About My Business

My Wonderland is built on the belief that no child should ever feel left out. We have created a clean, safe, and welcoming space where every child can play, explore, and celebrate, regardless of sensory sensitivities, dietary needs, or other challenges. Located in Albany, Auckland, our five-level indoor playground caters to children aged 0-12, offering a fun and engaging environment where kids can burn off energy while parents relax. Our allergy-friendly café ensures that dietary restrictions never get in the way of enjoying a great meal or snack. We proudly host beautiful, stress-free birthday parties that take the pressure off parents and create unforgettable memories for children. To further our commitment to inclusion, we run low-sensory play sessions designed for kids who thrive in a quieter setting. Beyond play, My Wonderland is deeply rooted in community. We actively support various charities, giving back to causes that align with our mission of ensuring all children can experience joy. We also believe in providing young people with an exceptional first job experience, fostering responsibility, teamwork, and growth within our team. Our space has also become a hub for connection, welcoming mums groups and homeschoolers who seek a supportive, social environment where families can gather, share experiences, and build friendships. At My Wonderland, every detail is designed so that every child can say, "I went to My Wonderland too."

Why We Should Win The Peoples Choice Award

There are businesses that exist to make money, and then there are businesses that exist to make a difference. My Wonderland is proudly the latter. Every day, we strive to bring joy, create connections, and foster a space where families feel welcome, understood, and supported. We are more than just an indoor playground and café. We are a place where parents can take a breath while their children play, where kids who often feel excluded due to allergies, sensory sensitivities, or financial challenges can have the same magical experiences as everyone else. Supporting My Wonderland means supporting a business that gives back, cares deeply about the families who visit, and does everything possible to make sure no child feels left out. At My Wonderland, we believe business success should be measured not just in numbers but in the impact we create for our community. We’ve introduced meaningful initiatives that bring joy and real change to families, including: - Fluffy for a Cause – Every fluffy sold at our café is matched, with all proceeds donated to Acorn Neurodiversity Charity. - Five-dollar for charity entry week – Twice a year, we reduce ticket prices to five dollars, with all sales going directly to charity. - Aroha boxes for parents – Partnering with Care For Families, we gift small care packages and handwritten notes to parents who need an extra reminder that they are seen, loved, and appreciated. - Two-for-one entry for families with multiples – We understand the financial strain of raising twins or triplets, so we ensure families with multiples can enjoy playtime at a lower cost. Beyond these initiatives, My Wonderland has become a hub for connection. Whether it’s mums groups sharing stories over coffee or homeschoolers gathering for a fun day out, we provide a space where families can meet, bond, and create lasting friendships. The past year has been a challenge for many businesses, but despite economic pressures, My Wonderland has continued to grow while expanding our impact. We are proof that businesses with a heart can thrive even in difficult times. By voting for My Wonderland, you’re supporting a business that stands for kindness, inclusivity, and giving back. You’re voting for a place where every child, regardless of their challenges, can say, “I went to My Wonderland too.” So if you believe in businesses that truly care—if you believe in joy, community, and creating meaningful experiences—vote for My Wonderland today.
