Huka Prawn Park, Taupo

The entry price and experience seemed to be of good value and the concept of Prawn Park was very interesting. The reason for the low star rating was that it seemed like it was losing its maintenance fees or rather seemed a little dead. The idea of prawn fishing and engaging with the activities there was great but it didn't produce enough enthusiasm in comparison with the whole atmosphere. Many features include the foot bath in the warm waters and the feeding of the trouts, and other water activities along with the Prawn Fishing. It is an excellent time waster for families with children - however, be warned! The prawns are harder to catch than you think!

Great fun. Took a while and some pool swapping to get some excitement but once we got the spot.. perfect. Maybe 4+ hours, and about 9 prawns to take home.

Something cool for parents and kids. Heaps to do. Tuff day fishing for shrimp, little buggers just didn't won't to know about it. But paddle boats, feeding the trout and walking around checking the place out was cool.

We went to the park as a late twentys couple and were entertained for a good few hours. It's great how much is included in the ticket price. But this is really designed as a kids day out and is on the money for that. We didn't catch any Prawns... Its difficult so don't go with high expectations on that front.

I only visited this place to have lunch at the restaurant. Prawns are king on the menu.. Ask the very friendly staff which menu items contain prawns that aren't locally farmed so that you can get only fresh ones! Everything was really good and would go back for sure to eat there! Good selection of local beers and ciders.
