When you’re planning a holiday, sometimes you find that your budget doesn’t enable you to enjoy some of the things you were hoping to do. This isn’t something to be too concerned about however, because with fantastic cities such as Christchurch to visit, there are plenty of fun things to do that don’t weigh heavily on your pocket. One other major obstacle for families wanting to holiday, is the problem of how to make your way around the city once you’re there. Transportation is an important consideration when holidaying and fortunately for you, it is easily taken care of. Christchurch has many affordable car rentals available at the Airport that are economical and that provide the needed convenience to help you to enjoy a nice, relaxing and affordable holiday.

Here are our five top completely free activities for your family to consider when visiting Christchurch:

1. Hagley Park
A favourite among the locals, this stunning park includes old English trees, a colorful Botanic Garden, and the majestic Avon River. The Avon River is well-known as being a fantastic spot for having a romantic time while punting leisurely along the winding river. Driving your rental car from Christchurch Airport is relatively easy as you follow the one road almost all of the way. This trip will take you about quarter of an hour.

2. Banks Peninsula
This trip will take you around an hour and twenty minutes to drive your rental car from Christchurch Airport, but is a wonderful experience for the whole family, this striking area full of bays and peninsulas provides you with some amazing views, and allows you to stroll along the coastal walking tracks and to get up close with the diverse marine life. Seals, penguins, and hector dolphins are the main attractions to look out for.

3. Canterbury Museum
What better place to learn all about Christchurch’s heritage and history than the Canterbury Museum? You can gain knowledge about native bird life, Maori history, and learn all about Antarctic exploration with their new exhibits. Again this is a relatively easy 20 minute or so drive in your rental car, from Christchurch Airport and you will drive around part of Hagley Park to get to the Museum.

4. Tramping
Take a walk through Akaroa and Banks Peninsula’s many glorious mountains and tracks. Enjoy the extensive native bird life and witness the stunning views atop high and magnificent mountain slopes. Christchurch has many tramping tracks to experience; just go prepared with good, comfortable shoes!
