Aotea Square is located in the Auckland city centre, a 15-minute walk from Britomart station and the Downtown Ferry Terminal. Kids aged 5-15 years travel free on weekends with a registered HOP card*.
Dreading the walk up Queen Street? Catch a complimentary rickshaw from the Britomart transport hub. Just look for the BNZ Rickshaw pick-up point and hop on for a free ride.
Regular bus services are also available to and from the city from locations across Auckland. Final services are generally between 11pm and 12am (midnight).

We strongly recommend the use of public transport park-and-ride facilities around Auckland for travel to and from the festival.
