The Christchurch Tram is a great way to explore the city with live commentary from the friendly and knowledgeable driver. There are 18 stops that you can hop on and hop off throughout the inner city, be sure to stop at the Margaret Mahy Playground for some fun in the sun.

After some family adventure? Head to Velocity Karts for a unique experience like no other or make your way to Christchurch Adventure Park for some adrenalin pumping activities like ziplining or downhill mountain biking.

Christchurch is full of family fun activities to suit your interest. Then when its time to refuel, Riverside Market or Little High is the perfect place that will suit even the fussiest diners. 

Christchurch CBD have a variety of family friendly accommodations.

Spend the day exploring nature’s playground in Akaroa, only 90 minutes drive from Christchurch. Get up close with the world’s smallest and rarest dolphins with a dolphin swim or a harbour cruise. See the Little Blue Penguins in their natural habitat with Pohatu Penguins or hand feed some seriously cute and very photogenic alpacas at Shamarra Alpacas.

Feeling a bit peckish? Enjoy a fish and chip lunch on the wharf or have lunch at one of the many cafes and restaurants in the village.

A family holiday isn’t complete without any photos so head over to the Giants House where every corner you turn there is a mosaic backdrop waiting for you to pose.

Travel back to Christchurch with an ice cream stop at Little River.
