Education outside the classroom

ZORB is a popular destination for school groups and educational field trips when you are wondering what to see in Rotorua, offering study material for various types of projects that appeal to children of all ages. We are an active member of the Rotorua Education Network (REN) – a first-of-its-kind tourism collective solely dedicated to the education industry. All REN members have a curriculum-based educational component to their product or have an added value component to their core service, specifically developed for education groups – learn more about REN here.

The inventors and developers of the activity are owner/operators of ZORB and are available on site to talk about all aspects of their ideas and developments. We have a wealth of experience in developing a new and unique adventure tourism experience from scratch and creating a product, brand and activity that is now known throughout the world. We also have the ZORB factory onsite – custom made factory tours can also be arranged for a first hand behind the scenes insight in the manufacturing of our ZORB balls –  truly NZ made!

We offer special packages, complimentary factory tours and education workshops for our visiting school groups  – email us on bookings@zorb.com with the details of your education group.

We can tailor make education workshops for all ages and education levels on the following subjects:

  • Tourism
  • Geography
  • Economics and Business
  • Design and Invention
  • Physics and Mathematics
  • Sustainability and our care of the environment

Let us know what your educational requirements are and we can tailor-make an experience to suit. Catered lunches from BBQ’s through to Pita Pit lunch options are also available to keep the kids hunger pains at bay. Alternatively, bring your own snacks and enjoy our terraced area for a picnic overlooking the park. If you would like to know more about how we can accommodate your education group please email us on bookings@zorb.com

#ZORBROTORUA

Small acts make a big difference in our community. Did you know that we have picked up rubbish every day along SH5 for the last 14 years as part of our opening procedures? Every little bit counts and as you can see we take it very seriously. We also love a mana wave so if you see us cleaning up the road outside ZORB Rotorua in the morning, make sure you beep out!

We recently did some leadership training with @yellowumbrellanz and what we found is there's no one combination of strengths that makes a great leader, it's how you use them. What are your top 5 strengths?

Due to an injury and a technicality we have the intense rematch / finals between Selwyn Sizzler and Ginger Ninja… with our ZORBLYMPICS Gold medalist for 2024 going to the one, the only, the always lonely… GINGER NINJA 🥷🏽 thank you for watching this years ZORBLYMPICS, we’ll see you next year 🫡
The 2nd heat of 2024’s ZORBLYMPICS! A close one despite Hemana Hustler using a cheeky (possibly against the rules?) technique 👀 … The first down the hill was… Coconut Thunder ⛈️ but did he thunder to hard? 🫣
The opening race of ZORBLYMPICS 2024 didn’t go how Ginger Ninja thought it would… despite the false start 👀 … Our first winner is SELWYN SIZZLER 🌭
Well well well, who do we have here? Is that the Ginga Ninja 🥷 coming back to detend his title and show the others who the real OG is? The 4th and final athlete in the ZORBlympics checking in. So who is your money on?
ZORBlympics athlete #3, coming in hot...once he figured out what a bio was and remembered what his name was. Lucky we came up with a better name for him, introducing the Selwyn Sizzler. Do you think he talks a big game?
The second athlete who is joining us for this year's ZORBlympics.. 🥁drum roll🥁... none other than the Hemana Hustler. Who has their money on the big dawg himself?

DO NOT MISS OUT ON THIS ICONIC KIWI INVENTION, WHERE IT ALL BEGAN!
