The Easter Show is an annual family show held at the Auckland Showgrounds on Green Lane West in Epsom. The website describes it as a weekend of high-flying action, family entertainment, animals, rides and food across Easter. We hear the show returns for 2027 with dates from 25 to 29 March, and the website asks visitors to click through the images to see each attraction for that year.
The carnival is run by Mahon's Amusements, a long-standing partner of the show. Its rides include the Hurricane, Scream Machine, Gravitron, Turbo Boost and a new ride, the Ali Baba. Families can go on the Golden Wheel, Grand Carousel, Tea Cups, Flying Dragons, Ghost Train and Dodgem Cars. Carnival games, skill testers and carnival food are around the edges of the area. Carnival hours are 6pm to 10pm on 25 March and 10am to 10pm from 26 to 29 March. Ride coupons can be bought online with the gate tickets, as a Super Pass for the evening carnival or a Family Pack of 110 coupons, and there are booths on the day. Our pick in Epsom for the rides and carnival at Easter.
