I am planning to take my daughter to Rainbow Springs for her birthday in a couple of weeks, I mentioned it to my neighbour yesterday and he told me to ask them about the locals discount. Turns out if you are a Rotorua or Bay of Plenty resident you can get a card for $20 that entitles you to:
"Free Admission to Rainbow Springs for up to 2 adults and 2 children until November. (up to 3 extra children can be added for $5.00 each) 10% discount in our gift shop 10% discount in our cafe The locals card is available to residents of Rotorua and the Bay of Plenty and all we need is photo ID to organise it all for you and the family" Are there any other discounts like this for local residents around the place. Not necessarily just Rotorua. -------------  http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

I Know in Rotorua almost all the tourist places have free or discounteed admission for locals - I keep a bill in my handbag and always ask, the buried village is free (better than $30 a head!), and Waikete pools are heaps cheaper to.

Daily Post did a list last year (september I think) of all the places.
Do a google search of locals deals and you should find a list of them all. Skyline don't do one these days but they have a card you can buy for a year which give syou free gondola rides and cheap luge rides as well as a discount in the restaurant. There was a locals week in November organised by Destination Rotorua. We went to Agroventures, Wai-O-Tapu, Zorb and the duck bus. |
