Compared to the free ranch nearby, the Agrodun admission fee wasn't much different, and there weren't many people. The driver took us for a quick tour on a tractor, speaking quickly and using a mediocre loudspeaker. Fortunately, we saw the various animals on the ranch and got out to feed them, so the experience was okay. I didn't write down the time the sheepdogs were herding the sheep, so I missed it.
Kids will love this, it's quite interesting and worth a visit if you're on your way. First, you'll be taken on a tractor tour of the farm, where you can feed the lambs and alpacas. Then, there's an indoor farm show with wool shearing and other activities. The sheep on display are quite interesting, each one looking different. Headphones are available, so you can choose your preferred language.

Blue sky and white clouds, it's another good day!
We visited the nearby red forest, where more than 170 different trees are planted. We learned how to identify the silver fern, a plant endemic to New Zealand.
I can't help but say that New Zealand has done a great job in protecting vegetation.
The trail in the redwood forest is safe, not very exciting, and not long. It's quite interesting to walk around. There are not many people, so it's a leisurely trip. It's suitable for taking the elderly and children. If you like thrills, you can try the flying over the redwood forest project, which takes longer.

Government Gardens, located in the center of Rotorua, is the most eye-catching landmark in Rotorua.
Elegant and majestic buildings. Deep in the garden's large lawn is the Rotorua Museum of History and Art. Built in 1908, the building has a pointed roof, red tiles and yellow walls. It is not high and has a wide format. It combines the Tudor architectural style and the Victorian architectural style. The building is very beautiful in architecture. The close-up and long-distance views, left and right shots are all beautiful photos.
Quiet and beautiful garden. The wide lawn is green and surrounded by benches; the quiet garden is full of flowers, and the depths are hidden with exquisite buildings and sculptures. Citizens and tourists, some stroll, some daze, and some check in, are comfortable and comfortable.
The place is not big but very unique. It is full of flowers all year round and is especially suitable for taking pictures. It is especially beautiful when the sun sets. Many locals come here to exercise, and then there are all kinds of tourists taking pictures. Rotorua is not very big in total. Basically, this is a landmark. You can walk through the city. I saw on the news that this is the worst and most criminal area in New Zealand. Is it because it is a Maori settlement? But it still looks peaceful.
