Christchurch, the Garden City, and the Canterbury region are the perfect destination for daredevils. From northern Kaikoura to Waimate in the south, Canterbury is an adventure sports paradise. Hangliding, helibiking, bungee jumping, snowboarding, jetboating, rafting and skydiving get the adrenaline going. Golfing, flightseeing, swimming with dolphins and soaking in thermal pools are more laid-back temptations. Christchurch, a city of parks and gardens, is the countrys third largest urban area.

We had an amazing afternoon with Neil and Sandra for my husband’s birthday. Right from the initial communications/planning stages everything went super smoothly. Neil was a fantastic instructor-super patient with adults and children alike, and wonderfully enthusiastic when anyone managed to actually hit a clay/target!...And surprisingly we all managed to hit at least one. We loved his dog Teddy too! Really hope to come back and repeat the fun -we will definitely do it again. Thanks so much guys!

Paint 'n' Sip Studio is Christchurch's one and only paint & sip destination! Start with a blank canvas and sip your way to a one of a kind masterpiece. A local artist will guide you step by step to complete the featured painting of the night while socialising with friends over a wine or beer! Fun, easy and no artistic ability or experience necessary! Scheduled sessions are Tues-Sat 7pm - 9pm. Painting calendar changes monthly.
Fun night. Great leader that showed us many techniques that we needed. Great platters and full bar available. They are moving to the art centre next week which will be better for business. Highly recommend. I am really impressed with my painting.

Two great choices of outrageous fun on 3 wheels: -Wind powered blokart (land yachts) and Electric Driftkarts. We have two purpose built tracks in Christchurch where you can hire a kart and have some fun with family, friends and colleagues. Blokarts are an amazingly inclusive activity for all ages (8 to 80+) and abilities. We have 2 person karts for those who aren't quite able to go it alone or prefer to share the experience. Being powered by nature ticks the sustainability box for guilt free fun. Grab a group of 6-12 people and try our our unique Human Foosball, the only one of it's kind in Christchurch. Just like the table game except you are the players. Hilarious fun and as competitive as you want this complements our energy efficient activities, harnessing Human Power. Fun for all, individuals and groups.
Excellent outfit; very attentive, understanding (when the conditions during the holidays weren't up to scratch for the karts to really go - winds too light - they were more than happy to rebook the time for another day when there was more action free, which was great!). My 3 younger kids had an absolute blast, and loved it (second time around when there was enough wind to go properly!). I would highly recommend this to anyone - I consider it really good value for money. Really friendly and helpful staff; really good equipment and set up. Definitely going again!

Escape Artists Christchurch is the first escape room in Christchurch. Step inside one of our exceptionally themed rooms and work your way through a series of challenging, fun puzzles, codes and riddles to 'escape' You have 60 Minutes to solve the theme of the room by using problem your best communication, problem solving, logical mind! We also welcome larger groups and families.
I completed both fbi and the Tesla room, the fbi was fun and enjoyable very worth it. The Tesla room was out of this world!! I have now completed 40 rooms and this one was the best by far, even compared to the ones in Bali and Thailand that I have done, the technology used is amazing, I wish I could say more but I don’t want to spoil anything. The staff are very friendly and if I could give this a higher rating I would. Couldn’t have asked for a better time. (And I know a thing or two about escape rooms) Well done!

There are a wide variety of activities for all levels - water fun, climbing, swinging, relaxing, flying fox, sliding, spinning, and so much more. The teens and older take over at night, and seem to have as much fun as the children.

Designed, built and run by a team of Kiwi climbers and yoga teachers, Uprising is home to a huge bouldering gym, yoga studio and a fitness gym all under one roof. There’s even a cafe serving our own signature blend of locally roasted coffee, and a pro shop for apparel and gear. Bouldering at Uprising is an indoor adventure sport activity. It’s fitness in disguise, challenging and fun for both the muscles and the mind.
A range of creative bouldering problems; there's something for everyone I would think - beyond the climb, there's yoga, a fitness gym, and massages available. If you sign up for 4 weeks' membership, it's just a dollar more per day than the day rate, and includes a yoga class and a discount on massage. I go to a pretty great climbing gym back home in the states, and Uprising definitely stands up (pun intended). Like any successful gym this has also got a well-loved community vibe, and staff that love climbing. There's a lounge above the kitchen with couches and tables, so you can work and fuel up on coffee between climbs, and they cook a mean thin-crust pizza.

My partner and I went to Supa Karts during the week and loved every minute of it. We were very impressed with the quality of the indoor track. The staff were friendly and accommodating, especially Mitch who took some photos/videos of our time there. The owners Nick and his wife were lovely to chat to and made our day extra special. Thanks again!

Deluxe houses two boutique state-of-the-art gold class cinemas. Everything has been carefully designed to ensure a world class experience, from luxuruous seating with inbuilt trays, all with carefully constructed site-lines. A licensed cafe and wine bar provides a great accompaniment to your chosen show and further enhance your premium movie experience.
Great little art cinema. They seem to show a variety of movies + have singalong musical sessions sometimes. Comfy seats, small venue, 2 screens, friendly staff. I loved having a mulled wine and cheeseboard to enjoy during the movie.
