Rainbow’s End 🇳🇿

If you are looking for thrill and fun in Auckland, New Zealand, head to Rainbow's End in Manukau. Spanning 9.3 hectares (23 acres), this venue is New Zealand's largest theme park. You will discover an exciting mix of classic rides, modern attractions, and award-winning family entertainment tailored for all ages.

Adventure seekers can brave intense thrill rides like Stratosfear—one of just four rides of its kind globally that spins you upside down—alongside the 18-story Fear Fall drop tower, The Invader, Power Surge, and the iconic Corkscrew roller coaster featuring a vertical loop and double corkscrew. You can also zip around on the custom-built Goldrush roller coaster, test your driving skills on the Deep sea-themed Dodgems, steer Bumper Boats, or try Scorpion Karts. For immersive entertainment, check out the post-apocalyptic City Strike Laser Tag, the Pacifica pirate ship, Spectra XD Dark Ride, and the upgraded Enchanted Forest Log Flume.
