Best for under-fives and early primary kids. Rotorua's Chipmunks sits inside Motion Entertainment with a separate under-fives ball pit, air-blaster tubes, a big slide, an on-site cafe and party rooms, open every day.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

The easy answer for a rainy Rotorua morning with a toddler or preschooler, and because it sits inside Motion Entertainment, older siblings can be sent to the trampolines or bowling while the littlest ones play here. Bring socks, travel light since there are no lockers, and go on a weekday if you want the ball pit to yourselves.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

💡Socks are compulsory on the play equipment; buy a pair at the counter if you forget
⏰There are no lockers, so bring only what you can keep with you
🎟️Open every day from mid-morning to late afternoon, closing earlier than the rest of Motion Entertainment
🚗The under-fives ball pit with the air tubes is the toddler favourite

“We visited Chipmunks Rotorua during the school holidays, and it was an absolute lifesaver! I brought my kids along with my cousin’s kids, and they all had an amazing time. The facilities were clean, the play areas were safe and engaging, and it kept the group entertained for hours. It’s easily one of the best spots in Rotorua for a high-energy outing with children. Highly recommend it to any family looking for a fun, stress-free day out.”

“My kids (2yrs) and (4yrs) loved it! Very clean and new looking, they were busy for more than 2hrs, we were there until closing. They especially liked the little kids ball pit with the air tubes flying the balls up. They really liked the big slide too.”
