Apart from the snow, which is great, the best part is the restaurant, which is not your average 'fast food' type of place so commonly associated with significant tourist attractions, but has a great variety of freshly cooked plates, all at very reasonable prices. A great mid or post ski option.

For our department's team day we spent two hours at Snowplanet for their Snow Games package. Given that we are a team of 12 people, it is not easy to please everyone but we all had an absolute blast. The staff were really helpful and made our experience memorable. Thank you!

For those looking for a jib, imagine Hyland Hills with less features, that are smaller, and are built with dehydrated snow that makes them all fall just shy of being setup properly.
Worth the cheaper weekend nights but don't come expecting anything more than that.

Thanks for all your efforts in putting this up together.

We had lots of fun, however it is really pricey to hire all the gear, even with a 2 for 1 voucher. There was a race on, which we were not aware of, and didn't see anything on the website. The staff member at the front did not give us details. They ended up closing off half the slope and the restaurant was packed.

This place is great. I was a spectator this visit and the viewing lounge is perfect for this. Warm by the fire and a nice place to drink coffee and watch. The parking is adequate and entrance is spacious and easy to navigate. I went during the school holiday time and was not intimidated by the volume of people there. The ski area accommodated the volume of people too. I enjoyed the night and will return......maybe to try the snow too.

We took three groups of Year 6 (11 year old) learners tubing at SnowPlanet. The staff were brilliant, really flexible (as we had booked 2 hours but some had had enough after one), the restaurant staff were wonderful - bringing plastic cups and water without being asked. The kids had a blast and I cannot fault the team there - thank you for making our school outing so enjoyable! It was the highlight of the year for our kids.

I can understand that working on Saturday night is not really something that someone looks forward to, but staff working on the lifts were not friendly at all and kindda make you feel uncomfortable. Plus wash rooms were smelly and dirty.

Great place. If you are learning to ski or snowboard, start here first. Cheaper than going to the slopes and closer if you live in Auckland. Being indoors means you don't have to worry about weather, and if you get cold just pop out of the slopes to warm up.

Love this place. Good food and really friendly staff. Only problem I have is trying to explain what table I am sat in. Why not number them or give out order numbers to save me having to explain.

We took our South Auckland Holiday Programme to Snowplanet to experience Snow Tubing and all the children had a great time. Staff very helpful and they gave the children gloves to borrow and were very welcoming. Highly recommend Snowplanet!

Great value and super easy to organise a small team building event. We all had a blast. Thanks to Debbie for co-ordinating and John and Brad for the lesson. Couldn't have asked for any more.

Nice place to enjoy the snow. Just disappointed when we bought a santa photoshoot. Cost $12 per person which include 1 printed photo with santa and 1 snow tubing run. We bought 3 tickets for 3 of us ($36), but when we were about to get the photo, we were told we could only get one despite buying 3 tickets because we were a family. Ticket inclusions says 1 printed photo for $12 pp. Good on them for taking photo for 3 people at once, but giving ony 1 printed photo for the price of 3 individual tickets. We ended up buying their offer of $15 for usb to have the soft copy. Added/response: i think you mean by 1 pic per family as advertised is if we bought the combo ticket, but we bought the INDIVIDUAL/per person ticket $12 as I already stated.

Awesome place. Sometimes not enough staff to operate both lifts makes the place over crowded and long lines at the lift. Nice food and bar.
The pizza and curly fries are amazing. School holiday program is very good.

Our Sports Academy class did the one hour lesson at Snowplanet. The instructors were all really helpful with organising the gear and catered to all students ability levels out on the snow. The students had an awesome time!

Great day at Snow Planet with very friendly and extremely helpful instructors. Coaching them, monitoring their progress and skill on the snow and also by not handing out chair lift passes unless you were happy with their progress, you kept all our kids safe. Thanks for this. See you again in 2019. It was awesome.

Had a first timer lesson package. My instructor "Minni" was really great giving clear instructions, giving good feedback and checking my confidence before we progressed with the training. I had a really great hour on the slope after and the coffee and Brownie were good too, and not as pricey as I would have expected. I will definitely be back.

Awesome day out with the family. Too much fun to be had, especially around Christmas time! It's often pretty busy though and it can take a while to get out on the slope but once there, the frustrations are forgotten.

Had a great experience. Didnt do the skiing cos we couldnt get lesson (majority of our group have never skied before). We did the Tubes and we had fun. A bit pricey but the experience was awesome.

We took 50 year 9 students to Snow Planet and had so much fun. Staff and instructors friendly, welcoming and accommodating of the many demands a big group poses. Thank you for looking after us all, we had a fun time

Our company came over to have a gathering for our home based service families, the party room was enough to fit 10 groups of families and the snow field had a winter wonderland theme which allow the families to meet Santa(booking). Lovely Christmas displays and wasn t busy during the weekdays. One cons, there is no sink area to wash fruits and things, so I went to the kitchen for help. Would be good if party room have a sink.

We had our Team Building Day here and it was fabulous. The whole day from start to finish was well organised, everything we needed was supplied onsite and the team really enjoyed themselves. Many thanks!

Great place to practice before you go on a proper ski slope! It is a rather short run but what do you expect when it s indoors. There are jumps there and the seasoned experts are very patient with people giving the jumps a go. Go for it! It s only snow, if you fall over it doesn t hurt... it s just cold! Don t forget to take your warm weather gear!!
