Our Park is recognised internationally as being of the highest quality and is beautifully maintained. Natural materials have been used throughout the park, and the flat cobblestone paths and wooden boardwalks are wide and easily accessible for all.

The park is set in a beautiful native New Zealand bush setting.
The circuit follows much of the Trout filled Ngongotaha Stream and low fences mean lots of interaction with our Wildlife.

Paradise Valley Springs is home to several varieties of Animals found wild or farmed in New Zealand - Deer, Thar (mountain goats), Wallabies, Kune Kune pigs, Giant Eels, Friendly Farm Animals, Native Birds, and more! At Paradise Valley Springs you can get up close to feed much of our Wildlife in their natural habitat.

Black Swans glide elegantly through the misty waters, as Ducks dive and play to get their food.

Our fantastic Elevated Treetops Walk winds through a secluded area on the edge of the Mamaku Ranges, putting you up near the canopy of the trees with our native birds.

Discover The Pride of Paradise - our Lion Pride. Their specially designed enclosure allows visitors to get very close to these wild animals. At times, we have gorgeous Lion Cubs available for patting.

Paradise Valley Springs is situated a few minutes from central Rotorua. Suitable for independent visitors or large groups, and there is plenty of parking.
