Rainbow's End Review

awesome rides, friendly staff. quite to purchase food and drinks though

Really enjoyed my experience here. Felt a bit snobbed by some staff but still had a great time. Thanks

Great for families with younger kids. Not as exciting for the thrill seeker, but as far as theme parks go in Aotearoa... It really is the premiere destination, and really not all that shabby either.

Getting back to it's former glory, after being let go for a while. Unfortunately the log flume was closed when I was there :(

A wonderful experience for kids and everyone young at heart. Come in early to escape long queues.

Went as part of an end of year Christmas work function, so had the whole park to ourselves with about a few hundred others and just stuck to Fearfall and The Stratosphere for pretty much the whole time. Was great to be there.

Awesome selection of rides for all ages. Great food options.

Went on a friday Motion master closed Log fume closed fair fall closed Other rides closed off and on during the day due to limited staff Not worth going during the week Very expensive
Most of the staff seemed unhappy Not friendly

Great food choices, great and fun rides would definitely recommend the roller coaster.

Fun filled place. Just wished it was more maintained

Corkscrew closed, motion master closed, fearfall closed, big ques in others. Waste of time - forget it.

There isn't enough variety of food. Very fun experience for kids with great rides

Way 2 over priced for what it is, its basic and small nothing like GC theme parks

The girls had an awesome time! Rides, laughter, fine evening and live music...what else do you need for a good night

We had a birthday party at rainbows end on a Saturday it was really busy but everything was done on time from food to photos and cake, I cannot believe that they pulled off such an awesome party on time you guys are amazing thank you, these kids will never forget this party.

Were lucky enough to get vouchers for the family as a Christmas present. Went along with 2 adults and kids 8 and 5. Get there early so you can get on the bigger rides with little or no queues as it can get busy. There is something for everyone and a dedicated area for the little ones. A great day was had by everyone

A fun day out nice to see regular upgrades happening Nd new rides every few years!

So many rides were closed. But they still charged full entry ($60!) That hurt. But it had some good fun classic rides. My friend who was with me summed it up well - "If someone else had paid for my ticket this would be great".

Great fun for my 3yr old granddaughter however the games were expensive and should be revised.

Had a great time but 2 goes on the stratosphere and I feel like I wanna puke up my vital organs.

Went there on a drizzling Sunday before school and there was hardly any people which meant no waiting in line so that was awesome coz we tried every ride in 4hrs. Got a hotdog and chips for $12 and it was so huge that 2 people could share so was worth it. Well worth the money overall as everyone in our group had a memorable day!

Just came there. Jeez I wasn't disappointed even tho I've already been to Six Flags in the US. The stratosfear was the real bomb!

Great fun the first and second time but the only true appeal is that there is no alternative in the country.

My kids loved it! Been a while since I was last here. Its grown alot over the years. They have some pretty decent performances on the stage now. Great entertainment for all to enjoy.
Bumper boats are in need of an upgrade BIG TIME!

Was such a great time!!!! If only we went for night rides as well. and wish the pirate ship would stay.

Loved the stratosphere ride. Gonna miss the pirate ship one.

Had a great day 258 entry for the five of us did most rides couple times fear fall lives up to the name bit of a rush

The main attraction the roller coaster was not available because it needed maintenace - 3 - 2 half hrs before closing time - we had full passes.

What a nice place to refreshing and try your adrenaline with your friends or family. We bought $48 ticket include meals, it's worth the penny. I don't know in the future they might be change the price. Easy access with train just 40 minutes from Britomart and 7 minutes by walk.

Scale is just another ..... Just a race world and this world ...?

Great full night out. It was hard to do everything.

Jam packed & full of fun for the kids & bigger babies also, worth the prices on passes & large secluded, covered area available to hire for functions eg: birthdays, great idea for kids party or a family event, they all so enjoyed it. Hip hip hurray!

My little one just touched 120 cm....he enjoyed lots more rides, he love free fall and wanted to go again..

We paid to play the "Sword Fighting" game in the Rainbow Playlab. Two of our team have glasses and were asked to wear chunky safety goggles over the top. For the first round, they complied and wore them and they fogged up completely.

In the second round, we asked if they could just wear their own glasses and accept liability if something happened. But they said that wasnt what the policy was.

So their choices were either to stop in the middle of a competitive time limited game to wipe their wet safety goggles, or to be fighting completely blind which is incredibly unsafe.

After a while, the game operator said that he understood and would let them play. But one of the other operators had scuttled off to get a manager who interrupted them in the middle of the combat to demand they wear goggles. Again, have enough spine to say "No, I'm sorry you cannot do that" rather than smiling in peoples faces and then being sly.

So we ended up paying for a game that we couldn't even use.

All four of us do combat training and are actively part of sword fighting clubs and organizations, we know what safety precautions for this kind of activity should look like, and this was absolutely not it.

And after spending almost $300 on entry to Rainbows End alone, youd think theyd treat their customers better. Completely disappointing.

Good place to take children for fun activities. Even for adults.

Rainbows end is fantastic! There's a wee bit of waiting in lines but definitely worth the money in the end. Best day ever

A nice amusement park to spend a few hours doing something different in Auckland.

What i nice place to go for holiday or weekend NZ

Kids were excited until we were told we couldnt go in as they had meet capacity so couldnt go in. It pays to check if you have travelled 4hours

Great rides . Best in Nz but not the world so keep that in mind .

They now operate with timetable on weekdays(?) so you'll be experiencing a lot of people rushing towards whichever rides are open at that time so you'd expect to constantly be in a short line which isn't too bad. They also got rid of the pirate ship feelsbadman

Quite pricey compared to other theme parks. And rides are really short.

Good place for relaxing and having a good time with friends and family.

Auckland's only theme park, good for kids.
Reasonable price for whole day.

Good place for older Kids, Kid kingdom is so small and not much to play for small kids.

Very expensive and sometimes with the queues you only get to go on each ride once

Fun for first time, but it gets boring if you've been there couple of times.

Best time to go here is during a weekday for sure. The rides are open by times and you basically have a zero wait time as its not busy at all.

Dont go weekends and dont do the night rides as wait times were 20 to 40min..... obviously this is to be expected...Do whatever is best for you.

It had been years since i last visited and they added a few more rides and done up the entrance.

My suggestion is to work your way up when it comes to rides. We start with

1. Gold rush
2. Log flume
3.roller coaster
4. Stratosfear
5. Fearfall

Then do the Go Karts (NUMBER 2 SEEMS THE FASTEST) and Dodgems to calm you down.....THEN REPEAT after a snack and little rest.... But do what you want.

A Good tip would be to bring your own food as the food they serve isn't very healthy and not exactly cheap.

There is a dedicated smokers corner near the Gold rush for those that smoke.

If you go during the weekdays be nice to the workers as they run a skelaton crew and have 5min to run between attractions. Poor guy operated bumper boats then had to run all the way to the roller coaster lol Handled it with humour and great customer service.

Couple of things though:

Upgrade to log flume is needed or at least a reskin.

Expansion of Go karts

Maybe a New roller coaster

Upgrade to scenery needed in middle of park. The center covered stage makes it look a bit too cluttered and theming needs a refresh.

Other then that it was a great time! Will vist here again next time im in NZ

A place full of fun for the kids and the whole family. Worth every moment in here!

Love this place. Always clean and well maintained. Such a fun place to be with water fountains. Staff were super helpful when school hats were lost on the rides. Appreciated the patience of the staff in kids kingdom.

Great place to have fun. Rides are ideal for a good time. Kids Kingdom is an amazing place for the younger ones

Its Rainbows End. Great additions with AA driving area.

Best theme park in NZ..... It's good from a kiwi perspective.

A great venue in Auckland to take your kids for a birthday. They have a special childrens birthday party package. iIt's a reasonable price and is definitely a memorable birthday experience for younger kids. Recommend to all looking for a good kids birthday venue.

It's is a wonderful place. If you're rich. The entrance fee is expensive for my tastes. But then again I am an 18 year old living with his parents.

Took my young Nephews and Niece here for the night rides. UNBELIEVABLE service from security. We had a car in the parking lot with a window left down and a security guard stood outside the car from when we got there from 7:30pm until midnight making sure our car was safe! OMG thank you to the Rainbows Security for the outstanding service. You certainly went above and beyond. I'll never forget it.

I had so much fun at rainbows end! They have lots to do, so if you're scared of heights or just don't like the extreme rides, you still have options. They also provide lockers you can rent out for $10/day.

Was here as a guest for a birthday in kidz kingdom. They staff were very accommodating as i had two children to just me. They allowed me to ride with both of them all at the same time so no one missed out

Lots of fun. Plenty of rides. Not enough bumper boats. Great specials online occasionally.

Although there are many people, they will continue to go. It is very popular. Many children choose their birthday here.

amazing family fun...on an overcast day in school holiday's no cues.....perfect

It was awesome. My kids absolutely love this place.

I had an awful experience in kidz kingdom. No interaction with kids taking rides. I took my niece and daughter. My niece was giving them smiles (ride operators). Nothing in return it seems like they were not happy at all in working there. My daughter was sliding down in one of the rides, i told him and he hardly cared about that. Not even listening to me properly.. ( GUYS IF YOU DONT LIKE WORKING IN THEIR JUST LEAVE, WORK WHERE YOU WANT TO) atleast be nice with little human beings they were so happy and smiling and when they got nothing in return they went sad and sacred.. its not a complain its a request for management team to look after this thing. You need people who are happy around kids. I am never going back there and i dont recommend anyone either.
