New prices at H₂O Xtream from 1 July 2026
Published on 16 June 2026
Upper Hutt City Council reviews its fees and charges every year. This includes prices for H₂O Xtream, from single admission and concession rates (multi-trip passes) to Swim School fees, and more.
Our new prices will apply from Wednesday, 1 July 2026. Scroll down to the bottom of this page to view the full new price list.
Concession card holders: If you purchased a multi-trip pass before 1 July 2026, you will be able to use up all remaining trips (including use of all pools and hot spots) without paying the new separate rate for hot spots.
What's changing: separate rates for hot spots and new spectator fees
We’re introducing separate rates for using our pools and using our hot spots (sauna, steam room, and spa) as well as a combo rate (using the pools plus all hot spots). This is to provide more options for you, and to reflect the different ways in which the community makes use of the facility.
Admission fees will also apply for some spectators from 1 July 2026. Click on the tiles below to find out more.
Free spectators
Admission will be free for the following spectators:
- accompanying a child under 14 (maximum one free supervisor per child)
- a caregiver or companion assisting someone
- viewing the party room or pool for a potential booking
Paying spectators
Our new spectator fee of $2.00 per person will apply to everyone who is coming into H₂O Xtream just for general observation, and who isn't directly supervising a child under 14 or assisting someone as a caregiver or companion.
