Agrodome Farm Show Review

The Agrodome Farm Show is a classic Rotorua attraction that's been entertaining families for over 50 years. With its interactive shows and hands-on animal encounters, it's an ideal activity for kids aged 2 and above. But what's it really like to visit with kids, and is it worth the price?

What to Expect

The Agrodome Farm Show is a 1.5-hour show that's fully undercover, making it perfect for rainy days. Kids will love feeding lambs, watching sheep being shorn, and seeing sheepdogs in action. The show is very interactive, with plenty of opportunities for kids to get involved and ask questions.

The farm itself is a working sheep and cattle farm, so kids can see real farm animals up close. The show is hosted by experienced farmers who are passionate about sharing their knowledge with visitors.

Value for Money and Age Suitability

Tickets to the Agrodome Farm Show cost $44 per adult and $25 per child, which is reasonable considering the length and quality of the show. The show is suitable for kids aged 2 and above, and we'd rate it 10/10 for family suitability.

However, some parents may find the show a bit pricey, especially for larger families. But with its unique blend of education and entertainment, we think it's worth the cost.

Insider Tips and Best Time to Visit

To make the most of your visit, we recommend arriving early to explore the farm and its animals before the show starts. You can also book a farm tour or animal encounter for an extra fee.

The best time to visit the Agrodome Farm Show is during the week, when it's less crowded. If you can, avoid visiting during school holidays or peak season, when prices may be higher and the show may be more crowded.

How to Book and Save Money

You can book tickets to the Agrodome Farm Show online or at the door. To save money, consider booking a family pass or looking for special deals and discounts on the Agrodome website.

Some online booking platforms may also offer discounts or package deals that include other Rotorua attractions. Be sure to compare prices and look for any available discounts before booking your tickets.
