Auckland is a genuinely good city for families. There's a mix of free outdoor stuff and paid experiences that kids actually enjoy and adults don't hate.
- Free beaches and regional parks across the city
- Zoos, aquariums and museums worth the entry fee
- Weekend markets kids enjoy wandering through
- Outdoor playgrounds and open spaces
- School holiday programmes and special events
- Day trips to nearby islands and beaches
