If you wanted to go for a bit of a drive... i meet up with some mums from my mummies group out the hutt (actually im not sure where you are so may not even be a drive but im in the CBD) the short straw cafe in whitemans valley is lovely and very child friendly]]> Sat, 12 May 2012 13:47:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42011&PID=5797293&title=wellington-cafs#5797293 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42011&PID=5797289&title=wellington-cafs#5797289 Author: Jumbo#Hope

The zoo cafe use to be good... but its since changed owners (since we last been) so not too sure what the food is like now but its got a play area and also an are where you can see i think it was the meerkats?!

The southern cross has been mentioned but i think its fantastic there. And they always seem more than happy to let me design my own breakfeast and add things that arent even on the menu =P

UK2NZ Mummy. I'm in the hutt so not too familar with cafes in the big smoke since I stopped working but I have one of the phil & teds portable high chairs (there are tons of different brands) and find that great for when we eat out. We always have a high chair (although granted it doesn't go on all tables) and you also don't have to worry about the cleanliness of the cafe highchair.

Anyway off topic, but hope it helps.]]> Fri, 11 May 2012 21:14:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42011&PID=5797231&title=wellington-cafs#5797231 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42011&PID=5797154&title=wellington-cafs#5797154 Author: PipDais

I've found this really helpful!

We moved to Wellington this year and one weekend ventured out to the CBD - I was disgusted with the number of places we walked in to that didn't have highchairs! In the end we stopped at a French cafe that was lovely - but it was the last one I was going to try so thankfully it had the highchair. We stopped at 6 or 7 before that!

Last week we went to the chocolate fish cafe at Shelley Bay which was lovely - very busy - REALLY child friendly so worth the wait.

Definitely going to give Elements a try now - I'd not heard of it before.

Maranui is lovely but I would avoid on the weekend unless you get there super early - the queue for a table is often down the stairs and out the door!!]]> Wed, 09 May 2012 21:30:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42011&PID=5796916&title=wellington-cafs#5796916 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42011&PID=5796893&title=wellington-cafs#5796893 Author: squoggs

We took our 22mo to Elements in lyall bay, toddler friendly, awesome food & service, changes tables in bathrooms etc, just not a lot for toddlers to do when they aren't eating (well, maybe annoy the people at the next table!) Maranui is good too]]> Wed, 09 May 2012 20:02:48 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42011&PID=5796893&title=wellington-cafs#5796893 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42011&PID=5796859&title=wellington-cafs#5796859 Author: SarMar

Thanks ladies!

The Chocolate Frog in Palmers Gardenworld in Miramar is awesome. They have a cool playground on site with tables and the cafe takes orders from there by text so you don't have to wait at the counter to order with the kids :)]]> Wed, 09 May 2012 14:50:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42011&PID=5796854&title=wellington-cafs#5796854 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42011&PID=5796841&title=wellington-cafs#5796841 Author: Danda08

Southern Cross is great.
Are you only going to be in the CBD?

Mitre 10 Mega in Petone has a nice cafe with a fenced playground alongside.

There is also Benedicts Cafe in Maungaraki (Lower Hutt), has a large kids play area, horse ride, change facilities.

The Funky Monkey in Upper Hutt (indoor and outdoor play areas I believe)

And here is a link to some others

Hi ladies,

going to Wellington for the weekend and looking for recommendations for toddler-friendly cafés. I've heard the Southern Cross is good - anywhere else? Just want a decent play area so we can relax :-)]]> Wed, 09 May 2012 11:58:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42011&PID=5796823&title=wellington-cafs#5796823
