     Topic: WELLINGTON PEOPLE I NEED YOUR HELP!!     Posted: 21 July 2010 at 1:58pm |

   I am having lunch with my father next week in Wellington CBD, are there any child friendly cafes? Most I know of are either upstairs or very limited space or no change table. I know there is the Southern Cross place up Cuba, just wondering if there is anything else? 
 
 Has to be CBD as neither of us have a car! I can take Lily in the front pack if need be, but was planning to take the P&T so she could have a snooze!

   Brooklyn Cafe on college street is child friendly, not sure about the change facility but the have a kids play area so possiblly.
 Enigma on Courtney Place is quite large so plenty of room for a pram.

   Te papa?  I like brooklyn cafe as it has a little slide set which the kids love and you can ring and get them to reserve a table near the play area (well they've done this before).

   Hi Nicole
 
 Brooklyn cafe is great - can be pricey but not so bad if you just have counter food rather than something off the menu.  I often meet DH there for lunch on Fridays and it usually costs us about $25-$30, including two rather large coffees! :-)

   I personally wouldn't take kids to Dixon St Deli as it's way too tight and fairly noisy depending what time you're there. If it's a nice day Astoria on Lambton Quay is good because you can at least sit outside. L'Affaire, Clarks in the library, and even the Fishermans Table is ok but it's a bit further out.

   I 2nd Te papa, lots of space, its fairly reasonable and not too noisy if you want to get someone to have a sleep.
