With a wide range of nightclubs, restaurants, bars, live music and theatre, our country's nightlife offers something for most age groups (the legal drinking age is 18). Live bands are popular with younger pub-goers and jazz venues attract a more mature audience. Nightclubs vary in music genres, and the diversity of quality live theatre ensures all interests are catered for. If you enjoy a punt or two, then try your luck at a casino, where you'll find a range of gaming tables and machines (20 is the minimum age for entry). If you're a smoker, then please note that there is a smoking ban inside all restaurants, casinos, pubs, bars and nightclubs, although provision is made outside of these establishments for smokers.

Picton: Picton is the perfect place to base a holiday or as a start point for the Queen Charlotte Track. It is also the first port of call for visitors travelling on an interisland ferry from Wellington to the South Island. The area is rich in maritime and Maori history, which can be explored at Picton's museum with its many historical artefacts. Picton has a fine selection of arts and crafts outlets and many cafes where you can sit outdoors and enjoy the sunny atmosphere. On the foreshore you will find the scenic cruise boats, a sea kayaking company, small boat and bike hire, the mini-golf course, the aquarium ('hands-in' for the brave!), and the community museum. At the Edwin Fox museum is the hull of this India-built teak ship constructed in 1853. Its 47 years of maritime service ended in Picton in 1900. The ship is in a purpose-built museum at Dunbar Wharf.
