1 / 3Chipmunks Playland & Café Manukau
📍 Manukau City Centre, Auckland
Indoor play centre for ages 0–11 in Manukau with dedicated toddler zones, climbing structures and arcade machines. Three birthday party packages with private rooms and Charlie the Chipmunk visits. On-site café with highly rated food.
We came today 25/1/26 for a birthday party (2-4pm) and the staff you had on, especially the young lady in the grey singlet were amazing. So impressed by the customer service provided to us in the party room. Everything was done with a smile which made the party a breeze with such efficient and helpful staff. I hope the bosses see this review and reward the team accordingly. In addition, the food was outstanding, I’m genuinely blown away at the quality provided. Well done Chipmunks Manukau.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
The strongest Chipmunks location in Auckland for families with toddlers — the dedicated under-5 zones are a genuine differentiator and the cleanliness record is consistent across recent reviews. Staff go beyond expectation at birthday parties. The café food is meaningfully better than comparable venues.

“My son loved it here. Everything was really clean including the toilets. He is 2 years old and there were multiple areas for his age group which is a nice change from other places. He was super happy. There were no damages, everything worked and there were a variety of things to keep him occupied. The kids pizza meal was good and the burgers were amazing tbh. The beef burger is highly recommended. Best children's playground by far and we will def return soon. 👍”

“We recently took two kids to Manukau Chipmunks, and they had an amazing time! My baby enjoyed the play area so much, and the place felt safe and welcoming. The food was great too — the chicken burgers, fish, and chips were absolutely delicious! Perfect spot for both fun and yummy treats. Highly recommend for a family day out!”

“I took my grandchildren. They loved it. Clean and tidy. It was warm but they had fans running. The kids didn't stop even for the nuggets and chips. I enjoyed a chicken cheese and avocado sandwich. Delicious. Would definitely go again”
