I took all this information written in this article from a person who has been to Rotorua many times as compared to me but still I will go there whenever I will get a lucky chance. This article is non-commercial and is intended to be for general information.
Location
The time taken to visit Rotorua is about 2.5 – 3 hours and its south of Auckland by drive. For going Rotorua a short way can be taken which is through Mata Mata but another way can also be taken which is via Hamilton and Cambridge, heading towards south.
Attractions
There are a lot of things at Rotorua which are a piece of attraction for all who come to north island. These attractions include geothermal wonders, a center of Maori Culture, Parks, Lakes, Natural History and a number of modern day attractions.
The smell is an attraction which most visitors have noticed. This is actually hydrogen sulphide which is a gas of rotten eggs. If you keep on staying there in Rotorua you will eventually notice that this smell comes at sudden moments and you will get to familiarize with it.
Geometrical Parks
The areas which are great in Rotorua are much more and which includes parks and other great places like: Whakarewarewa thermal area, Waimangu Volcanic Valley, Waitapu Thermal wonderland, Orakei Korako Geyserland and Hell's Gate. But one thing which you have to keep inmind that they are not free to visit, you will have to pay for them.
Whakarewarewa:
The fare for this site is the same as any fare for a visit to Rotorua. This is very unfortunate that the part has now been not the one instead it is now in two parts so each part has not enough to see so don’t need to go alone, take someone with you.

I want to warn you for the fares because due to the division, one fare is now equal to the price of two. There are the best master carvers in the NZ Maori Arts and Crafts Institute which is on the entrance of Hemo Road. There are two more things which are kiwi house and Maori meeting house.
The two famous places which are having their place there are Pohutu (big splash) and Prince of Wales geyser. The reason for this name as Prince of Wales geyser is because the geyser shoots out in three directions and it just makes one suddenly think of the Prince of Wales crest.
There are a lot of things there such as there is a place named Tyron Street which has a meeting house at its entrance where there cultural shows are organized, a village, shops and some hot pools, etc. when school hours off then a lot of local Maori children jumps off from the bridge to search for the loose change which is also dropped into the same stream.
Waimangu Volcanic Valley:
This is a place which is round about having a 20 minutes distance while heading towards Taupo in south of Rotorua. You need to already prepare your mind for a walk. There are numerous rainbow pools, the huge champagne pool, artist palette, sulphur vents, boiling mud and a huge silica terrace.

When you pay for your admission there, the $24 for an adult includes something which you should enjoy. That is you have to reach early in the morning before 10am, a little drive will take you to the Lady Knox geyser who you will find just once a day. She will feed you with soup. A free and amazing thing for you is the natural mud pool on this same road which is tremendous and you will surely find it the best ever.
Orakei Korako Geyserland:
There is a lake Taupo, a short distance after there is a route 5 on the side road on Rotorua which connects to the route 1. There is a park which you can explore by catching a ferry across the lake.

There is a good track which makes you to see all the wonders there which include mud pools, a large cave, the emerald terrace and the largest silica feature in the country. This is really worthy to be visited if you come this way.
Hell’s Gate:
There is a thermal park with a number of boiling things which are Adam's frying pan, a mud volcano and hot water falls.
There was a person selling out multi-colored sand in a glass container and I bought that, it looked so beautiful.

There was a statement which I read a reasonable time ago, a man stated that he would have gladly paid for not going to this area, whereas I totally deny from this, it worth visiting.
Maori Culture:
There are lots of attractions whose base are Maori. These are many: Tamaki Maori Village (I have not visited yet) the NZ Maori Arts and Crafts Institute (already spoken about), the Buried Village and numerous Hungi and Cultural Performances.
In 1886, there was an eruption in which there was a loss of Maori being perished and got buried into the mud. Its half area got buried so sounds like a buried village. But for tourism aspect, they now dig it and try to rebuild the old structure.
There is no review available from my side as I have not visited Tamaki Maori Village yet.
Now come to the edibles. You want to enjoy the Maori culture food and their entertainment then you will have to first book any concerts which they organize by the local hotels. You will surely find the top rated food, music and friendship there.
