School Holidays 22nd Sep - 3rd October
Keep the Kids Busy (and Your Sanity Intact)
School holidays are here, chaos levels rising, energy off the charts, and parents everywhere silently praying for a little peace. But luckily Auckland has some fun, quirky, and downright cool programs to keep kids of all ages entertained, educated and maybe even a little tired by bedtime.
Think big shows, quirky workshops, and plenty of free family fun - We The Young is Auckland’s new festival made just for kids and teens.
Get your kids some sick skills for summer at the Ultimate Kids Surf Camp.
Or if they’d rather stay dry while appreciating our Moana try Ocean Youth Aotearoa program.
The Great Lock In 2025
Day 10/75 Hard (or something like it)
Last week was full of run clubs to get your schedule packed with outdoor workouts. But if solo runs are more your thing - or you’d rather walk - check out these great spots around Auckland. Each one comes with a bonus farmers’ market right next door, so you can stack your habits, get your weekly produce, and support local.
Te Ara Manawa Coastal Walkway (approx. 5km loop) - Right next to Catalina Bay Farmers Market, open every Saturday and Sunday from 8:30am–2pm.
Auckland Domain (approx. 5km loop) - Do a couple of laps and check out the daffodils and magnolias starting to bloom, then head to the Parnell Farmers’ Market, open every Saturday from 8am–12pm.
Takapuna Beach (2 full laps approx. 5km return) - Strut the sand, pat some dogs, and finish at Takapuna Beach Market, open every Sunday from 7am–12pm.
