Things to do in auckland over easter

There is a great park down at orakei, along tamaki drive....or head to Western Springs to the park and feed the ducks. The museum often has great kids stuff on during school hols too...easy walk from parnell!

There is a great playpark at the zoo end of Western Springs too. The geese down there can get a bit "keen" sometimes, but am sure you will be fine!

There are ducks in the domain too, just down from the museum in the ponds near the Winter Garden glass houses.

 

The ferry to Devonport is pretty cheap and only 8 mins each way. There is a good playground right there and lots of nice cafes, some with kids areas. We just did this with our playgroup, caught train and then ferry. The ride was the fun bit! $15 for all day travel (train and ferry) for adults and kids were free.

Mission Bay playground is awesome and lots of places for icecream/takeaways.

There are cool things to do just in queen st, my 3 yo just found being there interesting and all the squares have sculptures to climb, big open spaces to chase the pigeons. Maybe the Sky tower?

Dare i suggest the Easter Show? I found it too much with the crowds a few years ago but the boy i took loved the wood chopping.

Out past Butterfly Creek there is a place you can park up and watch the planes land.

I found a list of all Auckland playgrounds today. It gives a good description of each one, age, size of playground.

We're up there next week so doing my own research
