The first tour we joined in Rotorua was the entertaining Agrodrome Sheep Show. It’s an hour live performance highlighting 19 champion rams by a presenter, followed by a sheep shearing demonstration, a sheep auction and huntaway dogs on stage.

At the end of the show, children were invited up to the stage and had fun in baby lamb feeding. The most humorous part of the show we witnessed was the cow milking by audience, they're taught the gesture of milking in a funny way.

When the sheep show came to an end, we popped round the Woollen Mill and Wool ‘n’ Crafts buildings. We had an educated tour on the wool industry of New Zealand in older days. Some of the displays included a wool carding machine, homespun and knitted woven garments.
Agrodome
is sited on a great land. Except the buildings we visited, there’re other areas
at the park available for visitors to explore. Agrodome Organic Farm Tour is
also an interesting paid tour that visitors may possibly join. A shearing shed
room, souvenir shop and farmview café are also part of the park. Interestingly,
Agrodome also offers some attractions for adventurers such as ZORB spherical
challenge (the one my friend tried it) and many more. The site is absolutely a
place to stay longer!
