Family-Friendly Winter Activities in Wellington

Winter in Wellington does not mean staying indoors all season. With the right gear and a bit of planning, there is plenty to enjoy as a family.

Rug Up for the Waterfront

A brisk walk along the waterfront on a clear winter morning is one of the best free activities in the city.

Indoor Pools

Wellington City Council's indoor pools run family sessions throughout winter, a great way to warm up and burn energy.

Matariki Events

Winter brings Matariki celebrations across the city with lantern walks and community events perfect for families.

Layer up, plan around the weather, and Wellington winters can be just as fun as summer.
