Courtenay Precinct might be well-known as Wellington’s go-to for nightlife, but it’s also packed with plenty of family-friendly fun. With its mix of food, entertainment, and outdoor activities, there’s no shortage of things to do. Here’s how to spend a fun-filled family weekend in and around Wellington’s bustling Courtenay Precinct.
Have a yum cha feast Start your weekend with a leisurely yum cha at one of the many iconic spots nearby. Dragons is always buzzing with families, dishing out shared plates of steaming dim sum and plenty of tea to go around. Or head over to Grand Century, where the Tai family has been serving up Cantonese classics since 2003.
For a more tucked-away experience, Aries Restaurant has an impressively extensive menu full of crowd-pleasers – and, like all good Chinese restaurants, complete with massive fish tanks that’ll keep the little ones entertained. Wherever you go, you’re in for a yum cha feast that’s perfect for a family brunch or lunch..
