Best for a rain-proof morning with a wide age spread. The hour-long Farm Show is genuinely funny, with sheep, dogs, live shearing and kids pulled on stage, and the covered tractor tour lets little ones hand-feed alpacas, deer and llamas.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
A safe bet for mixed ages and mixed weather: preschoolers love the lambs and the nursery, primary kids get pulled on stage, and adults enjoy the humour more than they expect. Do both the show and the tour if you can, and pick a weekday or the first show of the day to dodge the crowds. Audio translations are available for non-English speakers.

“Visiting the Agrodome was one of the highlights of our New Zealand trip! The farm is beautifully maintained, surrounded by stunning green countryside, and offers a fantastic opportunity to experience authentic New Zealand farming culture. The famous Farm Show was both entertaining and educational, showcasing a variety of sheep breeds and impressive sheep-shearing demonstrations. The presenter was engaging, humorous, and kept the audience entertained throughout. The farm tour was equally enjoyable, allowing us to get up close with sheep, alpacas, deer, and cattle. Feeding the animals and interacting with them was a memorable experience for both adults and children. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about what they do. Everything was well organized, clean, and family-friendly. If you’re visiting Rotorua and want to experience a true Kiwi farm adventure, Agrodome is an absolute must-visit. Highly recommended for visitors of all ages. We would definitely come back again! 🇳🇿🐑🌿✨”

“Agrodome was far more fun than I expected and probably one of the easiest places in Rotorua to simply enjoy without overthinking it. There are animals everywhere, plenty of opportunities to get close to them, and the whole experience is light-hearted, interactive and very family-friendly. Sheep, alpacas, cattle and various farm animals make it feel much more hands-on than a conventional attraction. It is obviously quite touristy, but that is part of the charm. You come here to feed animals, take ridiculous photos, watch the farm demonstrations and generally have a good time. Not culturally profound or especially serious, but tonnes of fun and a very enjoyable break from Rotorua’s geothermal and Māori attractions.”

“We did a friend’s trip to Rotorua and we booked the Farm Experience at Agrodome. We had the absolute BEST time!! The price is 100% worth it, we would’ve been happy with just the Farm Show but to even have the Farm Tour aswell topped it off🙌 Service from check in was awesome, farm show guide & farm tour guide was great! Really entertaining, informative and funny😁💯 We would book this activity again and again, highly recommend booking this to everyone (international & NZ locals) this is the best activity we have done in Rotorua💖💖 Thank you Agrodome Family!!!”

Overview
Agrodome is a 350 acre working farm in Ngongotahā, ten minutes from Rotorua, and its Farm Show has been a fixture for decades. The hour-long show runs several times a day in an indoor arena: nineteen sheep breeds parade on stage, a dog works the flock, a sheep is shorn live and children are invited up to feed lambs or hand-milk a cow. The 45 minute Farm Tour follows on a covered tractor-trailer, stopping to hand-feed alpacas, deer and llamas. A baby-animal nursery, cafe and play area are free.
