My 14 yr old son & I did the 3x races at 15 mins each, We were in the Pro carts and by gosh was it competitive! We enjoyed it so much, we had to do it again the following day.
I would highly recommend this experience with Pro Karts to everyone, no matter what makes you tick this will make you rock!

We took 8 boys and 3 girls to play Laser Tag for a 9th birthday party. All the kids loved it even the 6 year old. We have played Laser Tag elsewhere but it has always been inside in a warehouse type building - being outside amongst the trees is very unique. This is a great option for a team-building activity or kids birthday party. This is our 4th time coming and it works well even as a small group (4 people) as you get to team up with others also playing.

Had done laser tag once before and had such a blast. Daughter booked for her birthday party of 15 people (a mix of adults and 10/11year old girls). The organiser was late to arrive. Informed us that he had only just been notified of the group and had to rush in. His instructions were less than appropriate. He was discussing strategy using complicated military language while speaking to 10 year old girls that had never done this before. It sounded like he was teaching strategy to online gamers. When prompted to use simple language that the girls could understand, this was ignored. Instruction was VERY long winded and not relevant leaving the girls very confused (required a couple adults in the group to show them what to do). This was so disappointing as our previous experience had been so fun and the instructor was able to adapt to the group and get everyone excited. Once we got started (45mins later) we all had a blast. Would still recommend this activity as it really was such fun but our specific experience was let down by our instructor. Got there in the end and the kids had fun.

We had a lot of fun doing the activities at the fun park but the driver check in QR code didn’t work so sign in was extremely slow. The staff in the kiosk didn’t seem to know what they were doing both times we visited. The signage contradicts what the staff are telling customers to do especially around the express queue.

Hi, we are glad you had fun doing the activities. We are sorry the counter wasn't as good as you would have liked it. It was our first time operating 2 businesses combined (we bought the Nelson Fun Park which includes the hydro slide, bumper boats and mini golf, in November 2023). We always strive to run things as smoothly and efficiently as we can. Next time you return we hope you have a better experience and please do not hesitate to give us a call if you have further questions.

The karting was fun and the outside operation was run well. The grumpy guy inside shouldn't be in customer service. We booked and paid for a 15min session and ended up going with a 10min group. My wife asked for an explanation and was told there was nothing he could do as they were too busy. No offer of a refund of the difference between the two rides. We wont be going back and I would suggest others go on a quiet day so they get what they pay for.

Hi, I’m very sorry to hear this. Can you please tell me what day you came in? We have been experiencing extremely busy times and have a lot of new staff to keep up with the demand. Sometimes we get one or two people wanting to do 15 minutes and we do not have any 15 minute races available, in this case we would usually explain this to the customer and refund them the difference. I’m not sure why this did not happen but I would like to get to the bottom of this and sort it out. Please feel free to contact me direct Nick on 021851110 or reply back and I’ll sort this out.

Overall, I had fun racing the car although it would be nice to have two different tracks as going 33 times around the same loop can get a bit boring. I was not given seat padding the first time around so I got abrasions and bruised where my spine scraped into the hard plastic seat. Be aware that the fumes are strong--they made my throat sore. They have the scores which makes it so that you can see where you came in the race and how fast you were. The staff were nice. I would say it's a bit pricey for the value.

Hi, thanks for your feedback and we will pass it on to the team. I don't think it is anywhere near as fumy as most indoor kart venues are and to be honest it is not something we hear very often, but we are sorry that you felt that way. We are glad our team took care of you and you had a fun experience. Our pricing is competitive, compared to most similar business around NZ (or the World) if you do a like for like comparing, equipment, track, safety technolgy, and our near new karts. I personally think we have one of the best karting experience for your value.

We took a group of 13 year old son and they had a fab time. The leader was really good and adapted the games when some of the other players left early. It's fully customizable to the players and they could choose what they wanted to play. Capture the flag was a great to start to the games. Take water cos they get hot!

My 7yo son and I went on the hydroslide, bumper boats and trampolines. All were fun and the staff friendly and helpful.
Slight knock that there wasn't a cafe directly on site and while there apparently is one a few mins walk away, there was no mention of it on the website or at the fun park etc that I could see. The main ticket booth/reception has a drinks fridge and ice cream freezer but there could a be a wee wait if a number of people queuing to check in. Again, minor thing and we'll go there again.

Our group of 10, 9 year old boys had an awesome time at Laser Tag. Online booking was easy and they were happy to accommodate uncertainty around numbers. Check in was smooth and the guy who explained and ran the laser tag was awesome with the kids. Definitely recommend.

Good service however the staff supervising track were a bit slow in attending karts that needed pushing back onto the track.
Also was a big speed difference in some of the karts. Makes it frustrating when racing
