- LeeAdelaideAdelaide, Australia927 contributionsFun DayWhile this may be a small park it has a lovely feel to it and we had a great day. There are a variety of rides to suit all ages and the lines moved well so not much waiting time. The staff were friendly and the place is clean. The food is pretty standard theme park fare, good value in a meal deal for $13, ham and cheese toastie, chips and a drink. Worth a visit!Visited April 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 8 April 2023

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The park is ok, but considering the entrance fee, it could be better. It's quite crowded. Food is good.

I have been to Rainbow’s End many times, and this time visited with my 6-year-old granddaughter. Rainbow’s End cannot compete in terms of its size or number of attractions with amusement parks around the world, which typically have numerous roller coasters and other rides to choose from. However, the friendliness of the frontline staff at Rainbow’s End is absolutely world-beating. It must be very challenging for them to remain positive doing highly repetitive jobs, but their friendliness and general attitude is superior to that of staff at all of the other amusement parks I’ve been to, including Disneyland and Universal Studio in Los Angeles, Alton Towers in the UK, The Efteling in the Netherlands, and Movie World on the Gold Coast. I don’t what the Rainbow’s End management does to engender such a positive attitude among all of its staff, but it is astounding and indeed something that many other companies could learn a lot from. As an example, my granddaughter had eight rides on the (only) roller coaster, which meant that I observed the guy running the thing over an extended period. He was awesome, sounding interesting (and interested) during each announcement at the start and stop of each ride, and methodically helping people into/out of the cars while very carefully and also very efficiently checking the safety of each of them (which is absolutely vital on such a ride). The relatively small number of rides at Rainbow’s End means that older teenagers would probably find the place a bit boring after a few hours, but for mid-teenagers and younger kids (including down to a few years of age thanks to the Kids Kingdom) this will give a solid 7 hours of entertainment, including for the adults looking after them IMO. It’s the best thing in Auckland for entertaining your kids for a whole day, and actually pretty cheap on a per-hour basis.

This Park was the perfect place to take a friend's child to. The rides were exhilarating for him, especially the dodgems which had a suitably large track for participants to crash into each other in. The rollercoaster was also a highlight.

It’s good but I wish they made the roller coaster faster which is the only one there but they have rides for every comfort but the ones I loved are Stratosfear on extreme and fear fall and they even have a place for kids if they are too afraid to go on the rougher rides.

It was easy to fill the whole day with a 17 and 9 year old. The 9 yo was sad to find out he was too old for the children's area but still too short to drive the karts (150cm) but got over himself with the help of a goody goody gumdrops icecream. The staff were super friendly and we had loads of laughs on the rides. The weather was great, so all of the rides were open.
It looks like the lockdown periods have been used as an opportunity to clean up the gardens, plant out new, freshly paint, add some more models and deep clean the whole park.
We all enjoyed ourselves immensely.

Is there public transport to Rainbows End from Auckland CBD
Brigid G
Aongatete, New Zealand275 contributions
Yes, the easiest in my opinion is the train, about 3/4 hour from central Auckland britomart to manukau on the southern line.
You can take a bus tho which will drop you off at manukau Westfield shopping centre which is over the road from rainbows end. I have no idea which bus numbers or routings are available however.
Hope this helps

Hi there, we are at 2 Clist Crescent in Manukau if you are driving to Rainbow's End. If you are looking to take a bus we are just opposite the Westfield Manukau stop. Manukau train station is also about a 10 minute walk. Hope to see you here!
