Reviewed By JoRhys

Great fun for all of the family. Best on a windy day, so the sails fill with air to more you along fast. Staff/owners very helpful in showing and helping you when you couldn't get the wind on the sail. A must and a great price.

To provide your group of mates, tour group, stag/ hen's do or staff do with a memorable and fun experience. Choose from one or multiple activities to suit your budget.

Reviewed By Shan-Oz

What a fantastic business in Queenstown. Our group of 25 teenagers absolutely loved it and rated it as the best activity they did on an 11 day tour of New Zealand. We did the Ropes Challenge and Archery Combat, perfectly suited to our group. Event the four adult managers could get involved (and get some payback with the Archery Combat)! Penny & Aaron are wonderful to deal with, lots of fun and laughs. They were so accommodating and nothing was a bother for them. The facility is great, lots of open space to do all the activities and their office has toilets, water and a few small snacks for purchase. We will be putting The Playground on our regular itinerary from now on.

Velocity Karts

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!

Uprising

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.

Reviewed By kalenrainbow

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.

SITE Trampoline

Reviewed By 819mj - Dunedin, New Zealand

A very good indoor trampoline setup - a great rainy day activity for kids of all ages and anyone else keen to burn off some energy. Our 3.5 year old daughter had never been to a place like this before, but the staff were awesome in letting her know what to do (pretty much - just jump around!) and she was soon bouncing all over the place. There's a good range of tramps - from super-bouncy olympic-style tramps, to big soft pits & pads that the kids can launch themselves into. There's a small viewing platform for parents to watch from, although with the place pretty quiet, the staff welcomed us to roam around the place with our daughter which helped her to get confident with her leaping. We honestly thought our daughter would be bored after 15 minutes - but we had to drag her away after an hour of jumping! Decent value for money. Special shout-out to the awesome staff there on Friday morning!

Had my 6 year olds birthday party at Dig This. Just amazing, We had 20 kids on site and they were well entertained throughout. The party room was great, and Lex the junior digger instructor showed the patience of a saint getting all 20 kids through a great experience. We had a hidden treasure hunt in the sand pit and all the kids loved seeing the big diggers in action too, Just great fun, and a perfect venue for kids party's
