Located less than an hour north of Auckland, Sheepworld is a farm park that showcases New Zealand's sheep and wool production. Sheepworld is open 10 am to 4 pm every day with an entertaining 45-minute Sheep and Dog Show at 11:30am on weekends and school holidays. Visitors get to watch close-up as the sheep are rounded up by the dogs, sorted and shorn.
There’s also a farmyard full of friendly animals, the New Zealand Wool Story exhibition, an eco-trail through stunning native bush, and a great cafe. The on-site shop offers top quality New Zealand woollen, sheepskin and other products.
Sheepworld is educational and fun for visitors of all ages and nationalities, and is great regardless of the weather.
