Top 30 Best Children's entertainment in Wellington

“Ordered online and found exactly what I was looking for. So impressed with the service that we'll be popping in for a visit.”

“We had my son’s birthday party there. Matt was super helpful, very patient and helped us to arrange the food platters and drinks! Great day! Thank you!”

“excellent and very talented team. super supportive. great resources, homely whanau feel.”

“Great service. Friendly & prompt communication, very speedy delivery & lovely books. Thanks!”

“Great stuff for kids, we always take our son along each term break for their performances, lots of fun for all.”

“Sue and her team are amazing, I could not recommend Montessori Children’s House more highly. My son loved every minute of his two years there - he has entered school well prepared with all the skills he needs to learn effectively and has developed a wonderful, curious mind and a thirst for knowledge. The environment is rich with learning opportunities and the staff are so wonderful and dedicated to their students. We really miss Montessori Children’s House now we have moved on, and feel so privileged to have been part of it.”

“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 had a lovely pony party with Louise at her beautiful farm. Louise was very much on top of all the party organizing which made the party planning stress free. We chose a late start on a Friday afternoon to accommodate school end times. All the kids and adults enjoyed the activities and the yummy food (we went for the deluxe option, more than enough healthy and tasty food). I also got a platter for the adults plus tea, this gave the adults some tasty refreshments while the kids enjoyed their food and the party. It was a joy to see the smiling faces as the kids interacted with the animals and rode the pony/horses. Then we (two of us) stayed over in the cabin. This was really awesome, just some quality time to chill together, cozy warm beds, kitchen available to use as needed. I highly recommend this venue (we are coming back for some days in the holiday programme :) Thanks Louise!”

“We’ve chosen for our younger child to also attend CCP. We’re delighted to be back and have been again impressed by the experience for our child, for us as parents, and as a whanau. We’ve also really enjoyed reconnecting with families we met when our eldest attended and it’s a tribute to the centre that there are so many families choosing the centre for all their children. The centre continues to provide a supportive environment for us all. The transition into preschool was great, empowering us as parents and our child to work through the transition in our own way and timing. The kaiako were so kind (and patient) as we navigated toilet training and continue to show their care for our child and his own passions and quirks. We’re constantly impressed by the wide range of activities offered to the tamariki, both in the centre (music, sports, mindfulness, baking to name a few) but also activities outside the centre (trips to the library, local theatre, Te Papa etc). The centre is supported by a passionate committee and caring families who share their cultural experiences with the children e.g. over Diwali, Chinese New Year etc which exposes them to the diversity of our local community. We feel so fortunate to have found this centre city gem, and are so pleased our youngest is benefiting from this great foundation for his learning journey. I am sure that he too will be so well prepared for primary school and the rest of his education just like his older brother was. Many thanks to the fab and hard working team at CCP.”

“We recently moved to New Zealand and Wellington, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have found Otari Montessori. It's not just a school, it's a community of warm, engaged people coming together around young children. The teachers are incredible—caring, knowledgeable, immensely competent, and attentive—the leadership strikes a near-perfect balance of organization and accessibility, and the space is exceptional. We cannot recommend Otari Montessori highly enough.”

“Best indoor mini golf in Wellington! The holes are all so creative and fun, with some really pushing the boundaries of ''golf''.... We had a great time and will definitely be back with a bigger posse. Didn't catch the name of guy working there but he was really friendly. Only feedback is to lower the lights a little for a more relaxed and less office-space vibe :)”

“We played the diamond heist with 2 teenagers and 2 adults. The staff did an excellent job creating this, I've done a few other escape rooms and this was my favourite of all. The staff were also really generous, we booked a time and then last minute our bus was cancelled. The staff were very understanding and were happy us just to change our booking time.”

“I did the asylum room today and it was awesome. I have done a few of the other escape rooms around Wellington and this was by far the best! Highly recommend choosing Xcape!!”

“The team working at this site have been great. Everything is orderly, instructions are clear, and even when the queues are long they are actively looking for anyone who may need extra assistance to ensure they're being taken care of.”

“The best playground in the Wellington region. Close to brewtown and nice green spaces too! Have a day out in upper hutt.”

“Before travelling to New Zealand we researched all of the Escape Rooms that we wanted to play and our #1 choice was Atlantis however there was only 2 of us so we chose the Temple game and it was amazing. Fortunately we were there on the day that the Owner was present and she invited us to play Atlantis at the other location. Woowza! It was everything that we hoped it would be and more. The photos don't show the full scope of the game and I won't give away any spoilers but even half of this game is better than most any other games we have played (over 100 each). You won't find a better immersive game than Atlantis. It rivals the best anywhere. If it was in a large European city or LA in the US it would be booked up solid. If you are anywhere close to Wellington, do yourselves a favor and play any of the 3 games from Escape Mate. You will be glad that you did!”

“Nice playground for the kids. It has a bigger space for the kids and lots of things to play with. if you want to spend some time with your kids bring them here because lots of fun things you can do here with the kids.even if you want to go for a walk with the kids there's not a bad place i enjoyed my time with my daughter.”

“Always a pleasure buying from my favourite shop in wellington. You make "buying on the line" far too easy!!!”

“Hello Paula We have today made a purchase from your Paraparaumu store and want to compliment you on the high standards of service received. Sarah was very attentive to us and very knowledgeable about the product line we were interested in. She demonstrated an in depth appreciation of what our requirements were and answered all of our questions regarding different aspects of the product. In our fifty-six years of marriage we have dealt with a large number of retail sales people and have to tell you that Sarah rates right up there with the best, we couldn't be more satisfied. The store is a credit to yourself and the staff you employ. Kind regards J & B Marshall.”

“Strongly recommend trying out a class at the Circus Hub! I've been doing it for years and have always found the instructors and classmates to be very supportive. They work with you regardless of your level and always make me feel welcome.”

“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”

“Loved studying here - would definitely recommend studying here if you are interested in training in the ECE sector.”

“What a hidden treasure this is. Ducks, gardens, eels and a place for children to play. Reminds me of Englands allotments gardens.”

“Well this was a Vincent Van Gogh exhibition and so it was extra special. But there is often a lot going on around here during the busy season.”

“Exquisite nature at this place in the morning at 8:30am in Oct. Abundant bird life with tuis and kaka tracking high over head. Stately natives reaching for the sky.”

“Great place for kids, $2 koha. Friendly and helpful staff. Open most days, closed on statutory holidays. Programme can be found online or in the door. Pram parking bay outside. Nappy change, photo booth, drawing table, anything u need they have it. Highly recommend.”

“Watched the Irish folk band. Great music great atmosphere. The 3 dancers were fabulous. Thanks for a great evening”
