Best kid friendly eateries
- 12Brothers Juke Joint BBQMt EdenKid friendly, great food and craft beers with large open plan seating and outdoor area with a sandpit to keep the kids entertained. Also right next to t Eden train stations, so leave the car at home!
- 261Neighbourhood BrewbarKingslandKids menu with free drink & ice cream. It’s decent size bar with lots of interesting features for kids to explore and a separate library bar with a big box of toys to keep little ones entertained. Nice outdoor area out the front, although is right on the main road so need to keep and eye on little ones. Great views of Mt Eden stadium.
- 34Citizen ParkKingslandNice outdoor area that is enclosed so you don’t have to worry about little ones wandering out in to the street or road. Can get quite busy and pushed for space if you have a pram.
