Christchurch
The view of Christchurch on a winter morning while punting on the banks of the Avon river can be equally soothing, especially when your boat crosses the natural landscapes laden with beautiful daffodils in the Christchurch Botanic Garden and snow, with a strong history and native wildlife that further makes this place even more touristy.
You can also gear up your kid for a little horse trekking at the Marahau beach or at the Waimakariri River at Christchurch with a splendid view of the Canterbury plains alongside mountains. The younger kids are treated and trained for a paddock ride with knowledgeable guides while the ones above the age of 12 get to know about the sand and the horse riding from well-trained riders.
