The Agrodome combines action and adventure with a sheep show and farm tour. If you’re looking for the full Kiwi experience, the Agrodome is for you! Located on 160 hectares of sheep and beef farm, the Agrodome is the perfect location for the daily sheep shows and farm tours. Watch a skilled stage presenter as they charm the audience, while introduce visitors to the art of sheep shearing, sheep dog demonstrations, cow milking and if visiting at the right time of the year – bottle feed the adorable lambs. Farm tours depart after each show and take guests down to the farm, meeting emu, sheep, cattle, alpaca, ostrich and more! Also visit the 100% pure organic New Zealand orchard and sample the fine produce!
If you’re more into action and adventure, the Agrodome has something to test the limits of even the most experienced adrenaline junky. Plunge from the Rotorua Bungy off the 43m tower, try body flying on the Freefall Xtreme, or swoop through the air in the massive swing. You’ll also have the chance to experience true Kiwi ingenuity with the New Zealand invented Zorb, which allows you to roll down a 200m hill in a clear blow up ball. The Shweeb is another world first adventure activity. Jump in your own pod and cycle away as you power yourself along the monorail race track.
