Exploring Kidz Club Queenstown in Detail
Looking for more options in Queenstown? We've reviewed plenty of other experiences.
The Basics: What’s Included?
At just under $50 per person, Kidz Club Queenstown offers a surprisingly comprehensive package, especially considering all equipment and snacks are included. The ticket covers activities like 12D Motion Theatre, VR gaming, mini-golf, race car simulators, and laser tag — a lineup that promises hours of entertainment.
The tour is run by Thrillzone, a trusted local provider with a reputation for friendly service. They operate from 53 Shotover Street, right in the heart of Queenstown, making it easy to drop off or pick up your kids during a busy day of sightseeing.
The Itinerary: What Can You Expect?
While the tour is flexible in duration — anywhere from 1 to 10 hours — most visitors seem to opt for a 2-hour session, which provides ample entertainment without feeling rushed.
The day begins at Thrillzone, where kids are introduced to a variety of immersive experiences. For instance, the 12D Motion Theatre offers a multi-sensory adventure that combines 3D visuals with motion, making kids feel like they’re part of the action. This is often highlighted as a favorite, with reviewers mentioning how much fun they had “especially for the pictures,” which hints at the memorable moments created during the experience.
Next, the group might tackle VR games like Hologate VR, which offers a range of interactive challenges, or hop into drift karts for some indoor racing fun. The mini-golf course is designed to be family-friendly, allowing kids to challenge each other in a relaxed setting.
Additional activities like laser tag and the Heroblast experience (likely a high-energy game involving laser weaponry) mean kids can burn off energy in a safe, controlled environment.
From the Reviews: Insights into the Experience
A reviewer described the staff as “super friendly,” especially noting how Rami looked after their children and made sure they enjoyed every minute. They also mentioned that kids are well cared for, which is reassuring for parents entrusting their little ones to the staff’s supervision.
Another parent shared that their 4-year-old and 9-year-old had a blast, calling it “the best Kids Club in QT.” They appreciated the peace of mind knowing their children were having fun while they could explore Queenstown’s adult attractions.
And perhaps most convincing was the comment about the escape room experience — a newer addition that clearly added an extra layer of excitement, especially for the older kids.
The Value Proposition
The price of $48.98 per person is quite reasonable considering the variety of activities and inclusions. The fact that equipment and snacks are provided means no extra costs or logistical planning for parents. When you compare this to the cost of individual activities like VR or mini-golf elsewhere in Queenstown, it offers good overall value.
Plus, the flexibility of multiple time slots makes it easy to fit into your day, whether you want a quick 2-hour outing or a longer session. The small group size (max 8 travelers) ensures personalized attention, which likely contributes to the positive reviews about staff friendliness and safety.
Why Kids and Parents Both Love It
Kids love the variety of exciting activities — from the VR challenges to mini-golf, laser tag, and motion rides. These are designed to keep their attention and energy levels high, with enthusiastic staff guiding them through each experience. As one reviewer put it, their children “absolutely loved it,” and they themselves felt jealous of all the fun.
Parents, on the other hand, enjoy the peace of mind knowing their children are in a safe environment while they’re free to explore or unwind. Many reviewers mention how this activity allows parents to go out for a meal or sightseeing, confident that the kids are well looked after.
