Step into the world of Antarctica. See, touch, and feel the wonders of the icy continent as you brave an Antarctic storm, see Little Blue Penguins, and ride in an all-terrain Hägglund.
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 a simulated Antarctic storm, go off-road in a Hägglund, spot our rescued Kororā Little Blue 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!

Amazing experience. Special thanks to Steve the HÄGGLUNDS driver.
Wow what an awesome experience, loved it… definitely recommend…. 10/10
Awesome family experience
I really enjoyed my visit to the international Antarctic Exhibition. I learned a lot more about Scott's expeditions, Global Warming and everything Antarctic that I previously knew. The staff were friendly and the Exhibition was very well laid out. Highly recommended.
