Agrodome
The world-famous and live Sheep Show at the Agrodome is an exciting and informative insight into agriculture in New Zealand. Shows are presented 3 times daily, 9.30am, 11.00am and 2.30pm. Audience participation is a major part of the show. See sheep shearing, sheepdog demonstrations or maybe you would like to try hand milking a cow? Looking for adventure as well as animals? The Agrodome is an all-weather attraction which is suitable for all ages. They also have adventure activities like AgroJet, Zorb and the Helipro. The Agrojet is suitable for thrill seekers from 4 to 80 years. Or try the Zorb – a huge plastic ball which takes you (safely harnessed) rolling 200 m down a hill. And if all that action has made you hungry, the NZ Farmview restaurant can provide refreshments. |
Buried Village
Violent and unexpected, the volcanic eruption of Mount Tarawera was New Zealand ’s greatest natural disaster. It destroyed the eighth wonder of the world – the magnificent Pink and White Terraces.

Sealed paths and ramps make pram and pushchair access easy around the linked sites of the village. Artifacts and remnants recovered from the village are on view in the museum , as well as displays on archaeology and vulcanology and a children’s discovery room.
