Winter School Holiday Activites in New Zealand

"Skate Sport Taranaki is the ultimate indoor sports arena, with roller hockey and derby, incline hockey, and figure skating! There are sessions running during the second week of the school holidays from Monday to Thursday for roller skating and on Fridays nights as well. You can even bring your own skates so you don’t have to hire any out. They also offer really cool skate lessons for no matter what level of skill you have!"

"Air-Zone is a cool new play centre for adults and children alike, the best part: it’s covered in indoor trampolines! This place is absolutely amazing for people who do gymnastics or just love to jump and flip around; and it’s somewhere adults can play with their kids and not watch from the side-lines! I love getting involved in kids’ activities but not everywhere allows the older ones to participate, but not here! They even have fitness classes which I am very tempted to try!"

"Mt Taranaki is a favourite place of mine I like to visit in winter; the snow is something that we rarely ever get in Taranaki, so going up the mountain to play in the snow is definitely a bucket-list item when in the region. Bring along anything to use in the snow; cardboard or toboggans to slide on and sandcastle tools to build snowmen with, it’s a guaranteed good day activity! Make sure you don’t forget hats and gloves!"

"I like to think that Naki Bounce is the place that makes kids dreams come true, it is after all the best place to hire out bouncy castles! With such a variety of castles to choose from, there’s a never ending choice from the pirate ships and houses, to king and queen castles and an obstacle course. And the best part is that it only costs $100 to hire them all out for four hours! This is awesome in winter to warm up the kids and get some exercise into them."
