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.

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

We met at Aotea Square to do a Clue NZ Challenge that began at the Square. It was clean and tidy and a pleasure to be here. Another occasion was for a Latin Culture Festival which was well planned out and safe for everyone including families. Seating/ bean bags and plenty of food stalls too. A fun and colourful event with music and audience participation- really welcoming and warm vibes. Loved being here! Highly recommend to locals/visitors to events held here!
