It was our first visit to crystal mountain and to be honest didn’t very high expectations! I was happily surprised to see the amazing indoor play space (perfect for a drizzly day and two kids under 7) and the carousel rides for the kids which ran hourly. The animals were great for the kids to see, great dinosaurs and other animals statues around. The crystal shop was amazing! The kids were blown away by so much sparkle. One area looked slightly under construction but upgrades are probably always happening.
First time going there so much to do kids enjoyed every bit of it Customer service was great thank you also to the staff at the Cafe for the amazing service making sure we had our order all at once 😊
As a crystal lover I highly recommend the shop and museum. As a mother I highly recommend everything. We didn’t plan to be there for longer then 2 hours, 5 hours later and we had to drag the kids away.
Nice big space our children very enjoyed.
What an impressive team there are at Crystal Mountain! We turned up on the windiest day Auckland has had in ages, with rain and trees being blown over on our way (true story!), to a calm and efficient team. They let everyone know they could rebook if they wanted as the weather caused some rides to be closed. We decided to stay and were glad we did! Our 1 year old LOVED feeling the Llamas and it is her new favourite word. Our 4 year old loved the carousal and made friends on the playground. The adults LOVED the cafe food and how calm everyone was. Yes, we can't rate the whole experience because the ponies were being kept safe from the storm and the tractors and rollercoaster were understandably not happening due to the wind, but what we did experience, we loved. Thank you!
My son got a great day here. He almost played all kinds of projects outdoors and indoors. The most funniest one is Roller Coster. Meanwhile, animals on the farm are super adorable.
Awesome day spent at crystal mountain, fun for the kids, a little bit of upkeep around the animals would have been nice to see making it a bit more interactive, other than that we had fun.
Amazing experience with my family despite the rain!
My son enjoyed the dinosaurs and rides.
Awesome place for the kids and adults had so much fun spent well over 4 hrs and still didn't get to feed the animals the crystal museum , shop and panning was the highlight after our day kids loved it definitely will be back!!!
The kids had a great day here, lots of fun things and the museum is really cool, food is also really good and not expensive.
Really good day, the indoor activities were loved rainy day but still enjoyable. It would be nice to have the rides on more often but we understood it's not peak season and a small business so we made use of the timetable. The feed we were given for the animals didn't really interest the animals that would be the only downside to our day.
A lovely place to visit.
Fantastic day out great staff, super friendly animals, heaps to do, heaps to see. Will definitely be back again. Great value for money
Lots of animals and activities for children in my opinion 2 and up. Bit disappointed the roller coaster was not running but the kids loved the indoor adventure park with the slides and stuff. The tractor ride was fun and so was the train.
My 4 year old lost his necklace and the staff replaced it for free, that's something alot of other places would never do
My girl enjoyed it so much
Kids enjoyed feeding animals , riding horse and indoor playground.unfortunate the rides were not in service . Cafe reasonably priced with a variety
Amazing time at Crystal Mountain affordable prices through book.me best time to go is during the week, spacious,staff were awesome and accommodating,indoor playground was a hit for my kids 7 and 2 also fun for my 12yr nephew.I would visit again!
We enjoyed our day out, lots to see and do, friendly animals to feed. Huge gift shop. Not to mention huge crystals in the museum. Thanks.
My children loved Crystal Mountain! They said it was the best place ever from the indoor playground, to the Roller coaster and ofcourse the feeding of the animals. Would definitely recommend if your looking for all day entertainment for your children.
Fun day for kids with activities indoors (museum, cafe, huge play area, bouncy castle, carousel) and outdoors (farm animals, feeding, train ride, horse-ride and other rides).
Family really enjoyed the experience and the Strawberries were sooo juicy and sweet! Highly recommend all kiwis add it to their annual bucket list for Summer!☀️❤️
Wear sport shoes and make sure if you are taking a baby stroller make sure it’s the buggy stroller, small stroller or stroller tyres is really hard to push.

My daughter, best mate and my neices and nephew had such an awesome time at Pins. Music was good and customer service was impeccable... Well done Pins Lincoln!
A great family night out. Had 2 games of 10 Pin Bowling and then went on to have a game of Pool. All of the group had such a fun time. The staff were super helpful and friendly and we'll certainly be back again.
