It's fun on demand at Rainbow's End so how will you play it? With over 20 rides and attractions, there's something for everyone. Try out the brand new AA Driver’s Town! This is an amazing attraction for children up to 12 years old where kids are be able to get behind the wheel in miniature Suzuki Swift vehicles and try out their driving skills in a miniature town. From thrill rides like Stratosfear, Fearfall and Power Surge to family fun on the Log Flume, Bumper Boats and Karts there is something everyone will enjoy. Kidz Kingdom is also at Rainbow’s End and is especially for kids 8 years and under. There are lots of rides for kids and the whole area is fully covered so it’s a perfect place to visit rain or shine. Rainbow's End offers great value for money as you only pay one entry price which covers all your rides as many times as you like! Located only 20 minutes drive from the CBD with lots of free parking. See you soon at Rainbow's End! Open every day except Christmas Day.

6. Sky Tower
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 9 reviews
Auckland's Sky Tower is the tallest structure in the Southern Hemisphere, this tower is more than 300 metres high. Offering stunning views, along with award winning restaurants, a gift shop and an opportunity to push your limits by walking the outside of the viewing platforms, or by jumping off from 192 metres above Auckland's CBD.

The Sky Tower was a great experience. The lifts were readily available and quick. The glass panel in the floor was a good touch. The views from the viewing platforms were superb. They keep you informed when and if there is anyboby going to do the jump. We were fortunate and got a couple of great shots of someone in mid air. Noit overly expensive and well worth a visit.
7. Relaxing Journeys - Day Tours
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 30 reviews
You've made the decision to visit New Zealand for a once in a lifetime holiday - our aim is to make that a reality. Relaxing Journeys is New Zealand owned and operated, offering a broader range of New Zealand tours than anyone else in the country (over 500 NZ tours), and the tour operators we work with are the very best in their field.

This company is just a middleman for selling tours in NZ. I had booked Arthur's Pass Transalpine train journey through Relaxing Journeys which was then outsourced to Canterbury Trails tours. Unlike a lot of other tour operators neither Relaxing Journeys nor their operators offer alternatives for a crappy weather day - the only option was to bail out (and pay full fees) or go in rainy weather with no views, no hikes & feeling cold and wet the entire day of the tour.
The tour started with an operator Peter arriving at my hotel with wrong info. When I approached him, he waved me off saying that he was waiting for a couple instead. Turned out that the couple had bailed out due to weather but due to some miscommunication he thought that he had to wait for them & not me. We wasted 15-20 mins to sort this out. I don't understand why he didn't look through his portfolio of papers, he had my info nevertheless. So unprofessional!!
Next, he dropped me to the railway station. The train ride was super boring in rains with no views. I got off at Arthur's pass station & we drove in pouring rain to Devils' punchbowl to hike in wet weather for ~45 mins. It wasnt any fun. Next, we stopped for lunch & then had to skip couple of hikes (Castle Rock & Caves) due to inclement weather. During the drive back to Christchurch, the wind & rains were so bad that our vehicle shook multiple times on the road. It was totally unsafe & uncool.
I cannot fathom, why these operators do not allow to switch to another day or refund the fees. I had two other operators at Frank Josef & Lake Tekapo who, due to bad weather, provided me alternative tours & also an option to take a refund.
I do NOT recommend either Relaxing Journeys or Canterbury Trails. They dont want to cancel the tour so they dont lose money but dont care if you have a crappy day instead.
8. Jump

JUMP is a spring-loaded urban playground with a range of activities for everyone to enjoy. JUMP is made up of hundreds of square metres of interlocking trampolines covering the floor space and going up the walls. We also have a 20ft foam pit area to JUMP into from a set of 'runway' trampolines, a trampoline dodgeball court and other fun accessories like a basketball hoop for extreme dunking. Suitable for all ages, regardless of your skill/fitness level JUMP caters for everyone. This is all made safe with soft landing surfaces, lots of padding and gymnastic grade foam creating a platform to burn energy while having the most fun you can possibly imagine.

Jump is the best place to go when you need to blow some steam or calories. Its reasonably priced and a great way to get some physical activity in. It consists of large trampolines, a foam pit, basketball net and dodgeball court. Each session is an hour but its way more than enough to learn how to do a quick backflip into the foam pit
9. Howick Village Farmers Market

Reviewed By santo t - Auckland, New Zealand
It is good Saturday Market, where variety of foods, fresh vegetable and fruits, breads, sausages, bacon are available, farmer market style at weekend. It is a small in size, and do not compared with the size of much bigger flea markets, such as Avondale (Sunday) or Otara (Saturday). Anyway it is good place to be visited on weekend. Cafe and restaurant are available nearby, and parking could be difficult on busy hours.

Paid a visit with family had had a great time racing around the track. Bit of friendly rivalry with my son and daughter made it interesting. Good speed on the karts. Did a 20 minute ride and was given a few extra minutes because nobody else was there. Would definitely go back.
