Splash Planet is New Zealand’s only water theme park – a much-loved Hawke’s Bay icon where generations of families have made lifelong memories. From thrilling water slides and theme park rides to relaxing pools and kid-friendly attractions, it’s the ultimate destination for family fun in the sun.
Originally opened as Fantasyland in 1968, Splash Planet has grown into a wonderland of water-based excitement with plenty of dry attractions too. Where else can you race down slides, cruise the lazy river, and enjoy mini golf and go-karts – all in one day? There’s something for everyone at Splash Planet – it’s where the wahoos are!
New for 2026 - Splash Planet opens every weekend throughout the year as Splash Planet Play Park with dry rides and family fun including train rides, mini-golf, jeeps, playgrounds and splash pad!
Splash Planet Theme Park operates mid November to early March, then becomes Splash Planet Play Park for the rest of the year, weekends only with dry rides only, no pools.
