Paradise Valley Springs

Such a fun day out with the family. It was a long wait to pat the cubs (an hour) which was super hard for my 19 month old but he enjoyed it so that's what matters (we were in with the cubs maybe 3 minutes). Next time I'd plan to go for longer and take a picnic and buy a coffee there.

Great place to visit, my family all had a great time. Paths and animal areas all well maintained and clean. We were able to pat the lion cubs which was super special. Loved feeding the farm animals, they were all super friendly. Cafe was the only downside, very small selection. Recommend taking a packed lunch. Will definitely visit again, well worth the trip.

What an Amazing place. Absolutely loved it! Plenty to see, great interaction with the animals and fantastic all-round place to visit. Patting the lion cubs was the highlight of the day! Thanks Paradise Valley!

A great walk through some native bush and plenty of trout to see and feed. Loads of ducks as well, not sure they are an official feature but if you're a fan you are in for a treat. Very friendly goats and an assortment of other animals but of course the highlights are the lions and the chance to pat a lion cub. The signage to get to the lion enclosure isn't very clear and you could possibly miss it.A great way to spend some time relaxing and feeding the animals, enjoying the walk through bush and drinking pure water from a natural spring.

Long overdue visiting Paradise Valley Springs. The weather was not the greatest for photos, but still managed to get some good ones. The walks by the streams, in the bush, with the trout is lovely and peaceful. The highlight of course is the Lions, and right now the Lion Cubs - getting to pat them before they get much older.For me the farm animals are not of a lot of interest, but younger kids will love being able to get close up to them, and being able to feed some of them, and the trout. The park is very well presented, with nice clear paths, walking tracks. All the staff were friendly and helpful.I spent over 6 hours here, mainly with the Lions, and Kea, as that was what I was interested in. The lion feeding was interesting, learning more about them.It was well worth the visit, I will return sometime when in Rotorua again, hopefully on a sunnier day.

It is very fun place to visit with friends and kids. We visited there to pat lion cubs however the line was very long . When our turn came we all noticed the staff was very rude we were standing there for them to tell us when its safe to pat them instead of touching them as they were moving around the staff got very rude and asked if we can just pat one cub take photo and go. After paying the price of tickets i think visitors should be treated nicely.

It is surprisingly nice place to visit with families. 2 cute lion cubs were born in Dec. 2022. You can interact with animals, enjoy a small track along the crystal clean stream, and taste the refreshing spring waster.

Our family had a wonderful time visiting the animals here. We meet some African lion cubs and said hello to a bunch of brown trout. The kunikuni pigs were my favourite.

Excellent facility. Very clean and tidy. The lions were amazing to watch and our little one loved the deer and wallabies eating out of her hand. The water was super clear. The staff were all very friendly.

First time going with my family today.My 4 children loved it. So cool to see lions.Gutted didn't get to pat Cubs as line was crazy long.Will defiantly go again. Reasonably priced also.
