Rotorua - Paradise Valley


Paradise Valley Springs advertises being able to pat lion cubs as its main draw card, however in my opinion the fresh water spring was the highlight.

Make sure you take a drink bottle so you can fill it directly from this amazing spring. The water is cold & so very refreshing.

The animals are varied and interesting and you are able to pat many of them. There are lions, alpaca, wild pigs, sheep, deer, ducks, trout, thar, turkey, opossum, birds, kea, eels, wallabies,
You can buy a small bag of grains to feed the animals and trout as you walk around.

It's worth packing a picnic although a small cafe is on site.
2 of the kids didn't enjoy themselves but the other 2 loved it. Overall I thought it was worthwhile & rate it 3/5.
