There are a handful of interesting things here but for everything you want to do, plan to spend at least $100. Each activity lasts about an hour and they are spaced out so you can move from one activity to another - for example, from...More

There is public transport available from the City Centre to Agrodome. There is a link but I am not able to post links on TripAdvisor. But if you check out Baybus routes, Rotorua you can find what you need.
