Top New Zealand Fun & Games

Experience the thrill of racing around a track in a go-kart on this Queenstown tour. You'll have the opportunity to compete against your friends or family and see who can come out on top. There's no need to worry if you've never raced before, as you'll receive guidance from the pit crew. Go-karting isn’t just for kids - it’s a high adrenaline activity that most travelers can enjoy, so don't miss out.

Take control of your own movie with a virtual adventure of epic proportions. Choose from dozens of options including space walks, 3D art, foreign museums, and zombies during your hour-long session. This is the perfect opportunity to see the future of entertainment while having fun. No experience is needed, and you don’t need to be a gamer to enjoy it.

To us, It’s about an experience. It’s about the welcome on arrival and departure, it’s about the unexpected joys, the feel good music, finding the fairy doors, walking under an 80 year old kiwifruit vine tunnel, patting a friendly giant rabbit while you putt around it, a sudden explosion of bubbles flying overhead, the world class native garden, the light shows, tranquil and serene in parts, and swarm techno lights in others, it’s a journey of experiences. It’s about standing on large volcanic rocks and admiring the 2,000 year old Rata stump from which water cascades into the pond as smoke billows out from within. This is why it is not unusual to have repeat visits of up & over 3 times while visiting, each experience is different and people leave feeling good!

If you’re thrilled by fear, you won’t want to miss Queenstown’s creepiest attraction. At Fear Factory you’ll walk the haunted halls of a maze guided only by a trail of red lights leading the way. If that doesn’t sound bad enough, live actors (people or ghosts? You’ll have to wait and see...) traipse the halls, but you never know where you’ll bump into them. Enjoy a fear-fueled laugh with friends or brave the Fear Factory alone.

On a rainy day, an animated show is perfect way to learn about the fascinating history of Lake Wakatipu while keeping warm indoors.

Then view the marine life that now calls it home from the comfort of Queenstown underwater observatory.
