The activity trail will be running between: 10AM – 3PM, every day of the school holidays (29th March - 19 April).

There are over 100 places to eat and drink in Takapuna, so support local by grabbing that morning coffee, meet some friends for lunch, and take a stroll through the shops after enjoying the fun throughout the day.
