 Cricket heaven |
Kent Terrace Wellington 6001 New Zealand +64 4 384 5227 |
New Zealand's premier cricket ground, the Basin was originally planned as a small boat haven to be linked to the harbour by a canal. An 1855 earthquake raised the surrounding land by one metre and the Basin was laid out as a cricket oval to the delight of a century of cricket lovers from all over the world. Watching cricket "on the bank" on a balmy summers day is a wonderful experience. The National Cricket Museum is also sited at this facility. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 All under one roof |
139 Oriental Parade Oriental Bay Wellington 6001 New Zealand +64 4 801 4530 http://www.wellington.govt.nz/... freyberg.pool@wcc.govt.nz |
This is a unique facility combining a swimming pool, modern health and fitness centre and wonderful harbour views. The complex offers lane swimming, aqua-jogging, aerobics, a simple gym with machines and free weights, spas, sauna and a steam room. There are six lanes, few kids and the pool is 33.3 metres long. The handy location and absence of good childrens facilities make this a favourite of central city office workers morning, noon and night. Have fun! Review © 2007, Wcities |

Wally Hammond is a legend in his own lifetime and his long-established tours have become an institution in the city. The original tour was run in 1969 and the tradition is continued today by Wally, his son Lance and their team of dedicated drivers. The daily city and coastline tour takes in the best of the city's sights and incorporates a scenic drive round some of Wellington's most delightful coastal bays. Tours depart 10a from the Visitor Information Centre. Pick-ups are also available at most inner-city accommodation outlets. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Futuristic laser maze game |

Shoot 'em up and shoot 'em out at this games parlour that offers a great game for kids who like the noise and excitement of the space age. Arm yourself with a laser gun, a suit that lights up when you have been shot, an alien nest to invade, an opposing team to pit your wits against and a maze to fight your way through and all kids, big and small, will have lots of fun here.
