Outdoor Activities in Auckland
When the weather holds, Auckland is unusually well set up for getting kids outside — beaches on both coasts, regional parks, farm parks and destination playgrounds, most of them free.
Everything on this page is outdoors, so it is weather-dependent by definition. Bring sun cover; the UV here is severe from October through March even on overcast days.
