    Lots of fun. Updates in progress. A bit of a mess to navigate. You need to manage yourself and beaware of your surroundings. Luge is 100% awesome. Make sure to get weather it can be cold and wet.

    My family and I loved our luge experience. When you get to the line for the luge it's the perfect time to take in the beautiful views of the lake and Rotorua township. Awesome experience we will definitely be going again in the near future.

    Kids loved the place. Beautiful views from the top which you can enjoy while having some food, drinks or ice cream. The Luge was also a hit with the whole family. And if you get too competitive and leave the young ones crashed by one of the corners, the staff got you and will bail them out ( might or might not be from personal experience)…

    New Zealand vacation day 3 - headed to Skyline for a fun filled half a day. We purchased the half day Adventure package. It included gondola ride, 5 luge runs, zip line run and one Sky swing ride. The luge was everyone's favorite as it had 5 different courses you can try. We arrived early in the morning and didn't have any issues with line ups. Early afternoon was when the crowd started forming. All in all, was a great experience. Staff there were all super friendly. View was amazing. They even have mountain bike trails that looked like they were geared for experience bikers Differently an experience everyone visiting New Zealand should try!

    This is such an unique experience which can't be found too many other places in the world! It is so much fun and once is definitely not enough! It closes at 5 pm which I've never understood, so be aware of that if you're going for an afternoon activity.

    This is so much fun. I highly recommend this place. The queues were not too bad, food was lovely and did I mention how much fun it is?

    Night rides were awesome! We had a bit of drizzle and fog, and it just added to the mystical look with the lights throughout the tracks! They will not close the rides unless there is a thunderstorm, so if you're up for the adventure, it's a heap of fun! We paid $155 for our night pass, which included gondola for 4, 8 luge rides (to share), and a free pizza of our choice from the restaurant. Staff were efficient, and our 10 year old always loves the jellybean gift store!!

    Beautiful place. Enjoyed our experience just like the first time we came to visit here. View is stunning. Love the Gondola ride. The luge ride. Was lucky as well as it was not as crowded. Food is available. Great place for all ages.

  • 5/5 Melinda H. 5 months ago on Google
    Fun rides suitable for (almost) all ages! You can go fast, you can go slow. You can pick a scenic route or turny ones.

    Awesome experience. Recommend to all. We done the zipline and Luges and had a great time. Awesome staff who keep it exciting. 1000% worth every dollar!

    πŸ“Skyline Rotorua This place is one of Rotorua's popular attractions, offering a wide variety of ticket options. We chose the gondola and five luge rides package, which costs 84 yuan per person. Looking at the map, there are a total of five different tracks available! At the beginning of the ride, the staff provides a brief tutorial. The view from the mountaintop is fantastic! After finishing the luge rides, you can take a small gondola back up the hill. Each time before sliding, we had to present the ticket for the staff to scan!

    The skyline gondola, luge, swing, ziplining adventures are seriously great fun for all the family. Thank you to the team who helped us with our special needs daughter. She had a wonderful time on the gondola and with your help had the best day on the luge with her family. The restaurant has the best views in the area with great food and service. Thank you all for a wonderful day of fun and laughter.

    One of the best places to visit in Rotorua. Friendly staff, a nice area and is super family-friendly. I highly recommend this area to all families. The best place to take pictures, relax with family and have lots of fun. πŸ˜€ The luge was good, Just noticed sometimes the taking pictures machines were not working.

    Excellent adventure park! Invest and do all the things stay all day or pick and choose. Lurges are fun, my son has poor attention span at age 7 and had a crash but if your kids can steer with a wheel and are tall enough they will love it alone! Room for two when required though. Excellent in good weather but don't bother in the rain! Pretty good gift store too.

    Rotorua Skyline is always a nice place to go while in the area. It is always busy and packed depending on what time of the day you go. There is something for everyone. I conquered part of my fear of heights in 2020 when I went on the sky swing and it is scary but well worth the adreline rush for sure. Did an overnight Sat to Sunday over the weekend just gone in Rotovegas and we took family from Samoa to Skyline and the cuzzies loved it and had so much fun. If you aren't in to the luge rides, zipline, bike trail or the sky swing you can opt to sit on the tables and chairs provided under the massive built in canopy type of thing that provides shade from the hot summer sun! You can enjoy a cold drink or an icecream from the shop nearby all within walking distance. The views from whereever you stand or sit from the top of the skyline area are also beautiful!

    Great fun for all the family. A bit of a challenge for kids who were tall enough to ride solo but not confident to go by themselves but otherwise a great experience for all the family

  • 5/5 willie b. 1 year ago on Google
    This place was unbeliveable. We opted for the Gondola and 5 Luge rides. It takes 1 or 2 runs to get the hang of it but it is a lot of fun. Different tracks are available as you decend giving you a different experience on each one. When you get to the bottom of the run you take a ski lift back up to the start and off you go again. By the time you finish you will want to go on the zip line like I did and that was brilliant. You then head back down in the Gondola. There is a coffee shop at the top with plenty to have. We booked online and were able to rock up at a time the suited us. It can be busy and there might be a que up top at the start of the ride but it moves along quickly. Go on give it a try yourself.
