  1. Sports and Swimming Pools

Sports, Swimming Pools...and Ice Cream

Learning to swim is a great use of school holidays in a number of locations. If the kids can already swim, swimming pool entry for anyone 16 and under is free. The Auckland Council operates pools throughout the city, with facilities such as wave pools, spas, outdoor pools, dive pools and hydro slides.
​
Take to the Skates...on Ice
Many kids take to ice skating without any fear - Paradice offers four-hour and six-and-a-half hour sessions for around $15, including skate hire. 

Grab a Game of Mini Golf
Lilliput offers mini golf in Tamaki Drive, Sylvia Park, Auckland Central and New Lynn, with kids and adults costing $10 and $13 respectively.

Go Bowling
Bowling is a great afternoon or evening activity with a group of kids. Metrolanes  and Xtreme both offer a game of ten pin bowling for around $12 per child, with Monday and Tuesday visits offering deals and discounts.

Take to the Clip ‘n Climb
The popular Clip ‘n Climb offers sessions every hour for around $22,  including a 10-minute warm-up.

Explore the Auckland Surroundings

Auckland has some fantastic scenery and nature waiting to be discovered. Best of all, these suggestions are all free and world-famous. Please be aware that many of the beaches listed below have extremely dangerous currents - we do not suggest swimming in any of them. 
  1. Muriwai Gannet Colony and Muriwai Beach - perfect on a windy day, thousands of gannets soar around their nesting grounds. Kids love the walk to the lookout point, and a visit to the Muriwai beach afterwards makes for a good walk.
  2. Piha Beach, Karekare beach and Kitekite Falls - iconic Piha, black sands Karekare and a waterfall walk makes a perfect day in West Auckland. 
  3. Shakespear Regional Park (Whangaparaoa) and Orewa Beach - scenic beaches beyond the North Shore make for a great day out.
  4. Mount Eden - climbing up the summit for 360-degree views of Auckland is popular when the weather is agreeable. 
  5. ​Get Geocaching - guaranteed to get the kids out of the house and into the (urban) wilderness, this guide details how to get involved and what you need to head off.

Visit Auckland's 'Big Five' Attractions that Kids Love

Tripadvisor's list, based on thousands of five-star reviews, puts these attractions as the most popular for kids:
  1. Sculptureum - despite family passes costing around $100 (2 adults, 3 kids), this Matakana-based attraction is highly rated and arguably one of Auckland's top attractions.
  2. Cornwall Park and One Tree Hill - a perfect spot for picnics, walks and adventures, with a free-to-use BBQ area, with a working farm kids love.
  3. Rangitoto Island - with regular ferries from Devonport and Auckland Central, climbing the crater and exploring the shoreline make Rangitoto a great day trip.
  4. Auckland War Memorial Museum, Wintergardens and Auckland Domain - the museum usually runs special events during the school holidays and the domain makes for a great walk. A visit to the wintergardens houses hundreds of tropical plants kids will find entertaining.
  5. Tawharanui Regional Park - a bit of a drive from Auckland, this nature sanctuary has great walks, stunning beaches, working farms and thousands of birds.

Garden and Harvesting

Gardening is a great way to get the kids outside with purpose, and if you don't have a vegetable garden, there are fun alternatives...

Get into the garden
If you have a vegetable garden, the Tui New Zealand Planting Calendar guides you through what to plant at different times of the year. For example, April school holidays are a perfect time for planting parsnips, June works for carrots and September is great for beans, December/January works for cucumber. The kids will also appreciate eating them if they've planted them, and it is guaranteed to cut down on the grocery bills. Furthermore, Auckland's climate is so agreeable that you may find planting small fruit trees worthwhile - a visit to the garden centre is also fun for the kids.
 
Pick your own fruit
December and January are when strawberries come into season, and pick-your-own is a great half-day activity, with many options found in West Auckland. Best of all, it's much cheaper than the supermarket or fruit store. 

Pokémon Go
While we don't advocate the extended use of phones and screens, Pokémon Go gets kids outside running around and getting outside the house. It's free to download, but the app does use data and there are in-app purchases - de-link your credit card and set a PIN to avoid nasty bills.

Zoo and Animal Park Deals, and Children's Farms

Auckland is spoiled for choice when it comes to animal experiences. Annual passes can make it slightly less expensive if the kids can commit to going more than three or four times a year.

Auckland Zoo
Lions, meerkats, elephants, giraffes - what's not to like? Pricing is around $13 for kids under 15, but you can get an annual family pass for $220 which includes two adults and three kids, which means it pays for itself after three or four visits within 12 months. 

Kiwi Valley Farm Park and Maze
Kiwi Valley offers a lot - animal feeding, unlimited horse and pony rides, a maze, tractor rides and more. Children are $15 each, adults $18, and a group-of-five pass is $70. Kiwi Valley continues to be highly praised by children and adults. 

Butterfly Creek
Animal farms, tropical fish, dinosaurs and activities make Butterfly Creek a great day out, with all-attraction tickets around $16 (kids) and $28 (adults) and discounts for family passes. The annual pass (around $259), like Auckland Zoo, will pay for itself when you visit at least three times a year.

Arts & Crafts

Craft with purpose using our list below - top tips include volunteering for the SPCA by crafting (great for the CV) and letting the kids go crazy with the comic book albums.

Make Crafts for the SPCA
The SPCA always needs toys and play items for cats and dogs awaiting new homes. Their list of suggested items has instructions on how to make them. Any kids aged 16 or over can also volunteer their time to work at the SPCA. 

Buy a Craft kit
Spotlight, Kmart and The Warehouse all sell dozens of craft kits, starting from around $5. Hours of fun assured. 

Create a Photo Comic Book Album for Free
This nifty tool puts your kids in control of creating a quirky, personalised photo album from your existing photos, or encourages them to take more and put it all together.

Make a box village
Always reliable; you can get boxes from supermarkets and liquor shops - kids love putting together a mini city. Best of all, you can fold the boxes away for re-use. 

Paint stones and rocks
This video guide makes it easy, with minimum craft supplies required. Will entertain kids for hours.

General Fun Stuff

Avoid the howls of 'I'm booooooooorrreeddd' with this list of 10 popular quick-win activities, with something for children of all ages.  
  1. Use Youtube to learn a card game, magic trick or origami
  2. ​Fly a kite...or build one with paper and balsa wood
  3. Build an indoor fort with sofas and some bed sheets
  4. Play frisbee
  5. Complete a jigsaw
  6. Get into papier-mâché
  7. Make a batch of homemade play dough
  8. Create a time capsule and bury it in the garden
  9. Get the kids to plan and host a movie night; design tickets, make popcorn and set the room up
  10. Have a spring clean of things you don't need (and give them away, or sell them using our Trade Me tips)

Bonus - our list of kids eat free restaurants in Auckland can make an excellent reward for good behaviour.

Competitions

Much more fun than watching TV and a lot less emotional than a game of Monopoly, competitions are a great way to get the kids to develop their creativity. Our suggestions include:
  1. Play Spot and Find - this popular Youtube channel has hundreds of videos challenging views to name the odd one out, spot hidden items and makes for a perfect hour or so if it's wet outside.
  2. Have a Stacking Cups Competition - paper cups are cheap and don't go to waste - building a 'house of cups' is going to entertain the kids for a while.
  3. Sandcastle Competition - if you have a sandpit or head to the beach, this makes for a perfect couple of hours.
  4. ​Get the Kids to Design their own Treasure Hunt with Clues - it takes a bit of time, but if you encourage them each to create a 5 to 10 step treasure hunt, the results will be worth it. For example, the first clue can be "Clothes like me" which can lead to the (less-obvious) washing machine, where the next clue is waiting. And so on...
  5. ​Have a Picture-Taking Contest - give the kids a phone and challenge them to take interesting photos around the home, or on a day out.

Baking and Cooking

Baking and school holidays are synonymous, and our list of three recipes below are very popular. Pro tip - make sure you get the kids to agree to do the dishes after - things can get messy!

New Zealand Baking Classics
Baking is guaranteed to fill a morning and popular recipes for kids, which conveniently don't require many ingredients, include:
  1. Banana Muffins - highly rated among Kiwi parents 
  2. Anzac Biscuits - now with pumpkin and sunflower seeds
  3. Nutty Banana Loaf With Cream Cheese Icing 

MasterChef Pizza Competition
Depending on the age, a pizza-making competition is a great idea to use up some stuff in the fridge and keep the kids entertained. You can award the winner with a blind test. Avoid store-bought pizza bases and get inspiration from Jamie Oliver's pizza dough recipe as well. ​
