Family fun in Wellington
Wellington packs a huge amount of family fun into a compact, walkable city. From the waterfront playgrounds and the cable car up to the Botanic Garden, to Zealandia, Te Papa and the Wellington Zoo, there's always something on for the kids. The capital's famous weather is no barrier either — museums, indoor play centres, pools and cinemas keep the little ones busy on the windy, rainy days. Funday pulls together the best events, places and activities across Te Whanganui-a-Tara so families can find something to do today, this weekend or over the school holidays.
