Crystal Mountain 80 Candia Road, Swanson, Auckland 0614

"I went here during a weekday with My younger daughter , and my grandson, we walked around looking at the animals we then had a train ride around the park, none of the other outside rides were available, this day, and some are only available on weekends and school holidays so you will need to check for availability rather than be disappointed, in which we were not, because we had so much fun at the indoor playground and every hour one of the assistants came up and started up the inside rides which were awesome as well as the amazing indoor playground, there was so much to do then we took another stroll making our way back to the entrance where we took a long look around the beautiful Crystal shop and down the lift underneath to the museum, The whole place made a really good day out, and i felt it was value for money, the toilets were clean, park, and eating areas tidy and clean and the cafe was well stocked with some yummy looking food, to satisfy anyone, although we did not eat on this occasion, We met the queen of the place Bella the beautiful exquisite Posh Cat, I loved her she was stunningly beautiful and oh she flitted around like a queen, I took so many pictures of the park my grandsons mother was astonished lol after i sent them all to her, this Place has a good relaxed feel and I would recommend anyone who hasnt been here, to visit, I would recommend it more enjoyable for younger kids and adults, as the rides and indoor playground are based 12yrs and under, The crystal shop also has online buying as well as onsite, its a huge beautiful collection, great for gifts of all tastes and desires . Thankyou for your hospitality all the staff here were very friendly and with a smile"

"Kids will surely enjoy this place. The train by the entrance takes you to a slow tour around the whole place. You can see pige, donkeys, ponies, peacocks, bunnies, llamas, alpaca, emus, and others . The indoor playground is also fun. The place is overall clean and tidy."

"I am so disgusted in this place, it was run down, grotty, misleading from its online website and the animals looked so neglected. I feel sad from this experience and I feel they really need to take a look at how they care for their animals. I never want to bring our children back again, the benches were even broken. I feel like calling animal welfare on you. For 2 kids and 2 adults you charged $65….. I am so sad for this experience. So so sad. It just felt so dirty and down."

"Great place for little ones. My son enjoyed to see lovely animals, train and car ride outside. There is a rollercoaster as well. There's cafe inside and outside. Both have same menu. Ordered wrap around $10, good size and tasty. Inside playground was great too. We will come back again."

"We went on a Friday and there weren't a lot of people so it was a peaceful and relaxed experience. You can purchase your tickets and feed for the animals at the cafe. The animal feed was 50 cents a pack, which is very cheap as compared to other animal feeding experiences we have been to. You can feed all the animals with the feed except the pigs and rabbits. If you have children, they would love the indoor playground! You might also want to go on weekends or public holidays instead as the rides only operate on those days at a half hourly schedule. We enjoyed the crystal museum and shop too. There were dinosaur eggs, bones and some fossils at the museum apart from the crystals. The shop has a wide range of crystals, with both raw and polished ones in various sizes. Definitely worth a visit! :)"
