KIDS AT SKY CITY

Whether it’s school holiday programmes or daily activities with the kids, the school holidays are devastatingly expensive. Astute caregivers will be on the lookout for deals and discounts and Skycity is a good option. Kids enter free with a paying adult (one child per adult), and there are two-for-one kids’ meals at Orbit 360 and Andy’s Burgers and Bar. Kids also eat free at Gusto at the Grand with a paying adult. The snow globe is back this year, which is absolutely free though you will pay in your time, because that line can get pretty long. Throughout July, 8.30am-late. Sky Tower, Federal St, Auckland. Adults $32, kids 6-14 free with paying adult, additional kids $13.
