Hi Barbara, Thank you for your review of the 3D Trick Art Gallery. It was so lovely to hear the 4 of you enjoying your time here, and hopefully took home some fun photos, to look back on and smile. Please visit us again soon. Take Care Ann
The 3D trick art experience is an unusual activity that surprised us. We went as a group of 5 with a child under 1 year. The whole activity is in the warm and dry, so if it's raining in Rotorua this is one of the few things available as Rotorua tourist activities are mainly in the open. If your're into taking photos of your group, then the paintings and scenery backdrops allow you to pose into the scenery and sometimes capture a funny photo. It's a simple idea that takes between 30-50 mins to get round the 50 scenes depending on queues (there weren't any) and your time at each scene. There is a huge car park, limited drinks and snacks and a quirky shop at the end selling wool, Alpaca, clothing and nick-nac products.
Thank you so much for your detailed review! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed discovering our 3D Trick Art Gallery and found it to be a great option for a rainy Rotorua day. We love that your group had fun getting creative with the artwork and capturing some memorable photos together! It’s wonderful to hear you had no queues and could take your time enjoying the different scenes. Thank you for visiting us, and we hope to see you again on your next Rotorua adventure!
The whole place was cold and could use heating. We were told to go to the toilet BEFORE we go in as the owner wants to go home so she was going to close the toilets at 430pm. even though the ace doesn't close til 5. I should have just left then instead of being treated like our custom was an inconvenience. some of the photos were cool but its a lot of money to spend on an average outing. wouldn't go back but mainly because of the lack of customer service
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We’re disappointed to hear that you felt your visit was not up to expectations. We pride ourselves on providing friendly and welcoming customer service, and our team is always available during opening hours should a guest have any concerns or require assistance. We would have been more than happy to address any concerns about the temperature or the toilet arrangements at the time had they been brought to our attention. The request regarding the toilets was simply to let guests know that they would be closing shortly before the gallery itself, rather than an intention to make anyone feel that their visit was an inconvenience. We’re pleased to hear that you enjoyed some of the artwork and photos, although we appreciate that the overall experience did not meet your expectations on this occasion. The Art work is not for everyone! We value all feedback and will certainly take your comments on board.
took family from england an they loved it
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback! We’re delighted to hear that your family from England had such a wonderful time. It’s always special to help create fun memories for families visiting Rotorua. We hope to see you all again someday!

Spaß in Bildern
Alleine macht das ganze leider keinen Spaß weil wer sollte dann coole Bilder von einem machen? Aber wer alleine kommt findet bestimmt jemand der dabei behilflich ist. Manche Bilder sind eine Herausforderung für die eigene Kreativität aber alle Nachen unglaublich viel Spaß!!!
