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 |

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.

Serious gear |

A fantastic range of modern streetwear and footwear is on display. Review © 2007, Wcities |
