An exceptional experience to witness a Diwali function , that too away from India. Truly was a mindblowing day to witness the crowd, the colours, laughter and celebrations. One of the happening places in queenstreet. Perfect place for a weekend walk with friends and family

Will be crap until the old, derelict ex-Planet Hollywood complex is either refurbished and tenanted or demolished. It's a disgrace. The square itself is as nice as it can be under the circumstances but foot traffic is low and commercial activity non-existent.

Aotea Square is one of the most iconic and lively public spaces in Auckland! It’s a perfect spot to hang out, relax, and enjoy the atmosphere. Whether you're grabbing a coffee at one of the nearby cafes or catching a performance, there’s always something happening here. The square is well-maintained, with ample seating and open areas. It's a central location that’s easy to access, and it also has a great vibe during events like festivals or outdoor performances. A great place to unwind and people-watch in the heart of the city!

Nice square but not many people around & some business was closed.
