The International Antarctica Centre in Christchurch is a captivating experience for all ages! đ We learned so much about Antarctica, and the -18 degree snowstorm and the 4D movie added an immersive touch to our visit.
Itâs an eye-opener that makes you appreciate Mother Nature more, sparking a desir
This was a day well spent, we were there 3.5 hours and had a fantastic day. Gabrielle was amazing and knew so much, answered all of our questions and was really friendly. in fact everyone was really helpful and friendly worth a visit!
Amazing experience and great service from the team.
Huskies, penguins, storm experience, hägglund ride... They're amazing!

Will definitely recommend to friends and family!
Very interesting and a lot of factual information, geological samples and real life footage. The VIP Penguin Backstage Pass is so worth it, with a really fascinating presentation of Antarctica wild life and the little blue penguins up-close encounter. The bumpy Hägglund Field Trip is fun and unique!
I enjoyed my time at the international Antarctic centre. While it isnât as large as I expected, there were so many unique experiences that I rate it a 5/5!
Firstly, the Hagglund ride across various terrains was so fun!
I also enjoyed the Antarctic storm experience, and thought that the igloo was a
Had an enjoyable morning at the centre. The centre may not house an extensive collection of exhibits, but the various stations are all once in a lifetime experiences. Top of the list was the artic snow experience with its hourly countdown to an inbound blizzard, along with the outdoor tracked oversn

Friendly staff and a fun atmosphere. The penguin feeding was a delight to watch. Our daughter loved to see the Huskies up close and really enjoyed being around their trainer, he was the highlight for her. Very informative about the Huskies and kept everyone safe, we learned a lot from him regarding
This is right next to the airport and has luggage storage, so it was a perfect getaway to avoid just waiting in the airport all afternoon! There are a lot of penguins, and they are all so cute. We did the VIP backstage tour, which was super cool, and I would definitely recommend this to anyone who w
Unique attraction and worth the visit. Penguins were funny, a little lazy and the Huskies were adorable. Well informed staff with a real passion for what they do.
I was honestly a bit stunned by this experience. The hägglund ride alone arguably makes up for the entrance fee (adult 59NZ$) - in addition to that you get penguins (with feeding show), huskies (with a well-versed guide answering questions), two short cinema experiences, a polar room, and a museum..
Such a fun place to visit while in Christchurch. We did the VIP penguin experience and the lady that took us was so knowledgeable, friendly and had no problem answering questions. The penguin feeding was also super informative. The man who had the huskyâs, oh my gosh, what a genuinely lovely soul! I
