Play

Play with purpose

Our free indoor play space is designed for tamariki aged 0-5 and their caregivers to enjoy together.

Our space encourages creativity, participation, community, accessibility, inclusivity and sustainability. Activities are designed to be play-based and child-led.

"The areas for very young children are few and far between. For parents on parental leave with ages 6m-12m there are limited spaces to go to, so Capital E has been a lifesaver, thank you."

"It was such a great interactive space for little ones to enjoy. such a great set up without it being overcrowded with items. 100% will be recommending to friends with young children."

"Amazing welcoming and kind staff. Beautiful space for young tamariki to explore."

"Great for my two kids (9 mo and 3 y), fun well-considered concepts and toys we couldn't do at home, awesome books, welcoming atmosphere, lovely staff. All good! Wonderful that it's free!"

"I'm so glad I discovered Nōku te Ao Capital E. A brilliant space for young ones to stretch their legs safely and have some fun in what can be a busy day in town"

"As an ECE Teacher I loved that there was purpose to everything that was set out. I loved that it involved using all of my daughters senses. I loved that I could see the inclusivity. I loved that it was clean and tidy and well kept."

"It's such an amazing space with so many different opportunities. That kids can just go with whatever they feel like, playing in the main part or reading a book or drawing is just amazing."

"I’m a parent and an ECE teacher and organised a trip here - it was such a good trip, the kids loved it and such a safe, easy space for parents to be in with more than one child."

"Everything is just there and available and it's so easy. Best part: the door is closed, so supervision is easy, too"
