The second time I came, the sheeps🐑 are very cute, and so are the dogs, but the whole process is a little cold.
Took our grandchildren to this attraction. They absolutely loved it. Fun and informative. The main man did an awesome job of keeping everyone amused with the stories. Sheep, ducks and dogs were brilliant. Cow even produced some chocolate milk which the kids thought was hilarious! Tractor ride after a real bonus with plenty of food for all the animals and info on the way. Thank you all again. It was a brilliant day.
Loved how friendly the staff were, along with the great and entertaining show for both adults and kids. We (2 adults, a 4 year old, and one 1 year old) had a great time.Loved how informative the tractor tour was, and my husband and son were super stoked to feed all the different types of farm animals. Good amount of time to wonder around too, worth the price. Inviting and kid friendly atmosphere. Not crowded at all.
Haven’t been for years but have always loved the show so decided to go back and it didn’t disappoint. Only think that Asian tourists would likely find it difficult to understand the loud commentary; I struggled a bit. Loved being able to rub sheepy noses . I didn’t participate on the tractor tour because I spend a lot of time on a sheep farm. I got chosen to milk the jersey cow which was a bit of a surprise but good fun!
My friend visiting from Scotland and I did the Farm Tour followed by the Farm Show. Sarah was our guide on the tour and she was very entertaining and knowledgeable .LOVE the sense of humour ! She drove that tractor as smoothly as a new mother pushing her new born baby in the push chair. She obviously loves all the animals as they do her. Good pace on the tour, plenty of time to feed the animals and get back in time for the show. Please pass on our thanks as we missed her after the tractor parked up - we were washing our footwear soles! Then Shaun conducted the Farm Show- again brilliant knowledge base and very funny. Perfect guy for the multicultural audience that day.
We are actually from rural NZ so weren’t expecting to be wowed by the experience in all honesty, but gosh it was a wonderful day of it! Just enough variety of activities and historical/ educational stuff to still be fun; friendly staff who are clearly sincere about their animals and our beloved country; the animals are well versed on their roles and full of character, and even the cafe is decent. Ka Pai Agrodome :)
Loved this experience!! We booked it last minute as our stay in Rotorua was extended. It should be a must on everyone’s schedule visiting Rotorua. All of the staff was so friendly and so many different experiences from shows to feeding the animals. The food was delicious as well
On behalf of our entire team, thank you for the wonderful feedback! We're thrilled you enjoyed your time with us!
Great service and fun for all. But at start of farm show please tell audience that the headphones are in English as well as other languages because the microphone commentary which is excellent is very fast and a bit muffled for older ears! As 80 year old kiwis we didn’t realise we could have heard the English commentary clearly instead of puzzling it out until half way through! Signs on the stage could also note that
Thank you for the review! Feedback like yours helps us ensure we are delivering the best possible experience.
Great to see a working sheep and cattle farm, Information was excellent and easy to follow. Grear for everyone of any age
Wonderful Experience with friendly staff and animals ! Highly recommended to be there. If you come with child, they will love it.
