Canterbury Planes giant puzzle

Move the puzzle pieces around to make two different images, inspired by our beautiful South Island landscape. Conceptualised and curated by the Oi YOU! team, artwork by Australian artist Emmanuel Moore. If you're up for the challenge, you'll find the giant puzzle on Level One in the Domestic Arrivals waiting area.

Play Me piano

This tuneful beauty, donated by The Vocal Collective, our own world-famous singers, moves around the airport waiting for someone to take up the invitation painted on it – “Play Me”. Conceptualised by the Oi YOU! Team, and created by local artist Paul Walters. Never a day goes by without these ivories being artfully tickled!

Table tennis tables

Our table tennis tables in the plaza are free to use, 24 hours a day. Created collaboratively by local organisations C. Lund & Son, Gap Filler and the Chinese Cultural Association, the table tennis tables help to celebrate Christchurch's diverse migrant communities. First to 11 points wins!
