Kuirau Park

If you’re looking for a place to see geothermal pools and explore with your family/friends Kuirau Park is the perfect place for you. You can see a vast amount of pools and as you walk through the trails you can unravel the amazing wonders of this park at a cost of $0.

A wonderful geothermal park with so many thermal springs lying around. We were even able to soak our feet in one of those hot springs with its healing minerals for our feet . Again another must visit sight and incredibly Free . I highly recommend it 👌

It was nice to be able to have a walk around a geothermal park that is free to view. Would be nice if there was some better drainage, so there weren't puddles inbthe grass walkways to have to walk through, but as mentioned, it was free!

This is definitely one of the best thermal parks that I've visited in New Zealand. Whilst it doesn't have the colours of Waiotapu or the unique guided experience provided at Te Puia, it makes it up in its own unique way. It's a fantastic public park with expansive lawns, foot baths and marvellous thermal pools with each turn providing new visuals that adds up to a very relaxing experience; perhaps perfect for a relaxing afternoon retreat when the weather's right. You'll easily spend hours here relaxing and admiring the stunning scenery. What's more? All this is available for free!

This place is awesome for being a free park for anyone to wander around. Compared to Waiotapu, it is not be as vibrant and probably in need of some maintenance. Definitely worth a quick visit looking at all the pools or dipping your feet in the foot baths (super busy though)

A fantastic and free way to witness geothermal wonders up close. Don't miss the unique and relaxing free thermal foot baths. Well-maintained paths past bubbling mud pools, steaming vents, and a captivating crater lake – perfect for photos! On Saturday mornings, the vibrant Rotary Market adds local flavour. The sulphur smell is present (eeek), but welcome to Rotorua! It’s a must-see, offering a real taste of the area's natural environment without costing a cent.

Good place to see geothermal wonders for FREE and such a beautiful park. There's a playground for kids to enjoy too.

Kuirau park was an amazing immersion experience wandering around the geothermal activity boiling mud soaking feet in the mineral pools super fun for the kids but keep an eye on them
