🏆 Family Action Verdict

Kids consistently love the slides, diving platforms, and Aqua Run. One parent says it's "my kids' LOVE this place most of all the pools in Auckland" - noting the spa, lots of shade, and clean grounds. Arriving early pays off for table and carpark choice. Chicken nuggets and slushies at the café are a hit.

“My kids LOVE this place most of all the pools in Auckland. Wish some parents would keep an eye on their kids though, especially around the diving boards. Lifeguard was helping one kid out of the water, while another was jumping off the board towards the ladder and hit the previous kid. Saw a few near misses and it was the same kids. One gave attitude to the lifeguard, too, and acted intimidating. The place is so well kept, clean, maintained, and so much room. Lots of shade. Love the spa. Kids loved the aquarun. Chicken nuggets were nice, so were the chips. Ended the day with slushies for the kiddos. Be nice to the lifeguards, and check before you jump. Watch your kids at the diving boards, especially if they struggle swimming. Definitely worth the price, in my opinion.”

“Point Erin is awesome in the Summer when it's open for people. But after it closes thay have a pool party for dogs and it is AWESOME! Meet my canine bros Toru and Kevin there. Best fun ever. One word if you have a dog that likes playing with other dogs and swimmining. GO”
