Fantastic Stress Reliever and Affordable Fun! I can't say enough about how much I love Rainbows End! As someone living in Auckland, this theme park has become my ultimate go-to place for stress relief and pure, unadulterated fun. Affordability of Rainbows End is a major plus. Fantastic value for the sheer amount of joy and excitement you'll experience. The variety of options within the park is impressive. Rainbows End has something for everyone. The diversity of rides and attractions caters to all ages, making it a perfect destination for families, friends, or even a solo adventure. Safety is a top priority at Rainbows End. I've visited twice, and on both occasions, I felt completely at ease. The staff is attentive, and the rides are well-maintained, ensuring a secure and enjoyable experience for all visitors. Each visit has been nothing short of fantastic. The rides are exhilarating, the atmosphere is lively, and the overall energy is infectious. It's the kind of place where you can let go of stress and just have a great time. If you're looking for a stress-relieving, reasonably priced, and all-around amazing theme park experience in Auckland, Rainbows End is the place to be. I highly recommend it and can't wait for my next visit!

Kids Kingdom which for 2 kids 2 adults (spectators price)together an expensive $125.00. I took x2 five year olds one measuring 1m and that other 1.2m however one was either to short to ride alone and other was 2 tall to ride being the taller one having a chunky sole on his shoes he was unable to ride on planes because it meant his head was rubbing on 1.2m height stick yet clearly states ages 8 and under only yet no taller than 1.2m. Most timezone games were out of order on bigger kids side or the kids Kingdom games you'd pay and the game was not working but they failed to display out of order note on machine. Which meant alot of funds were wasted. Very unenjoyable when every ride your smaller child wants to ride on is to small to ride alone. However would have had no problems sitting on a horse while on the courasel. Seems a bit ridiculous having to stand beside them. I'd say there is no specific age this place caters to as your 2 short to ride alone at 1m but to tall at 1.2m so what actually height do you need to be to ride all rides there with out your adult having to ride with you. Rainbows end I'd say is best suited for teens and up to get the most fun with the cost.

Rainbow's End 🌈 Best to go on a nice day so all the rides are open. Good to go early to get a parking spot. Family friendly. Have to be at least 120cm to go on most rides. Otherwise, Kidz Kingdom is suitable for kids 8 and under - Babies have to be 80cm or over (most rides they can be accompanied by an adult). Entry fees are pricey, but paying online for 4+ adults and children gets you a $5 discount per ticket (has to be a mix of adults and children). Children under 2 are Free with a Paying Adult. I'd suggest checking the weather forecast in advance to make sure you get your money's worth and to ensure you'll have a good time :) It's a big theme park, so it's easy to get lost, but maps are provided if needed, and there are maps situated on the grounds. I recommend using the stage centred in the middle of the theme park as a meeting spot should your child/ren go missing/get lost. Several toilets around and food places. Staff are friendly and happy to assist with any queries you may have. Lastly, have fun 😊 #rainbowsend #rainbowmagic #greatfun

My family had an awesome and just loved it. However my daughter was a little disappointed because she was a little short haha bloody height restrictions lol. When I was younger many many yrs ago I always thought rainbows end was soo big and awesome, like a fairy tale and now that I'm older I'm thinking what was I on hahaha. The park does look a little run down and I think needs a bit of a clean up and some things replaced but overall it was a good and fun experience with my family. The major issue I had would be the number of people pushing in lines and the staff members just watching them, it's really annoying because sometime you could be waiting in line for ages and I think it's really rude when 1 person will be in line and the other members of their party would go buy something to eat and thn walk and jump in line which by thn is close to the start. There were signs posted up stating not to push in line but staff did nothing when people didn't listen

Awesome place! Rides are well maintained and staff are well trained and safety cautious regarding height etc. Park is spaced out well and has loads of areas to lunch and rest in. Food and drink is SUPER expensive though ($5.75 for a pump bottle) and you can’t bring in your own food but you are able to leave the park and go over to the mall and get a feed. As long as your wrist band isn’t taken off you’ll be able to get back in the park once you’ve had something to eat. Gift shop on site with alot of rainbows end things like magnets, key rings plussies etc and also loads over stuff you could get cheaper at the warehouse. We didn’t have much waiting time and even when in line it moved really quickly. Book online through rainbows end website to get group discount which I think it’s like $5 a ticket off. Gate sales aren’t guaranteed so definitely book ahead. If it’s bad weather aime if the rides close.

Always fun. Just be careful if you hate wet socks and butt if you go on the bumper boats. Worth it though. If only you could bring your own food and drink in, the wait for food is crazy! I love the wheel for when you can't decide what to do first. The updates to the log flume were quite good. It's also really handy that the ride controllers offer hair ties to those who need one. If you have stud earrings, you may need to take them out before going on the roller coaster, as your ears will be smacked against the harness and your earrings will hurt you. This place works really well if you're in a group of four or two. There's plenty of toilets around and places to take a seat. There are some things you will need to pay for like the mini games, so bring extra money if you're wanting to do those. And one last thing- be a tidy kiwi and use the bins ☺️
