  • Waterworks was one of my favorite places in New Zealand!

    You can lose yourself for hours getting your friends wet and marveling at the ingenuity. The staff is super friendly, especially Petunia the giant pig (unless you rub her ears.) I love Coromandel!

  • Life at waterworks is so great, everything is a new invention.

    Every attraction is for all people between 3 and 100 yrs. You can even bring your own food for picnic and use the barbeque in the garden, or you can buy it in the Café. They got the best Coffie ever made. GO TRY IT AND HAVE FUN

  • Had a wonderful visit with a big group ranging in age from 7 months to 60+.

    Everyone had a ball. Congratulations on the improvements since we last visited a couple of years ago. The gardens, paths, and new signage really give the place a well cared for look. Verdict from the kids "much better than Disneyland" and there are no queues and you get wet!

  • The waterworks is a fantastic place to spend the day!

    Built by engineering genius's, it's full of mind blowing attractions that are both interesting and interactive for people of all ages. It's set in beautiful native bush with a swimming hole and nice walking paths, and provides a place both for relaxation and excitement. There is also a cafe with delicious food and drinks, as well as a lovely covered patio. I highly reccomend visiting!

  • wow - not a theme park, but a time warp.

    you think you can pop in for an hour or so and 3 hours later you finally escape. many of the displays are in need of maintenance - but this does not detract from the experience

  • Heaps of fun with interactive things to play with.

    Unfortunately some were out of order :(

    Would be a great place to take kids.

    Adult flying fox is a bit dangerous as I rope burnt my leg on the way down and it immediately came up as a huge bruise on inner thigh *ouch* but other than that its a great place to explore and play.

  • I certainly wouldnt have rated this the best theme park in NZ for 2010 or 2011, in fact I wouldnt even say it was a theme park, its a water feature park!

    The toilets were horrible, in fact we walked in them and straight out again, holding our mouths and noses! It was very expensive for what it was. Paying to swim in a public river, this should never be the case!!!!! Credit to the person who designed the brochure - well done in over selling the park.

  • A fantastic day out for all ages (we were from ages 1 to 77!).

    We have been a few times now and this time was no exception. The kids loved getting the adults wet. The kids loved getting wet. The non-water items were fascinating and were a great opportunity to dry off before the next water attack. Highly recommended for something completely different.
