Welcome to Antarctica, Christchurch!
With mysterious deep seas, unique creatures and endless icy plains, Antarctica is a land like no other. A fragile place that has drawn the bravest explorers from far and wide, leaving all who visit with a passion to protect this stunning rarity.
The International Antarctic Centre transports a slice of this astounding continent to Christchurch, with a range of immersive experiences that allow everyday visitors to see, touch, feel and fall in love with Antarctica.
Brave an Antarctic storm, go off-road in a Hagglund, mingle with the penguins, experience Antarctica from all four dimensions and leave with a head full of knowledge, a heart full of love and inspiration to take action, just like the explorers before you.

Took us over 4 hours to explore the brilliant International Antarctic Centre! Experience included Hägglunds Field Trip (allowed us to experience what it would be like travelling in one of the storm vehicles), Storm Dome (was a blast to experience a Summer storm- thankgoodness for the supplied thermal jackets), Penguin Rescue (informative), HD Theatre, 4D Theatre (loved the surprise spurts of water!), and Husky Zone (amazing animals and informative handler). Thoroughly recommended.
We loved our visit and all the experiences
Not worth the excessive price! The penguins are blue penguins, you cab see them lots of places. The snow storm was ok, the haggard ride was fun. The 4d was lame as! The perspective was wrong, the movement of the seats was Jerry, and not even like boat waves. Get the cheapest price you. An through book me, or give it a miss.
Very interesting and also fun.
