ZORB™ Rotorua

Rolling downhill inside a giant inflatable ball might sound crazy at first, but it’s pure laughter from start to finish. The warm water sloshing around inside makes it feel more like a fun splash ride than anything scary. Kids absolutely love it….there is constant giggling, sliding, and that “let’s go again” energy as soon as it’s over.nnWhat really stands out is how well everything is managed. The staff are super friendly, give clear instructions, and make sure everyone is secure before each ride. There are different track options too—some straight and gentle, others a bit more twisty—so you can pick what suits your child’s comfort level.nnIt’s well organised, and feels very controlled despite the wild concept. Perfect balance of thrill and safety. A one-of-a-kind experience that delivers big fun in a safe way. If you want something the kids will talk about long after the trip, ZORB is it!

Third time here now over the last 10-15 years…always a fun thrill seekers ride not too crazynSimple set up yet effective. Definitely pays to go during off season or in cooler weather as there are little lines.nOne star deducted as it’s fairly expensive for what it is, there are 4 runs and if you want to do them all you’re over 150$ pp…adds up quickly with multiple children no child pricing. Find a coupon if you can, they’re rare.nThe spa pools at the bottom are great to warm in, there is one at the top for while you wait but it was closed on the cold day we were there for some reason.nOther than your bank account you won’t regret stopping in, pleasant staff all around.

Total spontaneous stop and zero regrets! We were visiting from Australia and our son has been begging to do ZORB Rotorua for months. We just happened to be passing through and thought, why not? Best decision ever.nHe had an absolute blast—and it looked so fun that I couldn’t resist jumping in and doing it with him. Turns out rolling down a hill inside a giant inflatable ball is VERY fun nThere are four different tracks to choose from, so plenty of options, and the setup is spot on. There’s a spa pool waiting for you at the bottom amazing on cold days, and a sauna at the top while you’re waiting for your turn—or at the bottom while you recover and wait to be taken back up the hill.nTop tip: bring your togs! We didn’t, but thank goodness for spare clothes… you will get wet nLoads of changing facilities, super easy and well organised.nSuch a unique experience and so much fun for kids and adults. Highly, highly recommend—do it if you’re even slightly on the fence!

Zorb experience was really great. We had 3 ride pass. The three tracks we participated in were fun. We had either 2 or 3 people in each ball. There was not much wait for the van ride up to the top and to load into the balls to go down the hill. We had a large group ranging from 7 years old - 67 years old participate. Everyone in our group had fun.nnIf bringing a GoPro it is recommended to bring a hand held mount rather than a chest mount.nnThere are open cubby holes at the bottom of the track in which you can put your belongings w hi old you ride.

So much fun! We only had time to do the Mega track but it was a blast. The sidewinder would have been a great track too. Next time for sure.nThe staff is so friendly and helpful. There are saunas and hot tubs to keep you warm. The changing rooms are private and have heaters.nPro tip-bring a waterproof case for your phone to take pictures from the top.
