good
Without going to Antarctic, I could get the feeling of being in Antarctic. It was a life time experience. We as human beings need to be very careful regarding preservation and contribute 100% without bleaming governments and countries for globel warming due to which may of the animal species have become extinct and are on the verg. Protect environment.... protect ..nature...protect beauty of Nature
Good place to visit to learn about one of the coldest and harshest continent in our precious world and all the people who have braved the condition. The summer storm room is always fun and the Hagglund ride also always fun and tends to make ppl laugh even the most stout of them :) Just a good vibe all around - the new addition Huskies was a good addition. Wish they weren't having their naps so I could pat their soft furs but oh well - we also have to respect them on their workplace >_<
Amazing experience as soon as you walk in the door . Excellent staff service all through the centre , knowledgeable and very helpful . The penguins are so adorable , loved the talk on them thank you 🙏. The 4d experience was absolutely fantastic definitely a laugh and so wonderful. The huskys just lovely and you get to pat them . the Edmund Hilary exhibits and information were brilliant. The hagglund ride hold on tight I could not stop laughing , thank you Andrew .

Cool but expensive
It was a very nice experience but if you have to pay the full price, it’s way to expensive. The storm simulator is pretty cool.
