Paradice Entertainment Botany
Paradice Entertainment in Botany is one of the very few places in all of Auckland where you can lace up ice skates, and it packs laser tag, mini golf, and a full entertainment centre around the rink for good measure. Whether you are seven or seventy, an hour on the ice here is pure, uncomplicated fun.
On the Ice
The ice rink is the centrepiece — a proper, full-size sheet that hosts public skating sessions throughout the week as well as figure skating, ice hockey, and learn-to-skate programmes for all ages and abilities.
Skate hire is available at the rink, so there is no need to bring your own; staff are on hand to help first-timers find their feet (and keep them there), making this a genuinely accessible experience even for complete beginners.
The cold air inside is a welcome relief on a hot Auckland summer day — Paradice is the kind of place you plan to spend an hour and end up staying three.
Beyond the Rink
Putters Paradice is the centre's 13-hole mini golf course, a creative, well-themed layout that works brilliantly as a warm-up or wind-down activity around a skating session.
Laser tag adds another layer of high-energy fun for groups and families, and the combination of rink, mini golf, and laser tag makes Paradice the most versatile entertainment venue in East Auckland by some distance.
The centre sits within Botany Town Centre, so a full day itinerary practically writes itself: skate in the morning, lunch at Botany Commons, browse the shops, and catch a film at Hoyts in the evening.
