All Blacks Experience
Even if you don’t watch rugby, you probably know the All Blacks; the sports team is responsible for introducing Māori culture to the world with their famed pre-game haka performances. A new attraction, the immersive All Blacks Experience covers the history of rugby in NZ and its role in shaping the country’s national identity. Frankly how you’ll rate this attraction still heavily depends on your level of interest in the sport. The 45-minute guided tour includes learning about the team’s dressing room rituals, interactive team games that require zero athletic ability, and a simulation of what it’s like to walk out onto the field to a cheering crowd and face the All Blacks as they perform the ceremonial haka. The highlight though—and the thing you’ll want to budget extra time for—is the kid-pleasing Step Up section, where you can test your own skills, including agility, kicking, and passing. Regardless of whether you’re a superfan or just learning about rugby, you’ll learn something new.
