1 / 3Snowplanet
📍 Silverdale, Auckland
NZ's only indoor snow facility in Silverdale with 8,000 sq m of real snow. Skiing, snowboarding, snowtubing, and Winter Wonderland toboggan zone all year. Beginner slopes, ski lessons, and restaurant with snow views. Birthday parties. Free parking.
We had a great time here, took our 8 year old daughter and she loved it! We did the winter wonderland experience for 2 hours and it was fantastic. Staff were helpful with clothing & loved that even though it was booked out it didn’t feel overcrowded. Definitely recommend booking a couple of weeks early if you’re going on the weekend or in school holidays.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
An eight-year-old on her first Winter Wonderland visit loved the full two hours, with staff praised for helping with clothing. One regular visitor noted it was busy — a good sign — with lockers, free parking, and the restaurant making it a stress-free outing. Booking well ahead is essential for weekends and school holidays.

“Have been here for few times by now but today was a visit as a spectator only. Was quite busy which is good. Took some pics to share with all of you. Lockers are available for use, parking for free right by outside and in house dining options are available too.”

Overview
Snowplanet operates 365 days a year from a large snow dome in Silverdale. The main slope has beginner, intermediate, and terrain park sections. Winter Wonderland is a separate ticketed zone with tobogganing, snow angels, and gentle slides — accessible to toddlers and first-timers. Equipment hire and private and group lessons run throughout the week. An on-site restaurant looks directly onto the snow. After-school holiday programs and athlete training sessions run seasonally.
