Set amidst a beautiful environment of native bush, the Rainbow Springs Nature Park has a wonderful combination of natural elements and species in one setting; on view during the day and now at night.

Rainbow Farm Show is definitely a 'hands on' experience to entertain and amuse you. Each Farm Show gives an animated insight into New Zealand's farming history, from sheep farming through to the dairy and wool industries - all in just 50 minutes! 5 Farm Shows a day at 10.30am, 11.45am, 1pm, 2.30pm and 4pm.

Rainbow Springs

Rainbow Springs and Farm is quite a good family activity especially if you have young children. The Farm show is typical of most farm shows - shows the dogs chasing the sheep into a pen, sheep shearing, a bull and then a few kids get to feed the lambs. They offer headsets with translations too.
Rainbow Springs is a lovely bush walk with pools of trout of different ages and other animals that you can look at.

Large wild trout

Rainbow Springs was a very nice place to wander around in for a hour or so, the small ponds full of trout was great, loved it, the bird life was a bit slim but I think that was due to some renovation work being done, but over all still nice.
The kids will love watching the trout swim in there natural surrounds.

Rainbow Springs & farm features agriculture experience of New Zealand. It has varieties of farm animals and fish exhibits, and it also offers shows on sheep handling and shearing. Of course, there is the kiwi display which is unique in New Zealand.

Rainbow Springs and Rainbow Farm Show

Rainbow Springs has quite a show of New Zealand's natural flora and fauna including tuataras. You can also feed giant Rainbow trout in crystal clear spring water. Rainbow Farm Show is a 'hands-on' experience which introduces you to New Zealand's farming history. There is also the World of Bees to see.

White swan in the rainbow spring

It's a place to learn a little bit about the nature of New Zealand. One of the interesting animals you can see here is the KIWI bird.

The grounds feature lots of trout pools and other animals, all nicely laid out, including a nocturnal house featuring the elusive kiwi.

Another "first"; the kiwi
