Stay Cool This Summer at Discovery Village – The Perfect Indoor Play Option for Young Children

When the summer sun is blazing, keeping little ones cool and comfortable becomes a top priority — especially during a heatwave. At Discovery Village in Christchurch, we offer a calm, air-conditioned indoor play experience that’s the perfect alternative to hot, crowded beaches and outdoor play areas.

While the beach might sound tempting, the reality of managing tired, overheated toddlers in the sun can be stressful. That’s where Discovery Village comes in. Our fully air-conditioned venue keeps the temperature just right, giving families a safe, cool space to relax and play — no sun cream or shade-hopping required!

Escape The Summer Heat

Designed with younger children in mind, Discovery Village is a role play village full of imaginative spaces where children can explore freely, dress up, and engage in gentle storytelling adventures with our live performers. Every session includes songs, movement and guided play, all at a relaxed pace that suits smaller children.

While the kids are busy rescuing the village, delivering post, or cooking up a storm in the italian restaurant play area, grown-ups can unwind at their own reserved table in our woodland-themed café. We serve a refreshing range of iced drinks, fruit smoothies, and milkshakes — perfect for a summer treat — alongside quality lunch and snack options for the whole family.

Avoid the risk of sunburn, heat exhaustion, and overheated tempers. Whether you’re local or visiting Christchurch this summer and looking for something fun to do with young children, Discovery Village is the ideal indoor alternative to the beach or outside play areas.

Stay cool, stay calm, and let your children’s imaginations run wild — all without breaking a sweat.
