liked it heaps...the place is spacious, airy and clean...”

“Small park but lots of fun to and parking available. Great big feild running and flying a kite, playing cricket or and ball sports. Nice little scooter track too for the kids. Plenty of seating and tables for relaxing.”

“The best people in Hamilton either work here, or come here to have their curiousity piqued, and to have their lives filled with art. No im not drunk writing this, it really is the tits ”
