At the Agrodome we love animals too! The world-renowned Agrodome is a must on every visit to Rotorua.

For over 40 years, visitors from all over the globe have come to the Agrodome to see our world-famous farm show and farm tour. This is your opportunity to join a tourist "must see" for New Zealand.
The role of Stage Assistant and Farm Tour Driver is critical to the experience that our manuhiri (visitors) have when they visit Agrodome. Reporting to the Farm Manager, this exciting and varied role will allow you to take care of animals, land and customers, with tasks including presenting at the farm show, guiding manuhiri around via tractor to explore the farm, and working on the farm itself.
