What to Expect
The Agrodome Farm Show is a fully undercover, 1-hour show that's perfect for rainy days. The show features a working sheep and cattle farm, where kids can feed lambs, watch sheep being shorn, and see sheepdogs work. Our kids loved the interactive elements, and the show was engaging and entertaining for the entire family.
With a minimum age of 2+, this show is suitable for young children, and the staff are friendly and accommodating. The show's pace is well-suited for kids, with a mix of action, education, and comedy.
- Feed lambs and pet sheep
- Watch sheep being shorn
- See sheepdogs work
Value for Money
With prices starting at $25 per child and $44 per adult, the Agrodome Farm Show may seem like a costly outing. However, considering the 1.5 hour showtime and the unique experience on offer, we feel it's worth the cost. The show is both entertaining and educational, making it a great value for families.

Best Time to Visit
The Agrodome Farm Show is a great activity for rainy days, as it's fully undercover. However, if you're looking for a more authentic farm experience, consider visiting during the spring or summer months when the farm is in full production. The show runs daily, with multiple showtimes to choose from.

Downsides for Families
While the Agrodome Farm Show is a great activity for families, there are a few downsides to consider. The show can be quite crowded, especially during peak season, and the seating is not always comfortable. Additionally, some of the show's content may not be suitable for very young or sensitive children.
However, overall we found the Agrodome Farm Show to be a fun and engaging experience for our family, and we would highly recommend it to other families with kids aged 2+.
