We went to paradise springs on the weekend and it was fun, the kids really enjoyed feeding the fish and patting the lion cubs, they were 7 weeks old, and they also do a feeding of the lions show at 2.30 which can be a bit gruesome but interesting.   park down by the lake front is great and they have markets on Saturday mornings down there. I love the food street just up from that.]]> Tue, 27 Sep 2011 23:10:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40601&PID=1392877&title=things-to-do-in-rotorua#1392877 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40601&PID=1392723&title=things-to-do-in-rotorua#1392723 Author: HuMum

my 18month old loved patting the lion, he also loved the luge. But 1 year old probably not so suited!

Theres a neat playground on the lake edge, and the site seeing helicopters and boats go from there too, so DS loved watching them come and go.

poly pools were ok, but overpriced for what they were, I reckon a heated pool in a hotel would be better (and cheaper)

We stayed at a rotorua hideaway lodge, was cheap and not too fancy but they had llamas, pigs, dogs cows sheep and ducks on site so every morning while DH slept in DS and I went farming. It was neat fun for him being a city boy!]]> Tue, 27 Sep 2011 18:11:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40601&PID=1392723&title=things-to-do-in-rotorua#1392723 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40601&PID=1392437&title=things-to-do-in-rotorua#1392437 Author: Richtea

Paradise springs, Argo dome sheep show and animal nursery. Lion cubs no good for toddlers, won't let them in incase the cubs eye them up,!]]> Mon, 26 Sep 2011 22:45:48 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40601&PID=1392437&title=things-to-do-in-rotorua#1392437 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40601&PID=1392068&title=things-to-do-in-rotorua#1392068 Author: CrazyCass

There is a nice walk up the Hamurana spring that you can see the trout in the water etc, took DH's 3yo cousin and he loved it

There is also a walk up the Ngongotaha Stream which according to my neighbour is lovely.

On weekends at the lake front there is usually a market, mini fire engine rides, and a couple of playgrounds that are neat for kids.

HTH - Tauranga or the Mount are only 40mins away so you could always spend a day at the beach if you are not keen on the lakes?]]> Mon, 26 Sep 2011 11:10:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40601&PID=1392068&title=things-to-do-in-rotorua#1392068 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40601&PID=1391946&title=things-to-do-in-rotorua#1391946 Author: kiwiking

Rainbow Springs, Paradise Valley (have a lion cub to pat and should still be young enough by then to be available), Agrodome for the sheep show, Poly pools for a few.

Mind you, have never tried these with a 1 year old!

There's also the Aquatic Centre for the kiddies pool.]]> Sun, 25 Sep 2011 21:52:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40601&PID=1391946&title=things-to-do-in-rotorua#1391946 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40601&PID=1391921&title=things-to-do-in-rotorua#1391921 Author: amme_eilyk
