National Kiwi Hatchery Experience

Connect with kiwi at our internationally renowned conservation facility.

Be a part of 'conservation in action' as you take an immersive journey through the world of the kiwi at our state-of-the-art, purpose-built facility located on Agrodome Farm, 10 minutes from Rotorua. 

During your 60 min guided tour you'll learn about Kiwi, their native environment and what makes them truly iconic the world over.  Delve into darkness and spot foraging Kiwi in our purpose-built nocturnal house and discover the secrets of the Kiwi in our interactive displays. 

You'll get to talk to our Kiwi experts and learn about the Kiwi hatching process during this educational, thought-provoking and truly unique experience.

To see kiwi eggs and chicks you should visit during hatching season, between September and March. Outside of these months you will have chance to observe our resident adult kiwi foraging in our Nocturnal House.

Connect with Kiwi and make a difference - 100% of your ticket goes back to the kiwi hatching programme.

Fantastic!

Highly recommend this - very professional and we saw a baby kiwi and an egg about to hatch! It's super cool as you get to see the Agrodome farm as well.
