The Waterworks

Kids had great fun here! It’s worth to visit and been scheduled as one of the visiting spots during your Coromandel trip!

Coolest theme park in NZ. Real kiwi ingenuity, fun with a sense of humour dogs, kids and parents all love it. Could spend the whole day there if you bring a picnic. Great any time of year and any weather.

Great fun for the kids and grownups! Come visit summer time would be even better as you can swim in the swimming hole and use the big water slide

What great fun and what an excellent idea!Fun park for both kids and adults all made from recycled things. Ingenious and fun attractions in a great environment. Perfect place to spend a day with your friends and/or family. You can even have a barbeque at any of the three (if I remember right) BBQ spots while keeping an eye on the kids or enjoying the attractions. In summer you can take a swim, water slide and what not. We all had such a good laugh today, maybe me and my wife even more than the kids (who absolutely loved it) :)The staff were super kind and the food and drinks from the cafe were delicious.Even though everything is built from old, broken recycled materials the place is well maintained and neat. The owner Jeff is very warm-hearted chap, always ready to answer all your questions and with great sense of humour.This slightly hidden spot just 10 mins from Coromandel town is treasure worth checking out!

Such a fun place to visit. Even had a maze and scenic spot to sit by the river.

Dog friendly , allow around 2hrs for round trip. 3 BBQ areas where people can bring food to cook just need to clean up after use . Be ideal for the family picnic on a fine day .you can buy lite food, ice-cream and coffee there. Price is reasonable , gold card excerpted . Plenty of parking and Parking out the back for motorhomes . The drive up there from the main road , little bit windy and about 1.5 km is metal . You even get to drive through a wild pig show on the way , no fences either side of the road where the pigs are .

Popped in for a couple of hours after the Driving Creek Railway, had a great time definitely could have spent a lot longer if we had the time. Inventive, lots fun with gracious hosts, definitely recommend.

Fun place to spend a few hours. There are lots of interactive things that were awesome.My parents were there a year or two ago and thought it was quite run down. However, it seems like lockdowns have given the staff more time or something, because Dad kept saying how much better it was this time. There were a couple of things that we couldn't work out, or that looked like they should do more than they did, but overall it was clean and tidy, and in good repair.

Great place to spend a few hours. Bring your togs if you want to go for a swim. We managed to get wet with the water canons, lots of fun.

It was unusual but in an interesting way. Some of the sculptures were well designed in a way you know how it works but it throws you a curve ball and it may get you wet. Great for the kids as there are plenty of activities to do and great for adults who just want some silly fun. Don’t forget to read the signs as there are a lot of interesting facts and funny stories. Worth every penny!
