Two Auckland based hospitality venues have two very different but equally scary entertainment initiatives to keep children amused during the April school holidays. One, an afternoon tea involving dinosaurs and the other encouraging bad behaviour while dining out!
Cordis Auckland, together with Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment, is bringing back the ROAR of the dinosaurs with a special children’s Jurassic Park High Tea to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the iconic film.
This is going to be an earth shattering event that you won’t want to miss from 2pm to 4pm on Saturday 15 April and Sunday 16 April 2023 in The Great Room.
The BIG gates of Jurassic Park with a T. rex standing guard will set the dinosaur tone and dare kids of all ages to enter into The Great Room which will be brimming with all things dinosaur – including activities, music and the High Tea.
The kids will hopefully love the dinosaur inspired Fossil Pop Cakes, Rexy Cookies and Dinosaur Eggs. The T. rex Food Print of a ham sandwich with blood red (tomato) mayonnaise will be a definite highlight. In addition, each child over 3 years old will also take home a dinosaur plush toy to remember all the fun they had, all for just $85 per adult or child.
So hurry along with your whole family to the Jurassic Park High Tea event in The Great Room happening only on Saturday 15 April and Sunday 16 April 2023.
If you are unable to make this event, kids can still experience the Jurassic Park High Tea in the beautiful Chandelier Lounge from Tuesday 11 April to Sunday 23 April. For just $65 per adult and $55 per child, kids will get the same dinosaur themed tasty treats, while adults can delight in the beautiful High Tea by Cordis with TWG experience, with delicacies such as hot smoked salmon on cauliflower rice salad, cranberry chicken and brie tart with walnut chutney and pea panna cotta with pear compote.
Bookings are essential, so to secure your place in The Great Room on 15 or 16 April or Chandelier Lounge between 11 to 23 April, please call 09 300 2924 or email cdakl.eats@cordishotels.com.
On a totally different level of adventure, recently opened shocking restaurant Karen’s has a different style of equally scary entertainment.
The company’s press announcement states:
“It is no surprise that Karen hates selfish little stink-asses (aka. kids to the more sophisticated) and shudders every time they come through the door, however, Karen is smart and she knows that parents will pay to have the little sh*ts entertained for an hour or two during school holidays.
“Remember though, it’s not like Disneyland at Karen’s Diner! If you think Karen will be nice to them, you’re wrong, and if you don’t think they can handle it, it’s probably better just to leave them at home.. no one likes a moan!
“For just $25 per whinge-bag, parents can get the little snot balls off their back for an hour and a half as Karen takes over! There will be plenty of fun and games as well as a burger and fries included, a Karen’s Diner insult hat and most importantly, they will be taught how to be a real Karen, so really the parents are in for a treat when they get home!”
Bookings are made on the day!
