Barnett Park is 74% Kids-Friendly

Recommended visit duration: 2-3 hours

Apollo Projects Stadium is 73% Kids-Friendly
School-age children are welcome at all-ages games; 2-Game Pass gives free kids’ meals, flat concourse lets them move, and staff can help with prams, but loud tackles and no play zone may overwhelm under-12s.

Canterbury Museum is 72% Kids-Friendly
Kids enjoy Christchurch Street model, moa skeletons and free scavenger trails, but the former hands-on Discovery gallery is shut, so interactive play is limited and some may tire sooner.

Grass to run, duck spotting and hidden sculptures entertain children, and tram or punt rides add fun, but no playground or toilets inside means a 450 m walk to Tūranga for facilities.

New Regent Street Precinct is 71% Kids-Friendly
