65 Victoria Street, Wellington Central, Wellington 6011
Fully indoor Wellington creative play venue - by definition enclosed and staffed, with an accessible carousel, infant swing seat, timber box for little climbers and reading corner. Reviews rave about safety for 18-month to preschool kids. Not designed for tweens. The indoor/enclosed setup satisfies the 'let-them-loose' toddler test.
Description states the carousel is purpose built as an accessibility feature, the rope climber has accessible access built in, and the whole venue is indoors and flat with an artificial surface, removing seasonal weather barriers for wheelchair users. Parking nearby is described by some reviews as hard to find.
Nōku te Ao Capital E is an indoor creative play and arts venue for children in central Wellington, built around a lighthouse themed novelty slide, a rope climber, and a sculptural timber waka. Being fully indoors means it works whatever the weather, an easy walk from Civic Square and Lambton Quay, and it suits toddlers through to primary school age.
