Frequently Asked Questions

 

Is ZORB designed for all ages?
There is a minimum age of five years old to be able to ride in a ZORB ball. There is no maximum age (our oldest rider was 84!!!), so bring the whole family along for the ride!

Does ZORB operate in all weather conditions?
ZORB operates rain or shine 364 days a year (closed on Christmas Day). The only weather conditions that affect us are high winds or lightning.

How long should I allow for my visit?
While it depends on the number of rides and the size of the whānau in your group, we typically recommend allocating 60 to 90 minutes for your ZORB Rotorua visit. This will give you plenty of time to change, enjoy the hot tubs, and experience the rides without needing to stress!

What should I bring to ZORB Rotorua?
Just bring your swimwear (called togs if you want to sound like a Kiwi), a towel,  some dry clothes, and a waterproof camera if you’re keen! We also rent out shirts, shorts, towels, and GoPros if you need them.
