Although a little ways out of town, the Agrodome is easily found just by following the signs along the highway. The display of sheep of every variety imaginable, and the well put together and presented show are quite entertaining, especially for families with children. Young and old enjoy close encounters with the sheep for photo-ops and petting. We city dwellers...

I was also pleasantly surprised at how entertaining this was. The show lasts around 30 minutes and at the end you can get up and close with the animals and take photos if you wish and touch freshly shorn sheep wool. Note: Cheaper tickets to this show can be bought from the iSite in the city or on Rotorua iSite...

The sheep show is pretty interesting. We were there on a slow day. I don't know if a bigger crowd would have made it less enjoyable.

We went to the Sheep Show as part of our tour and thought it was great fun. Loads of varieties of sheep, very informative. I even got to milk a cow on stage. Saw the sheepdogs performing. A good place to visit, especially for families.

Our tour guide insisted that we include this in itinerary in spite of the fact we come from a farming background. Why??? It was a total waste of time for us although many other people seemed to enjoy it. Frankly, our presenter, an Australian (I think), didn't have a clue what he was doing when demonstrating a sheepdog trial... using...

I saw this show about 20 years ago. This time I brought the family and they all loved it! The show was funny and informative. It ran for approximately 1 hour and there were plenty of photo opportunities.
Been there! done that!
