Fantastic experience
Took 3 generations to do the VIP tour and everybody loved the entire experience, I can’t recommend this enough, even my 16 yr old son who isn’t into anything anymore (nothings cool enough for him) loved every moment, he said it was his highlight of his stay in Christchurch so far.

A great day out!
A great way to spend the day exploring and learning about the unique topic of Antarctica. We were there 1030-4pm; my husband and I and our 4 children aged 7-14years old. All but one of us was enthusiastic the entire time! Everyone enjoyed different things - the penguins and backstage pass was a hit with one child (though we all enjoyed it). The Haglund ride had even a tired child back to being delighted and enthused. The storm experience as fun. The interactive displays throughout the facility enabled all ages of people to enjoy the extended visit. We would highly recommend the International Antarctic Centre as a special place to visit.

Great Experience
My 8 year old penguin mad daughter loved getting up close with the little blue penguins. In the VIP experience we got to enter the penguin enclosure and get up close with 5 of the little guys downstairs before joining the rest for feeding time. The Haagalund ride was fun and the huskies were friendly.

Penguins
It was so cute seeing the penguins up close and learning about them, also heart warming knowing they are happy and making nests.
