Ain't No Party Like A Bookstore Party
- 129Hard to Find BooksOnehungaThis place is a treasure trove of great books, and half the fun is in searching through the shelves, and climbing up the rickety ladders to get to upstairs nooks. There’s a wide range of interesting genres stocked. It’s easy to wile away a few hours without even realising - a great way to spend an afternoon!
- 235Time Out BookstoreMount EdenA Mt Eden village institution, this place is super cute and even has it’s own cat! The staff are all really lovely and knowledgeable, full of great recommendations - makes you glad you didn’t buy from somewhere online.
- 338Unity Books LimitedAuckland CentralFull of gorgeous books, the window display lures me in every time - its always packed full of beautiful art related books. They’re really well stocked here - they’ve never not had something I’ve been specifically looking for, from classics to contemporary novels - and other interesting things will always catch my eye too. Unity has the best range of non-fiction. Highly recommended!
- 413The Women's BookshopPonsonbyThis place has a great atmosphere - they’re really passionate about what they do. As the name suggests there’s a focus on women’s interests, but i’m also always surprised by the great range outside of this that’s on offer. Lots of great children’s books too, and they are specially known for stocking therapy and counselling books.
- 59Cook The BooksGrey LynnIt’s a real treat to pop in here - all of the books are full of beautiful mouthwatering photography, and make you feel excited and inspired to spend some quality time in the kitchen! They also offer cooking classes that I’ve heard heaps of people rave about - I’m super keen to try the cheese making class!

Fun ways to keep fit
- 11Fighting Fit AcademyPanmureAs you ascend the wrought iron steps the sense of exertion and combat is overwhelming. The metallic scent from the stairs replaced with the sweet smell of sweat as the cool air outside is replaced with the heavy, humidity of a real martial arts and fight gym. The grunts of effort and the instructions of trainers build to a crescendo as a new class begins.
- 212A strong sense of community and camaraderie combined with facilities and people suited to every goal and achievement. Everyday curlers & serious lifters alike congregate and co-relate with cardio bunnys and Commonwealth hopefuls in the pool.
- 32Ground Control BJJ & MMA AucklandEast TamakiThe real-time chess game that is Brazilian Jiu Jitsu unfolding as Gi clad warriors grapple for advantage and use every ounce of their technique to finish. Patience and passion are virtues of victory on the mat and paid for with sweat, time and tears.
- 42Auckland MMAPakuranga EastThe evolution of martial arts is a living, breathing process. Techniques from East to West combine into the ultimate form of self defense. The chorus of grunts emanating from the choir of combatants as they compete for supremacy builds steadily until the coach calls training to a close. This is Auckland MMA.
- 55Boxstars 24hr Gym, Health & Fitness CentreEast TamakiPushing yourself to the limit with the support needed to achieve greatness. The awakening of spirit and strength from within as you transform and gain the tools required to be a real fitness star.

Educational places for kids
- 1107MOTAT Museum of Transport and TechnologyWestern SpringsI love going back in time with each visit to MOTAT. It’s the perfect place to take the family for both fun and learning. From groping your way through textile tunnels to chugging along the tram track in a vintage carriage, there is something for everyone. I always come away having learnt something new!
- 2293Auckland ZooWestern SpringsWhat is not to love about the Zoo? Even those of us who would prefer the animals lived in their natural environment, we have to admit the Auckland Zoo has created enclosures as similar as possible to their natural home, and provide for all their needs. Watch the elephants bathing, talk to the parrots, hug a lion. No, don’t do that one. Educate the family on the vast array of God’s creatures and have a picnic amongst the wildlife.
- 394Butterfly CreekAuckland AirportIt is quite a surreal experience to be surrounded by hundreds of butterflies, flying around and even landing on you! The rainbow-coloured array of these beautiful winged creatures is just serene. But it’s not just about butterflies. There are other critters you can pat and feed, and even an alligator to hold! Well worth a visit with all the family.
- 432Crystal MountainSwansonThis is a fascinating place to take the kids. With a petting zoo of farm animals to pat, feed and ride, a train and a mini rollercoaster to enjoy, and gold to be panned for, there is still enough time to spend admiring the incredible array of crystals in the shop - after a visit underground down the elevator! A wonderful combination of fun and learning!
- 5113Auckland War Memorial MuseumParnellNot just all about war - although there is something humbling about looking at uniforms worn by people who fought and died for our country - the Museum houses a fascinating display of relics and pieces of history drawn together to teach us about life. Visit the 1800’s on the top floor. Count how many bugs are in the critter display. Learn about volcanoes and hold on to your seat in the earthquake room!

Outdoor adventures
- 190Went to Kelly Tarlton's to experience the underwater world sea creatures. It was truly an absolutely amazing experience and we enjoyed it very much. Will definitely be taking my family for a beautiful underwater world experience.
- 271SnowplanetSilverdaleWOW, what a fantastic place for all people who love snow. I went with a group of friends and we truly enjoyed ourselves very much. As we had never experience what snow was like, our time at snowplanet was amazing. We did skiing and going up the cable car. Though it was a challenge we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
- 39Lilliputt Mini GolfParnellAs we had bought vouchers, we went to Lilliputt Mini Golf and enjoyed the golfing. Its really fun when you go with a group of friends. Everyone was in competition with each other trying to see who can get the ball in the hole with the minimum about of golfing. As we go from one round to the other, it becomes harder but also gets more fun.
- 419Metrolanes BowlingAuckland CentralThe whole family was really happy that a new bowling place called Metrolanes Bowling has opened right in the heart of Auckland City. It is centrally located in the same building as the Event Cinemas, which makes it a perfect indoor activity for the entire family. We had a very enjoyable time playing bowling. Looking forward to taking my best friends down for a game of bowling.
- 513Newmarket Tenpin BowlingNewmarketWe went with a group of friends and played a couple of bowling games. We truly enjoyed it very much. Will definitely return back again. Staff too were very polite and helpful.
