Ohakune Carrot Mennesson Adventure Park

“This place fully commits to the bit, and it’s brilliant. The iconic huge carrot is genuinely impressive, the vegetable friends are unhinged, and the pirate ship is worth the visit. Beyond the root-vegetable fever dream, it’s also an excellent adventure park. The children’s play area is massive and brilliantly designed, with a standout pirate ship that could easily keep kids occupied for hours. There’s a proper BMX track, a well-equipped workout area for adults, and even an assault course! Come for the carrot. Stay for the park Leave slightly confused, but very happy. Would 100% recommend 🥕”

“The main carrot is the entrance into the park. Has toilets available in every language in the outside walls so you can't miss it. Enough parking even for the disabled, and easy access to park and toilets. Doesn't cost anything. Just rum around with the kids and take selfies with all the different characters that are there. This Park can be found just before entering into Ohakune from Waiouru.”

“One of the best public parks alive ever come across in all of my travels. Very well kept and maintained. Beautiful trails throughout the park. Loads of activities for all different age groups. You could easily spend an entire day here if you were looking for a low key activity to keep the family entertained. I wish other countries would invest in public spaces like this.”
