Suitable for all ages.

Published on Oct, 2023

Gondola ride was enjoyable. Nice cafe/view at top. The luge was very well run and designed. Safe and fun. Kids love it. I am in my 50’s tall and built like a lumberjack but the systems worked just as well for me. My wife and I both liked it.

Spectacular

Published on Mar, 2023

So much fun for families with young and old children. Spectacular views to go with your rides along with food and other activities for small children. Price was very reasonable giving us Gondola rides to the top with 5 rides on the Luge.

So much fun!

Published on Feb, 2023

I was really nervous about doing this excursion. I'm so thankful I tried it. I had so much fun I didn't want to stop. It's super easy to control the sleds, no one was being reckless and it moves along, so you are never waiting in line. The gondola and ski lift was super easy to get on and off. I never felt scared or insecure. There were people of all ages having a great time. Please go and enjoy!

Awesome place, will be back

Published on Jan, 2023

Awesome place to go with family or friends! Definitely worth the money and would do it 100 times again, the night luge was awesome and the lights work beautiful. The staff were so helpful and bright and seemed to love their job and it showed. Will definitely be back:)

Great fun for families.

Best activity in Rotorua for family with teenagers. Definitely recommend getting the 5 luge turn ticket. Also the Jelly belly shop is amazing if a little expensive So much fun!
