During this guided tour, you’ll get to hand-feed loads of friendly animals and sample delicious kiwifruit juice and honey from our land.
Before you leave, don’t forget to pop into the Woollen Mill and Shearing Museum. Here you’ll learn the remarkable story of NZ pioneers the Bowen brothers and discover the full process of wool from the Sheep’s back to yours.
For over 40 years, visitors from all over the globe have come to the Agrodome to see our world-famous Farm Show! You’ll hear some amazing facts and have a few laughs as a real kiwi farmer introduces you to 19 different breeds of sheep. You’ll also get to witness a live sheep shearing demonstration. If a hands-on experience is what you want, jump up on stage for the opportunity to feed the baby lambs or even hand-milk a cow! After the show, head outside to the herding area to watch a live dog trial where our skilled farm dogs will herd sheep through a number of obstacles. Your ticket also includes entry to our Farmyard Nursery, home to the smallest and cutest baby animals at the Agrodome!
On our Clydesdale Experience you get to take a step back in time and enjoy a laid-back trip around the Agrodome Farm. You’ll explore serene pastures and paddocks whilst being pulled along in an original wagon by our trio of beautiful Clydesdale horses. During this 30-minute experience you will learn about the history of these majestic beauties and hear all about their movie star past. Don’t forget to bring along your camera and get some amazing photos.
In the Woollen Mill you will see our authentic Platt wool-carding machine from 1906 – and learn how wool gets from a sheep’s back to your own. Ask for a demonstration of wool processing and spinning using wool shorn from sheep during the Farm Show. The Woollen Mill sells a range of homespun, hand knitted/woven garments along with handcrafted footwear, rugs, knitting and weaving kits. We stock a wide variety of wool and yarn to keep the most avid knitter entertained.
Many of the products in the Woollen Mill are made of pure New Zealand wool – be it sheep, alpaca, opossum or angora. There is also a selection of gifts and souvenirs we have sourced from round the world.
Three Valais Blacknose lambs, known widely as the ‘cutest sheep in the world’, have joined the wha?nau at Agrodome. The lambs can be found in the farm’s new pop-up nursery, where they are already hugely popular, thanks to their striking black faces and shaggy white coats.
Valais Blacknose are domestic sheep, originating from the Valais region of Switzerland. They are famous for their shaggy coats and spiral horns.
