1 / 2Parakai Springs
📍 Parakai, Auckland
Natural geothermal hot springs with indoor and outdoor thermal pools, two waterslides, private spa hire and an adults-only pool. BBQ facilities, picnic grounds, café and a swim school on site. Free parking.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
A full-day destination for families who bring their own food or hire a BBQ setup - those who arrive prepared get significantly more from the visit than those who don't. Best for children aged 5 and up who can use the waterslides independently. The hand-stamp re-entry system makes a Helensville lunch run easy.

“Absolutely an amazing experience in Parakai Springs. It's very flexible serving you various activities such as the hot spring indoor, the swimming pool outdoor, and a massive tall slide into another pool. On the other side there's a vast field area for sports or picnic, most importantly is BBQ. Enjoy!”
