Toilets and changing rooms
Waiaroha has public toilets available.
Our outdoor space takes you on a journey from mountains to sea. Follow the colourful panels and touch, turn, lift and slide to learn about our water. See inside the drinking water treatment plant along the way.
Pump, spray and twist water at our hands-on water features.
Te Whare Waiaroha, our indoor discovery centre, is full of games and activities for all ages. Chill with a storybook or watch a film if you need a break from all the action.
We'd love to host your class at Waiaroha.
