Tongariro National Trout Centre

I thought it was a touch expensive for what we got to experience. A pleasant self guided walk where you can feed the trout.Without a doubt the best $5 I have ever spent was on a sausage sizzle at the end. Massive size and well cooked.

Bought the family pass to view the facility, as well as 2 kids fishing packages. The fishermen were great with the kids and they got to see the whole process. Fish then got smoked on site and we enjoyed it outdoors in their picnic area.

We purchased 2 kids fishing packages as well as 2 adult admission.The kids thoroughly enjoyed their fishing experience and even better it was smoked for us and we got to enjoy it on some ciabatta bread and it was divine.

Amazing kids fishing experience. Well worth a visit. Recommend prebooking time slot online.

Me and my partner really enjoyed this place. The staff were really friendly today and its good to see the money you spend (cheap tickets) go towards such a great cause. Respect trout and don't overfish in general. Our children have the right to enjoy the land, sky, rivers and lakes as our ancestors did.

Just a good walk for the day. Tickets are a bit pricey. Unfortunately no fishing for the kids when we visited, but has a lot of trouts to see.

The staff were friendly and beautiful grounds. I really liked the museum that talked about the history of trout in New Zealand and also water conservation. The kids fishing seems like a lot of money, $60 (including admission), then you have to pay for the adult admission price. But I would still do it again. Granted I thought the guide would show our daughter how to fly fish and then let her do it, but the guide holds on to the rod most of the time, our daughter is independent and would have like to do all of it on her own - but she has never been fly fishing. I loved that they filet the fish and then give you the option of smoking it in Manuka honey. It is awesome and you can eat it there straight after fishing. They give you a certificate with the weight and length of fish. It was a classic memory.

Kids fishing looks boring, but when my kids catch a fish, we are all happy. They were smoked and we ate on site.

Neat place to take the children, not super big you will probably need about 1 hour to see the whole thing. Costs $15 per adult and children are free. Cost isn’t bad for what it is in my opinion. Pushchair/stroller friendly

Well worth the visit, but disappointed we couldn't taste a trout! Excellent museum display and educational info. Enjoyed chatting with Pete in the hatchery.
