1 / 2Chipmunks Playland and Café Lyall Bay
📍 Lyall Bay, Wellington
Chipmunks Playland Lyall Bay is an indoor playground for ages 0–11 with climbing frames, slides, ball pits, a kids rollercoaster, interactive screens, and dedicated toddler zones. On-site café and birthday party packages available.
Chipmunks Playland and Cafe in Lyall Bay is one of the few kids' play areas, which is open past 4 in a weekend. This is a huge bonus for us as our little man has a longer nap during the day in the weekend, so it is often up until 7pm or even 8pm dependant on previous days' activities. The play area itself is great for little ones who like to explore from slides of all sizes, interactive screens, ball pits, kids Rollercoaster, and more. There is enough to keep the kids entertained for hours. Chipmunks also offers an array of food to cater to all needs, including the stock standard chicken nuggets and chips but also pizzas, burgers, sandwiches, and more. I would highly recommend bringing your little or not so little ones down to Chipmunks in Lyall Bay.

“We come here a lot to play but my daughters birthday party was at Chipmunks Lyall Bay today. It was AMAZING! The recent upgrades have made the venue so awesome all the kids loved it. The food was great, the party house was great, but the best part was how friendly the staff were- it was so busy and they were still able to make sure we had everything we needed and more! They were so caring and made it such a special and easy day for us. Highly recommend Chipmunks Lyall Bay, thank you guys I am so grateful for help in making my girls day so special!”

“A very clean tidy and fun place to take the kids. Lots of different spaces for the kids to play in from the jumpy slide to the large climbing frames. There were only a dozen or so kids here when we went (after a visit to the outlet village) but it was plenty of fun for a couple of hours.”
