School Holidays at Rainbow Springs

There are heaps of extra kids' activities happening at Rainbow Springs these school holidays.

- Kids Native Night-Time Adventure
If you've never seen the park at night, lit by hundreds of colourful lights and alive with nightlife, you've been missing out! This is a great chance for kids to have a guided night tour around the park, finishing up with some story-telling with Fairy Rainbow. This is a very exciting adventure, so bring a blanket and your torch kids, and dress in some warm clothes. It's $12 per person and the adventure takes place over one hour. Don't risk missing out - email info@rainbowsprings.co.nz or call 350 0440 to book, numbers are limited. Available on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays during School Holidays at 6.30pm. (If you don't have a Rainbow Locals Card, normal admission cost also applies).

- Early Bird Walks
At 8.30am everyday - join a member of staff feeding the birds in the morning. A great way to get to know the locals, a great chance to snap some fantastic photos. See the kereru, tui, kaka, kea and other native birds dig in to their breakfast, and learn about the birds as you walk around.

- Tuatara Feeding
Watch the tuatara handlers hand-feed these prehistoric lizards at 9.30am on Wednesdays and Sundays. Tuatara don't move very often and eat even less! Take advantage of this rare opportunity to see these dinosaurs in action.
