What an awesome afternoon!
What a great afternoon. EXceeded all expecting! From the real life storm, 4D movie experience , Hagland ride and penguin feeding! I recommend every kiwi should visit this Christchurch attraction.
Katie from New Zealand wrote on 24 May 2021
Lovely afternoon
Great way to spend the afternoon. All the activities are timed in such a way that you can experience everything in a timely manner. Very clear commentary from the Hagglund driver and the penguin keeper. Even got an unexpected visit from the huskies.
Marianne from Australia wrote on 27 January 2020
Informative and fun
The little tour in the Hagglund, the huskies, the storm experience the penguins and all the interest and hands on displays all combin to provide an exceptional experience. Definitely a must do when visiting Christchurch.
