Holidaying school children had the shock of their lives when Prime Minster John Key turned up to their holiday programme.
About 40 children had dressed up in superhero costumes at Playtopia Playland and Cafe and they were looking forward to a special visit from Rotorua MP Todd McClay.
But out
of the blue, Mr Key walked through the door and the children cheered and clapped when they realised it was the Prime Minister, donning a batman cape.
Mr Key spent 10 minutes answering questions, such as how he became Prime Minister, did he like his job, was he rich and what was it like to meet Kate Middleton and the Queen.
"Kate is very tall and the Queen is now 86 and she said to say hello to you all," he said.
