Skiing and snowboarding has never been so popular, and the school holidays are the perfect time to introduce kids (5-16 years) to snow sports. Let them gain confidence and learn new skills in a safe, friendly and encouraging environment while under the guidance of Snowplanet's friendly Ski & Board School.

Children are placed into groups depending on age, skill level and choice of skiing/snowboarding. This way Snowplanet can ensure faster and more efficient learning. Not only will your kids have a great time, but they will meet other budding young athletes too.

If your kids are food lovers, indulge in a delicious smoothie, ice cream, or sticky dessert at one of the many cafes and restaurants, and let your kids enjoy spending their pocket money at the malls and quaint local shopping centres. There are a number of larger malls including Westfield Albany, Glenfield Mall, Shore City in Takapuna, Milford Centre. Check out the options with Google.

If you'd rather visit the charm of a North Shore town centre there are lots scattered across the region with some of the main ones being -

  1. Takapuna: Takapuna has an abundance of shops, cafes, restaurants, and bars. It has a historic theatre, The Pumphouse Theatre which was originally a water pumping station located on the banks of Lake Pupuke. It also has a popular, sandy beach so icecream then beach walk is always on the cards for the kids!
  2. Devonport: Beautiful Devonport is full of charm with it's beautiful Victorian architecture, it is packed with history and filled with art galleries, boutique shops, and cafes. Also home to the iconic Devonport Ferry Terminal, its a great spot if you fancy taking the kids over to the city for a quick trip to downtown Auckland.
  3. Milford: Milford is small but really bustling centre with a good range of specialty shops, cafes, and restaurants. Great to take the kids out and then head to the beach or check out the boats in the marina.
  4. Albany: Albany was once a small centre and has a lovely pedestrian mall to the library, however in recent years it has grown rapidly and is home to lots of restaurants, cafes and is the home of Westfield Albany.
  5. Birkenhead: Birkenhead is another historic town centre with another good range of shops, restaurants, and cafes, a large supermarket, a community centre and beautiful views of Auckland harbour.

But why not take a trip to some of the smaller town centres too as each have lovely treasures to be found and many with beautiful architecture.

But you may not always want to race around the shops or have the money for the kids to indulge, in which case, for those who just want a quick getaway from home when the kids are bored, or don't want to, or haven't got the funds to spend, you can have just as much fun just spending time together.

Enjoy the holidays!
