    Review of: Margaret Mahy Family Playground
    Best Playground in Chch
    So many things for the children to do, from teeny tots to big adult kids ;)
    There is also great food vendors there (I think only on the weekend) and free BBQ's too... If you are looking for somewhere to kill time in between naps, this is the playground for your family!

    Review of: Supa Karts Indoor Raceway
    Brilliant!
    Took my neice and nephew on the tandem karts as they're bother under8. They had an absolute ball! Staff were really attentive and a good safety focus whilst remaining fun!

    Review of: Christchurch Casino
    Let your hair done and have some fun
    As casinos go this is really cool, open seven days a week. They are extremely Covid conscious so you will feel at ease. The dinning area had about 6 televisions all plying different sports good atmosphere. Only three to four at a table at least a meter apart. Masks are worn by all staff and unless you have an exempt card you too will be expected to wear a face mask, only to be taken off when you eat or drink.
    A magnitude of slot machines all set apart. We played Roulette and I came away a winner, Lol. I highly recommend a visit, a free tip, do what I do when you win, walk away with your winnings.

    Review of: Jellie Park Pools
    Good fun but busy
    I took two teens on a pretty cool day and it was still pretty busy, I imagine due to the great outdoor space it would be packed out on a hot day. The three outdoor slides were a hit for us. I can’t help thinking there must be a market for a much bigger pool complex in Christchurch. If you are tossing up between QEII and Jellie Park, definitely pick Jellie Park if the weather is hot. The indoor pool space is probably comparative to QEII anyway.

    Review of: The Roxx Climbing Centre
    Great climbing!
    We climb often at our hometown and had a great time climbing here. Friendly staff, serious about safety and a whole variety of routes for beginner to advanced. Will come again next time we're in Chch.

    Review of: Addington Raceway
    Day at the Dogs
    Went to the public bar downstairs -Spectators- not a bad little place with some decent beers and food. It has a nice spot outside. The function rooms up the top of the buliding are really excellent and work a visit if you have a bit more money to spend.

    Review of: QEII Recreation and Sport Centre
    No good for older kids.
    If you have teens, don’t bother. We found the staff friendly but with only one slide and pools mostly taken up with aqua jogging and lane swimming, this pool is no good for older kids, you have a portion of a shallow pool and pretty much nothing else. We left within an hour and went to Jellie Park instead.

    Review of: Jellie Park Recreation and Sports Centre
    Better than it used to be
    Lifeguards are now encouraged to promote the council slogan, more people more active more often meaning that you can ask for toys and inflatables are often put in including a big obstacle course for a few hours on each Sunday. Definitely better in summer with dive boards and hydroslides open but worth a visit either way - don't be afraid to ask questions!

    Review of: Newzengland Ltd - Clay Shooting & Archery Services
    Amazing
    My wife and I did the Archery and Air Rifle shooting, both were great fun. We will be back to do the Clay shooting. The activities are well instructed so even beginners like us can get into them and enjoy. Would highly recommend if your at terrace Downs or in the area to give this a go.

    Review of: CodeBreakers
    Amazing!
    We did the "Into the dark" room as a family and it was amazing! The room was engaging, immersive and challenging without being frustrating. We loved doing it in the dark - it added a fresh spin having to feel our way around the room and yell out what we found to our team. The clues were original and fun and the staff were friendly and flexible. Highly recommended!

    Review of: Uprising
    Finally a bouldering gym for the less skills among us!
    We had a fabulous time. Bouldering has got to be my least fave way to climb (because in short you aren't attached to anything that will save your life lol) but even I found climbs that I could do!

    Miss 12 thought it was going to be a pretty short visit (as I usually can't complete anything) but she was super impressed they had boulder problems at my skill level lolololol.

    The staff were fab, the food was great and the climbers were friendly, all in all, a great way to wile away a few hours (and burn some calories to boot!)
