Strike Entertainment Centre
Westpac Stadium

I recommend downloading the venue's app before you go. It spotlights the best spots for food and merchandise and saves time wandering around!

I suggest getting there about an hour early to soak up the atmosphere and grab some snacks. The food lines can get pretty long just before the game starts
Mountain Hunters

My advice is to book your hunt in advance, especially during peak seasons. I didn't, and I missed out on some awesome opportunities!

I recommend checking the weather before your visit. I went when it was rainy, and it turned out pretty muddy—certain trails were a challenge!
The Ballroom Pool and Snooker Lounge

I recommend going during happy hour, which is usually from 5 to 7 PM. The drinks are way cheaper, so you can save a bit and still enjoy yourself.

I think it’s smart to bring cash for tips. The servers are friendly and the service can get a bit slow at times, but a little tip goes a long way!
Basin Reserve
Sweet Axe Throwing Wellington

I think it's worth splurging on a drink package if you're going with friends; it really adds to the whole experience and keeps the vibes friendly and fun

I recommend booking your session online in advance; it can get super busy on weekends, and you don’t want to show up and miss out!

I think it’s worth paying for the extra half hour if you really get into it. The time flies by, and having more practice just makes it more fun!

My advice is to wear closed-toe shoes. Trust me, you don’t want to be the one wearing flip-flops when you're throwing axes! Safety first!
Castlepoint Beach

don’t forget sunscreen and a hat. the sun can be really strong, even if it’s cloudy. i came back a bit too sun-kissed for my liking.

Check the tide schedule before you go. I didn't, and I missed out on some beautiful rock pools when the tide was too high!

Bring your own food and drinks to save some cash! The nearby shops can be pricey, and there's nothing like having a picnic on the beach. I wish I had packed a cooler!
National Rifle Association of NZ

My advice is to visit around 2 PM. You'll avoid the big crowds from the morning rush, plus the staff was super chill and helpful at that time.

Be sure to book your slot in advance, especially on weekends. I didn't and had to wait ages to get in, which was a bummer.
Laserforce Wellington

After the game, check out the arcade area. I didn't realize it was there until after my session, and it looked like a blast. Make sure to save some time for that.
Definitely consider booking a session online ahead of time to score a better deal and avoid disappointment, especially on weekends when it gets super busy!

I recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes, because you'll be running around a lot. Trust me, you don't want to be stuck in tight jeans during a match!
ASB Sports Centre

If you're planning to catch a game, I recommend checking the schedule online first. I missed a match I wanted to see because I didn’t realize it started earlier than I thought. Save yourself the bother and plan ahead.

My advice is to bring your own snacks and drinks. The food at the venue is pricey, and trust me, you don’t wanna be stuck buying a $5 bottle of water! Having your own supplies will keep your costs down
