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.

Dont book the 3.35pm... it closes at 4.30pm...
Lots of thing to get around, experience, see and read. I wish our ticket gave us more time! Was good what we could fit it.

Excellent afternoon
Really got to learn a lot about Antartica. What an amazing place. The ice room, huskies were my favourite.

Thanks for your 5 star review!

Great for big kids too
This might be the best hidden gem on the South Island, what a fun day! Things to do include the cold room where it gets to -18 Celsius, the ice challenge for how long you can have you hand in freezing water, the little penguins, huskies, snow mobile ride, and the 4D movie. I spent about 2 hours here and had such a good time, well worth a visit.

Thanks for your amazing 5 star review Joel - awesome shot of the penguins too!
