Wynyard Quarter

This revitalised waterfront precinct is brimming with the energy of locals and visitors of all ages. Some are there to dine at waterfront restaurants or enjoy a few cocktails as the sun sets. Some are taking the kids to play at the funky maritime themed play space. This great inner-city playground even has a cool sand floor, a basketball court and salvaged materials with a modern twist. Take a ride on the historic tram, look out for the public piano, and grab a book at the small library in a colourful shipping container. If you’re on a budget, or you just want a classic Kiwi experience, join the locals at the Auckland Fish Market and choose from a wide range of the freshest seafood straight off the boat. Try the delicious fish and chips for lunch in the open-air courtyard or choose a spot on the water’s edge. In summer, check out Silo Park’s night markets and outdoor cinema every Friday. Browse the stalls for vintage clothing, contemporary art and a delicious array of food before the movie. - Discover Auckland.
