1 / 3Velocity Valley Adrenaline Park
📍 Ngongotahā, Bay of Plenty
High-intensity rides for older kids and adults — the Swoop is a full pendulum swing, the Agrojet is genuinely fast, and the Freefall Extreme delivers real freefall at height.
Absolutely a must do experience at velocity valley, we did the swoop and agrojet. The kids had such a great time and wanted to spend more time there. But unfortunately we had other activities planned so we had to go. I would highly recommend visiting velocity vallley it has a lot of rides that are family friendly and also accommodate for the adrenaline junkies. We purchased our tickets through bookme.com we got a 10 session Combo for $350, you can also purchase Edition or add-on tickets directly from velocity Valley we paid $39 per additional ticket.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families with teens or adults seeking genuine intensity — the Swoop and Freefall Extreme deliver real physical reaction, not theme-park simulation. Staff are exceptional at reading nervous participants and coaching them through. Younger children can spectate and meet the farm animals on site.

“We had a great time here as family with older kids, agrojet is so much fun and really is fast, have a go at schweeb if you have missed leg day, very good fun and competitive, swing is massive, skydive simulator also great, added bonus of eclectic collection of farm animals amusingly occupying the same enclosure, great place to visit, really friendly staff.”

“We had such an amazing time at Velocity Valley! The activities were thrilling, fun, and perfectly safe. The staff were super friendly, helpful, and made the whole experience even better. It’s a great place for both families and adventure lovers. Definitely a must-do when visiting Rotorua – we’ll be back for more!”

“Super friendly, incredibly accommodating staff, and the kids had an absolute blast! I, on the other hand, briefly saw my entire life flash before my eyes from a mild heart attack and an existential moment after The Swoop nearly took me out 😅 But hey… I had fun. Would I do it again? Mmmm… totally 🤪””

Farm animals occupy the site grounds as an unexpected bonus. Combo ride passes bundle multiple activities. Minimum height and age requirements apply per ride. Staff are consistently praised for making first-timers feel confident rather than anxious. Free on-site parking.
