A Fun and Interactive Day on a Real Working Farm

The Agrodome Rotorua Farm Experience blends lively entertainment with genuine Kiwi farming culture in a setting the whole family will enjoy. Your visit begins with the iconic Farm Show, where you’ll be introduced to 19 sheep breeds, watch a live shearing demonstration and see skilled farm dogs herding sheep and ducks with impressive precision. Guests can also join in, with chances to feed baby lambs or hand-milk a cow for an unforgettable hands-on moment.

Following the show, the guided farm tour takes you across the Agrodome’s expansive 350-acre working farm in an all-weather vehicle. Along the way, you’ll hand-feed friendly animals such as alpaca, llamas, deer, pigs and cattle, with plenty of stops for photos and interaction. Your ticket also includes entry to the Farmyard Nursery and fun Shaun the Sheep activities, making this Rotorua farm adventure a perfect choice for families looking to experience rural New Zealand.
