Want a trip to a fun packed and diverse city? Well then get reading because whether your interests lie in history or playing on a fun filled playground you will always have a great time in Christchurch.Here are my top things to do if you are heading there and if you aren’t I can guarantee you will want to after you have read this.
Transport
London has double decker buses but Christchurch has Trams. Trams are an excellent way to get around the city,with 17 stops around the centre of Christchurch you can get on and off whenever you please. Sick of waiting for your bus to arrive? Christchurch tramways guarantee a maximum of 15 minutes waiting time so you can count on being punctual. Don’t worry about a slow tedious journey because you also get a free commentary of Christchurch City as you get from A to B. All of this comes under a price of $25 for adults and it’s free for kids.
Entertainment
Every city has a museum,but Christchurch’s is second to none. The museum has things to do for all ages. For the younger ones the museum has a discovery centre and with just $2 entree fee you can enjoy lots of interactive activities. Discovery is based on the wonders of our animals and as well as heaps of fun it also poses a learning side. For the older years Christchurch museum has a range of exhibits such as the Paua house and the indoor Christchurch streets. This is where you can walk around the Christchurch streets that they have built in the museum. This gives you a great idea of what Christchurch would have been like. The museum also has lots of special exhibits that come and go. This offers a variety of options to interest all ages.
Kids Entertainment
In my experience with playgrounds Christchurch's Margaret Mahy playground is my NO.1. The playground is a new addition to Christchurch and it definitely has all the mod cons of the playground world! Such as a eight metre long spiraling slide with an awesome spider web climb to the top. Don't forget the three metre wide slide,so you can race all your friends…. and parents forget the long wait for your kids as the play because along the side of the playground there is pop up cafes,smoothie bars and ice cream stands.
Food and Shopping
People use recycled bottles to make boats but Christchurch has taken recycling to another level. The Re:Start city mall is made out of vibrantly coloured shipping containers! The Re:Start mall has a range of shops from wood fired pizzas to designer clothes shopping. The Re:Start city mall has things for all ages and has things for all people's interests. The Re:Start mall is easy walking distance from the tram stop so don't worry about parking.
Now you know all the top spots in Christchurch and there still is plenty more!
Well done Anna, this is very well written. I like the way that you have used rhetorical questions to maintain your audiences engagement. You have obviously learnt a lot from our trip to town as you have included some very interesting information. $100
ReplyDeleteWow Anna! I love reading what you put on your blog. You always think of ways to make your writing different and unique and that's really good! If I am ever stuck on something to write or the layout I always come here to see what people like you have done. You would be a great author in the future, so keep it up. You are very inspiring! :)
ReplyDeleteThoughtful words Haylley. Well summed up.
DeleteFantastic Anna! This is a very professionally written travel itinerary for Christchurch City.
ReplyDeleteAnna I really like your travel blog post I think that you have written and entertaining and informative post - $100
ReplyDeleteFantastic work Anna! I liked the idea of doing separate things for different types of people. Some people might just want to do shopping but instead of going through the whole thing they can just skip to the shopping section. Original idea looks like a professional review brochure.
ReplyDeleteVery specific comment Marcus. I can tell you have put a lot of thought into interpreting Anna's piece of writing.
DeleteWow! That is amazing Anna I love the way you have made it a guide and separated the different categories. It was really fun the town tour. your information that you've put into this piece of writing. well done i really enjoyed reading this informative writing.
ReplyDeleteGood use of personal voice in your comment Phoebe. This is a good piece of writing to use for inspiration another time. You're all capable.
DeleteThis was such a good description even though we have already been to Christchurch I wandon't to go again you made this sound like heaven keep up the great work
ReplyDeleteAnd also this is worth $100 in my eyes to!
I loved this post Anna! It is so descriptive and for anyone coming here on holiday I would definitely recommend them to read this! Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteWow Anna! You are such a good writer. I have just finished reading your other post, they are both so good!
ReplyDeleteYou always come up with different way to display you writing. Anytime i'm stuck I always come and read you blog and it gives me more energy and different ways to look at something and then write about it.
Great job Anna, I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.
Wow Anna that is very good bit of writing. I love reading your post there always give me lots of inspiration to get writing. This post has lots of thing to do in Christchurch. If I was from an other country I would love to go to Christchurch. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteWow Anna very interesting and I like the added detail like the cafe and the slide length and how u get up to the slide. Over all very good job
ReplyDeleteYour Christchurch town tour piece of writing is amazingly wrote with great vocabulary. If I was a tourist I would definitely want to go to Christchurch now reading your writing. Well done I am really impressed by your writing like always.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great piece of writing that got me hooked in from the start. I loved all the comparisons you used, referring to other well known tourist attractions would definitely help out someone who isn't from Christchurch. You were very informative but you never lost your personal voice, a technique that definitely improved your writing. It was also great how you addressed everyone and not just kids, or adults. The combination meant that this would be a great read for anyone. My only fault is a few, very tiny, punctuation errors. Otherwise this is a fantastic read that I hope everyone gets the chance to see.
