Rotorua, New Zealand
AgraDome located on a 350-acre real working farm to learn all about New Zealand farming.

Sheep Show:  Parade of different breeds of sheep with interesting names.
Learned about the varieties of wool, merino being the finest and softest.
Live sheep shearing demonstration. 

Outside to herding area watching skilled farm dogs herding sheep through number of obstacles.
Cow milking demonstration and feeding baby lambs and alpacas. 
Farmyard Nursery so many adorable babies.
FarmTour:  sheep, fallow deer, ostrich, emu, alpaca, lama, different kinds of cows. 
Saw fruit growing: Kiwi and Feijoa, which locals like it better than kiwi. 
Tasted kiwi wine and honey.
Wood Carvings: Always look for this on our travels. Went to a few recommended places, but didn't find any detailed carvings like we found in the South Pacific.
Hungry for Pizza, tried Hell's. Even though it's a chain, really liked it. Even went back a second time.
