The Aotea Centre, in the heart of central Auckland, is an impeccable cultural space — bright and full of life. The story of its design and how it has changed over time is very interesting. It has a beautiful and impressive main auditorium with space for more than 2,000 people. The giant screens showing Māori art are amazing, and the building’s art collection is also great — with sculptures, paintings, and a large tapestry.nnIt is inclusive and accessible, with signs in both English and te reo Māori, and also braille.nThere are many clean bathrooms on all levels. They are always tidy and in perfect condition.nnThe centre hosts many kinds of events — from opera and rock concerts to conferences and comedy shows, and also family or corporate events in its different rooms.nIt has wide, bright halls and several bars.nnA special mention for the Terrace Café, a lovely place to enjoy a drink before a show. I believe it should also be open on non-show days, as it's a unique and beautiful spot right in front of the square.nThere are also smaller and flexible rooms, perfect for meetings or conventions.nnYou can also find special design elements all over the building. The lamps are design pieces, and the lobby carpet is a special creation with references to New Zealand’s nature.nnAnd finally, all the staff working in the building are truly excellent people. Friendly, kind, and professional.
Nice and beautiful theatre.nWe went to the Tofiga comedy show—it was really funny and entertaining. Drinks were a bit pricey, though. We enjoyed the show overall. The only downside was parking it was really hard to find a spot as everywhere nearby was full.
Great centre with beautiful theaters & very roomy plus modern with stairs & lifts.nPlus bars & snack foods etcn& a huge parking building.
The staff here were very accommodating after I had mistakenly booked wheelchair tickets for the Commodores concert as someone who's not physically disabled. They switched up our seats with some empty seats and allowed me and my partner to still sit together. The centre is very nice and comfortable, and there is free water from the fountain.
