I'm from a farming state (Iowa) and seeing the working farm was ok but not great.

Located in the general area of the Agrodome, just outside Rotorua, the Zorb (I first saw it on The Amazing Race) involves getting inside a huge double walled beach ball, either harnessed (dry zorb) or with a bucket of water... more
