Expérience très ludique
Un bon.moment de détente mais aussi bien sur l'occasion de découvrir un.univers très lointain pour moi, française qui questionne, surprend, interroge. Beaucoup de documents, de petits films. J'ai beaucoup apprécié le guide avec ses chiens huskies. ..les expériences ludiques permettaient de diversifier la visite. Très sympathique et personnel charmant.

Le meilleur musée de la vie !

À faire absolument
Une expérience géniale, qui prend + de 2h donc attention aux horaires de fermeture. Les employés nous ont guidés pour avoir le temps de faire toutes les activités et elles étaient toutes plus interessantes les unes que les autres. Nous avons appris énormément de choses, nous avons ri, nous avons été émerveillés, nous nous sommes extasiés devant les huskies, bref je recommande à 100% Sami & Solenn, 24 ans

On s'y croirait !
Si vous n'avez pas vu les pingouins à Oamaru, vous les verrez ici. C'est un centre de recherche et d'informations complètes sur l'Antarctique et vous aurez une expérience qui vous met dans les conditions réelles. À conseiller pour toute la famille.
