What it is

New Zealand's only indoor snow park, Snowplanet fills over 8,000 square metres with real snow every day of the year, making it one of those rare Auckland outings that the weather simply cannot cancel. Kids clamber onto the snowtubing and tobogganing runs, make snow angels in Winter Wonderland, or take their first tentative turns on skis with the help of on-slope instructors.

For families ready to properly learn, lessons and structured holiday programmes mean children come away with genuine skills rather than just a memory. A terrain park keeps older riders busy while younger ones find their feet on the beginner slope.

The restaurant looks out over the snow, so parents can settle in with a coffee and curly fries and watch the whole thing unfold. Birthday parties and school-holiday programmes make it a practical choice as well as an exciting one — a proper full-day outing that sends everyone home happily worn out.

although a tad on the over-priced side (mainly for gear hire and those items didn't feel or smell particularly clean I thought), the actual snow planet venue was still a memorable and fun place to spend a couple of hours. the kids loved the tubes, the atmosphere was pretty neat, it wasn't too busy as went during the week, and finished up in their lovely cafe. easy parking and check in for our booking.

Snow Planet is an absolute must-visit, From the moment you step inside, it truly feels like you’ve entered a real winter wonderland. The snow is fantastic, the atmosphere is magical, and there’s something for everyone, whether you’re a young child or just an adult who refuses to grow up! The Winter Wonderland area is beautifully designed and kept in excellent condition. The kids had an unforgettable time playing in the snow, building snowmen, throwing snowballs, and enjoying all the fun activities. As adults, we couldn’t resist joining in either—it brings out the inner child in everyone! The staff were friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. The equipment hire process was smooth, and everything was well organised. It’s great to see such a clean and well-maintained facility that allows families to enjoy a genuine snow experience regardless of the weather outside. Whether you’re looking for a fun family day out, celebrating a special occasion, or simply wanting to experience snow without travelling to the mountains, Snow Planet delivers an amazing experience. The smiles on everyone’s faces said it all. Highly recommended for families, couples, and groups of friends. We’ll definitely be back for another epic day in the snow. Five stars!

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.

Flew into Auckland from Fiji on Saturday, rain ruined most of the scenic places we had on our bucket list. Found out about SnowPlanet on Tuesday. Got tickets on Wed for my whole family, had such an incredible time, staff were so nice place was nice. 10/10. Got tickets for Thur, Fri and Sat cause it’s so fun. Thanks team 👍
