Best Things to Do in Christchurch, with baby

Isaac Theatre Royal is 40% Baby-Friendly

Lifts permit pram entry and staff can suggest quiet corners, yet no baby-change tables, no baby-friendly shows and loud acoustics make visits uncomfortable for most infants.

Recommended visit duration: 2–3 hours

Timezone Riccarton is 39% Baby-Friendly

Infants may enter and Westfield offers nursing rooms and stroller hire, but the arcade itself lacks change tables, has flashing lights, loud audio and zero baby-level play options.

Recommended visit duration: 1-2 hours

Oderings Garden Centre Barrington is 38% Baby-Friendly

Babies in sturdy prams can enter, but gravel aisles, no in-store change table, and closed café mean caregivers must detour to the mall parents room, making visits short and less convenient.

Recommended visit duration: 1–2 hours

Holey Moley Golf Club Christchurch is 38% Baby-Friendly

Babies may enter free before 8 pm, but there are no change tables, nursing rooms or quiet corners; tight fairways, strobe lighting and loud speakers make stroller access and settling difficult.

Recommended visit duration: 2-3 hours

Uprising is 38% Baby-Friendly

You may roll a pram into the café and use accessible toilets, but no confirmed change tables, no baby activities, and chalky air plus falling climbers make floor areas unsafe for infants.

Recommended visit duration: 1–2 hours

Lumiere Cinemas is 29% Baby-Friendly

Infants may enter but there are no parent-and-baby screenings, limited pram space, change tables are in another building and normal sound levels risk distress, so only flexible parents should try.

Supa Karts - Next Level Karting is 24% Baby-Friendly

Babies cannot ride; spectator area is noisy and fume-filled, and no advertised nursing or change facilities exist, so only a brief watch is possible after confirming pram space by phone.

Escape Artists Christchurch is 21% Baby-Friendly

Babies are allowed only in the reception; the locked rooms are dim and hands-on, so they cannot accompany parents. There is no nursing room, change table, or stroller access inside rooms.

Inception Gym 24/7 Tower Junction is 12% Baby-Friendly

No crèche, nursing room, stroller space, or change tables exist, and clanging weights create safety risks, making a visit with a baby possible in theory but strongly inadvisable for comfort and safety.

Christchurch Casino is 8% Baby-Friendly

The same 20-year age restriction excludes babies completely; there are no pram-storage spots, changing tables or nursing rooms, making a visit with an infant impossible.
