Discover four different ball rolling tracks at ZORB Rotorua. With 40 litres of water and no tumbling involved, there is definitely something for all ages and abilities to enjoy.
Try one or try them all! You’ll be guaranteed slippery, screaming goodness with a dash of side-splitting laughter. The secret ingredient? We add 40 litres of water (warm in winter, cool in summer) for your ball rolling pleasure. With three different tracks, we have something for all ages and abilities to revel in.
Don’t let the cold weather rain on your parade. We’ve got three hot tubs to keep toasty in between your rides, as well as a brand spanking new warm room at the bottom of the hill, heated changing room with hairdryers and even blankets!
The fastest and steepest downhill ball rolling track in all the land! Perched high up on the edge of the ultimate drop, feel the earth disappear beneath you as you plummet down the craziest ZORB track ever invented. If the epic view doesn’t take your breath away, the sheer scale will have you gasping.
The twistiest track ever constructed, the Sidewinder is the longest in the world. Gather speed up on the straightaway before riding up the sides of the 6 massive corners. From the inside, you’ll never know what is coming next, and when you think you’re done… the corners keep on coming!
Superman dive into a ZORB ball and slip, slide, and laugh your way down the 250m long slope! Riders have the option of racing their friends and family down our dual tracks, and if you have the skills, try to stay upright and run all the way down the hill (for the extra competitive).
The PIPELINE is our newest track at ZORB Rotorua. This track is out-the-gate fun and offers a bit of everything: a wiggle and a weave to start, a dash through an arboreal tunnel, and a sweeping half pipe finish! The PIPELINE combines big turns and fast straights with the signature excitement ZORB is known for!
“I KNEW IT WOULD BE FUN BUT NOT THAT FUN! SO MUCH FUN! ZORB IS WILD AND WE LOVED IT!”
DO NOT MISS OUT ON THIS ICONIC KIWI INVENTION, WHERE IT ALL BEGAN!
