Vacationing with the family is one of the greatest pleasures in life, where memories that last a lifetime are made. A great place for a family holiday suitable for all ages is in New Zealand, where the endless miles of green pastures and fresh scenery are a treat for the eyes. It is a peaceful nation, ideal for those looking for idyllic relaxation and calming experiences. Visitors enjoy spending time outdoors when in New Zealand, breathing in the fresh air and appreciating the beautiful weather. There are many such activities that the whole family can enjoy together and if in the lush lakeside city of Taupo, the Huka Prawn Park is a must visit.
The Huka Prawn Park is the only one of its kind in New Zealand, and a species called the Giant Malaysian River Prawn is raised here. The harvesting of these creatures is not an easy process, and a lot of development has gone into doing so. Visitors can learn about how this is done on interesting tours around the park, as well as enjoy lots of prawn related fun and games. Many who visit here spend hours fishing prawns, and after the exciting experience these creatures can either be taken home or cooked and enjoyed on the premises!
Activities such as the water bikes and the Gauntlet will be enjoyed by all, regardless of age. Those who enjoy golf can play an exciting game of Killer Prawn Golf, a special version of the game at the park. Visitors who want to be close to nature will enjoy the Bush Walk and Tree Climb, where they can enjoy the rich environment. Sit back and relax at the Geothermal Footbath on site, a lavish treat for tired feet.
Children will enjoy the play areas on site, and at the photo booth they will love taking pictures with Shawn the Prawn, the park mascot the will come to love. Prawns are not the only dish on offer and the charming riverside restaurant at the park is well loved by all customers. The Huka Prawn Park is the ideal place for creating pleasant memories.
When selecting hotels in Palmerston North for an intended stay in the area, guests should opt for accommodation at Millennium & Copthorne Hotels NZ. The stylish selection of New Zealand hotels all across the nation are well loved for the welcoming service and soothing comforts on offer.
