10 Best Rainy Day Activities in Wellington for Kids

Wellington weather can turn in minutes, but that does not mean your family day has to be ruined. Here are ten of our favourite indoor spots for keeping kids entertained, rain or shine.

1. Te Papa Museum

Free entry, interactive exhibits, and a dedicated kids' discovery centre make this the go-to rainy day pick for Wellington families.

2. Capital E National Theatre for Children

Puppet shows, workshops, and a play space designed specifically for young children.

3. Wellington Museum

Compact, free, and packed with maritime history that surprisingly captivates even the youngest visitors.

4. Zealandia Indoor Exhibits

While the trails are outdoors, the visitor centre has excellent indoor displays on native wildlife.

5. Indoor Trampoline Parks

Burn off energy at one of the city's indoor trampoline and play centres.

Whatever the forecast, Wellington has plenty of options to keep the whole family happy indoors.
