Great Spot , Definitely a destination:) slides are fun and the pools are a perfect temperature, Pays to come at opening time as it can fill up pretty quick on weekends, We celebrated my daughter's 10th birthday and its handy to shops and Helensville for all your needs , And thanks Domino's Pizza for feeding us all! Great fun day all round, Thanks Parakai Springs we'll definitely be back!
🏆 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!”

“We had a great day, having now been there though, next time would take a picnic blanket, and plenty of food and drinks and make a real day of it. Others had hired the bbq’s and clearly had it sorted and new what they we doing - full set ups to spend the day there. Still though, we were there on a sunny as day, and lasted 5 hours with swimming, slides and ice creams. The two slides were great, enough to give a good thrill, but not to much. Noticed on the way out we could have gotten stamped and gone out for lunch and then come back in again.”

“Friendly staff and well maintain facilities. Booked private spa which was great for autistic adults and they get discounts also which is bonus. Some reviews says it needs servicing or upgrades but to me as long as facilities are maintained and staff is doing there jobs I'll be bringing my kids back here again.”
