★★★★★Featured review by Dharmeshkumar Patel

Good Planet is a beloved summer destination for our family, Thanks yo its delightful tradition of berry picking and real fruit ice cream. The experience begins conveniently with ample parking, making arrival stress- free. Entry is affordable at just $5 per person, and they provide various bucket sizes for strawberries with diffrent prices. The warm and friendly staff add a welcoming touch to the day. The strawberry fields are a bit of a walk from the entrance, but the charming train ride there make the journey fun, especially for kids. The highlight is undoubtedly the strawberries are sweet and perfect for snacking as you pick. Afterward, treating ourselves to the real fruit ice cream is a refreshing, especially on hot this summer days. The addition of the cafe and wood fire pizza are delicious touch. Overall, Good Planet offers a wonderful family outing that blends nature's, tasty treats, and friendly smiles. It's an experience we look forward to each year and would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone looking for a memorable day out. Definitely a must visit worth every moment spent!

We arrived around 9:30am after the farm opened and, although there were already quite a few people picking strawberries, it didn’t feel crowded as the place is very spacious. The strawberries were very fresh and large, though not very sweet. The free train is a great bonus for kids, got enough seating spots, so we don’t even need to wait. The ice cream is refreshing and fruity rather than overly creamy or sweet, and the regular size ($6.70) is generous enough for one adult. There are plenty of outdoor tables with umbrellas, and the adventure park is available for an extra, very reasonable fee. Overall, it’s a calm, safe, and enjoyable place for families with young children.

Strawberries are versatile red berries used for culinary, health, and cosmetic purposes due to their high content of vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants. Common uses include eating them fresh, in jams, desserts (shortcake, cheesecake), smoothies, salads, and as garnishes. They support heart health, skin vitality, and blood sugar regulation. Good Planet (formerly ZaberriWorld) in Riverhead, Auckland, typically does not require reservations for general Pick Your Own (PYO) strawberry sessions during their season (October–April). It is a walk-in-friendly, family-friendly destination open daily, but special group events or birthday parties do require bookings.

One of our favorite places to visit whenever we go strawberry picking 🍓 They also offer raspberry picking, which makes the experience even more fun. The place has a cozy cafe and sells delicious ice cream, perfect for relaxing after picking fruit. The atmosphere is very pleasant and refreshing. It’s a great spot for spending quality time with family or hanging out with friends. Highly recommended for a fun and enjoyable day out.
