Great Accessible Day Out

Win an annual family pass for an attraction of your choice!*

Firstport is on the hunt for reviews of the best accessible day trips and we need your help! Enter our Great Accessible Day Out competition and help share your knowledge of fantastic accessible hot spots in NZ with others.

Venues, attractions, councils and businesses are increasingly improving their physical and sensory accessibility provisions to enable everyone to enjoy what they have to offer. These great places might have accessibility features that help with physical access and inclusion, or perhaps special sensory features. We're looking for reviews of days out to places that are top of the pack when it comes to providing accessibility for all.

Submit your entry and help us build a library of reviews that other family and friend groups can check out next time they're planning a special day out.

Simply tell us details like...

  • what accessible features there were
  • what made your trip so good
  • what you got up to
  • why you’d recommend it
  • your top highlight of the day
