Nelson Fun Park - Mini Golf, Bumper Boats, Laser Tag, Go Karts, Trampoline Park & Hydroslide
📍 Tāhunanui, Nelson
Nelson Fun Park in Tāhunanui combines go-karts, bumper boats, a large hydroslide, mini golf, laser tag, and a trampoline park in one outdoor complex. Changing rooms, toilets, and shaded seating with umbrellas are available on site.
Nelson Fun Park is a fantastic spot for a fun filled family outing, especially if you have energetic kids to entertain. There’s so much on offer, and everything is set up to make it easy to spend a good chunk of the day there. We tried the bumper boats, which were a huge hit. They’re great fun, a little splashy, and had everyone laughing from start to finish. The trampoline area was another favourite, giving the kids plenty of space to bounce, burn off energy, and just have fun in a safe environment. The highlight for us, though, was the massive hydroslide. It’s fast, exciting, and perfect for kids (and adults!) who love a bit of adrenaline. There were plenty of smiles. The park has a relaxed, family friendly vibe, and the staff were helpful and well organised, making the experience smooth and enjoyable. Facilities were clean and well maintained, which always makes a difference when you’re out with children.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Reviewers highlight the go-kart track as a genuine racing experience for kids and adults together — the shared speed making it more engaging than typical junior tracks. The hydroslide draws strong praise for its size, and bumper boats appeal across age groups. Families regularly spend most of a day across the full range of activities.

“Definitely the best karting experience for kids that I have been to, as family karts are the same decent speed for my 9 year old as they are for the adults. First track we have been to where we can genuinely race each other. If ever in Nelson again we will be back.”
