School holidays aren't the easiest periods of time to deal with - it's hard enough figuring out what do with the kids on a weekend.

Pay just $17 for an ultimate theme park and museum per person at Crystal Mountain, and discover the gem of the Waitakeres for yourself these school holidays. Enjoy all-day access to the Crystal Mine Museum, animal park, Gonzales Roller Coaster, bungy trampoline, Crystal Mountain express train and pony rides - and to make the deal even sweeter, you'll also receive one bag of animal food.

At Crystal Mountain you'll find a fun experience perfect for the whole family. Kicking off with New Zealand's largest selection of crystals and minerals from all around the world, many rare and beautiful specimens are both on display and available to purchase. Get up close and personal with fossils and a replica T-Rex head - just as well that thing isn't alive these days! Check out the miniature farm complete with pony rides, where you and your children can get up close and personal with all your favourite animals, including llamas, alpaccas, peacocks and geese. If you're after a little more adventure, strap yourself into the Gonzales Roller Coaster or boingboingboing your way to hilarity on the four-in-one bungy trampoline. Entry to the park and museum is free for children two years and under. Please note, today's deal is valid only on weekends or during school holidays.
