Facts With a population of around 400,000 Christchurch, in Canterbury, is the South Island’s largest city, yet much of it has the feel of a small town. Perhaps that’s why it’s known as the Garden City but with the expansive Hagley Park, Botanic Gardens, Port Hills, River Avon and numerous beaches the city certainly has an open, relaxed feel. Christchurch has hundreds of entertainment and activity ideas to suit the family – the kids can learn to climb, kayak or for a unique feel of Christchurch the family can take a ride by punt or balloon. A perfect base to explore further afield, Christchurch boasts skifields within an hour’s drive, surfing in Sumner, swimming with dolphins in Akaroa or relaxing in hot natural pools in nearby Hanmer Springs. Check out Kidz Go Christchurch for activities, dining, events, skiing with kids and everything else your family will need to holiday in Christchurch.
