Pro tips to help you make a pick

Book the Farm Experience ticket online to secure your spot for both the Farm Show and Farm Tour. Family and combo tickets offer the best value.

Arrive 10–15 minutes before your scheduled Farm Show to get the best seats, especially during peak seasons.

Wear sturdy shoes, especially after rain, as farm paths can get muddy. Hose stations are available to clean footwear.

Check the show and tour times in advance—shows run at 9:30am, 11am, and 2:30pm. Plan your visit around these slots.

Infants under 3 enter free but may not participate in all activities. The experience is best suited for children aged 3 and up.

Did you know?

Agrodome’s farm show features 19 different sheep breeds on stage, making it one of the most diverse sheep showcases in the world.

The farm covers 350 acres and includes a working kiwifruit orchard, which guests can explore during the tractor tour.

Agrodome’s sheepdogs are so popular that each has its own trading card, which visitors can collect after the show.

The Baby Animal Nursery is open year-round, but spring (October–December) is the best time to see newborn lambs and calves.

Agrodome’s ‘Fun with the Flock’ AR Trail lets families hunt for Shaun the Sheep characters using a free smartphone app.
