    ZORB: The Best Rainy Day Activity in Rotorua

ZORB Rotorua is one of the best rainy day activities in Rotorua! You’re already getting wet, and the rain just adds to the fun. Slicker tracks make for a different kind of ride with new thrills and new ways to experience each of our four tracks! We also have hot tubs at the top AND bottom of the hill so that you can stay nice and warm in between your rides.

While you are drifting around the slick corners of our four legendary tracks, your whānau can stay completely dry on our covered and heated outdoor viewing platform. It is the perfect spot for them to capture your slippery finish in total comfort before you join them to warm up in the onsite saunas and hot tubs.

Rain or shine, ZORB is always on!

Wet weather just means more epic slides and even more laughs!

  • Slicker tracks, faster rides: Rain is a secret speed boost! Wet weather makes the grass slicker and changes the experience entirely!
  • 40L of warm water: You’re already getting wet, so we make sure it’s comfortable. Every ZORB ride is filled with 40 litres of fresh, warm water on rainy days!
  • Cost between laps: Stay toasty with hot tubs at the top AND bottom of the hill, plus a sauna, heated changing rooms, and a covered viewing area.
  • All-weather reliability: We operate in almost all conditions. Only lightning or extreme winds pause the fun, so you can count on us when other activities are rained out!

What to Expect When it Rains at ZORB
