Entry is NZD $45 for adults and NZD $18 for children ages 5-15, which includes a guided tour led by village residents — a genuinely authentic and educational experience. The geothermal geysers, boiling pools, and traditional hangi cooking demonstrations are highlights explained accessibly for school-age kids. Open daily 8:30am-5pm; guided tours depart at set times and last approximately 45 minutes. Paths are mostly paved and manageable with a stroller, though some sections near active geothermal areas are restricted. The sulphur smell is strong throughout the site — worth warning children beforehand so it doesn’t become a distraction.
