This area is very natural. Enjoyed wandering through the bush and around the large thermal pools. More

This is the second time we have visited this park. The first time was over 10 years ago and we were concerned as to whether we would be as amazed second time round. But we needn't have worried. It was just as good, although more expensive, this time. Now we have kids and they were fascinated by all the different... More

We had a wonderful time here. We bought tickets then drove to the Lady Knox Geyser to watch it be artificially erupted. It was amazing. The thermal park was fasinating. There was so much to see. The clours of the pools is amazing. It was not over comercialised. The cafe had great food and lovely staff. The souvenir shop and... More

A bit pricey at $30 but something we did not want to miss. You're given a map of the park with descriptions of all the points of interest.

The springs are beautiful, and the geyser is worth seeing. However we went an hour before closing, and we got a bit lost trying to find our way back out! More

Thermal wonderland to be explored with explanatory grounds map in hand on comfortable pathways and boardwalks. Hissing, steaming and bubbling smelly vents to the earths core await at every turn. Bacteria in warm and hot pools make an artist's palette to marvel over. A highlight is the daily erupting geyser, be sure to be there early to get to the... More

As a New Zealander I am appalled at the admission price of around $30 per person. I feel this is double that of a fair price. Yes it is pretty, and you will discover lakes/pools with bright colours - separating it from similar parks in Rotorua. For a naturally occurring geological feature, I am let down by the price for...

We recently visited three thermal park/ground attractions in North Island and Wai-O-Tapu, while easily the most expensive (NZ$32.50 per adult, NZ$11 per child, NZ$80 per family), this was easily our favorite of the three as well. We choose to visit Wai-O-Tapu, due to the larger park grounds, higher number of thermal attractions within the park to see as well as... More
