We loved our meal. I had Lamb Korma and my sister had butter chicken with cheese, cheese and garlic naan. Cooked to perfection!! The young man working 01 August 23 was awesome, helpful and very quick. Thank you team at Little India.
Spent a good 3.5 hours here, get in early like 9am get on the ride first, then plan your route well to make sure u see all the shows and other stuff, time it right go to the 11am 4d show, then walk out and q up for the 11.30 as its a different show, saves time...on a whole great time made better by getting it cheaper on book me
Fun with the simulated experience. Lots of information provided.
Took me toddler here yesterday and she had a last. She loved the penguins, the ride in the snow mobile and all the interactive things that the Antarctic Centre has to offer. Very friendly staff too.
We had a few hours before our flight home and went on an adventure in the Antarctic Centre! It was very informative and full of fun experiences with lots of interactive displays. We tried the snow storm and loved the HD movie about Antarctica. Definitely recommend to anyone who loves snow, learning about nature and adventure!
I booked my ticket to view International Antarctic Centre at BookMe website. It's easy and cheaper. I showed the Antarctic Centre staff my booking on my mobile phone about 25 minutes earlier than the scheduled ticket time. The staff was polite and happy to help me to go inside the centre a bit early. They processed it and gave me a stamp on my hand for multiple entry that day and wrote down the time for some important experiences on the map. I enjoyed the hagglund ride and 4D movies. Kids all enjoyed penguin feed. Thanks for all friendly staff helping all the visitors. It's FANTASTIC!!
Great experience for your family. Enjoyed the penguin feeding and added bonus the Huskies were there also. If going to Christchurch you have to make time to see well worth the trip.
good
Great experience. We will be back.
Was a great experience easy to get around, and help desk/ticketing were friendly and helpful. All staff around were also friendly and helpful. Its definitely a must see attraction in Christchurch!
My 8 year old and I had a brilliant morning together exploring the Centre. Most favourite were the “freezer”, the penguins, the Haglund and the huskies. We would thoroughly recommend this adventure. Thank you
Antarctic centre is a very special museum that show the knowledge about Antarctic and experience the the antarctic storm,hagglund rides,blue penguins ,and 4D theater. I spend 3 hours to visit most of them. It worth to visit there for once.
totally recommend for any age! I got the back stage ticket from ther website as well and it was amazing
Well we arrived at opening time and left mid afternoon. What a fantastic experience. Every bit was 5 star, informative, varied, and worth every dollar. It seemed a fair price but after leaving we spoke of how it was a bargain given the facilities there. 2 adults and 2 kids aged 8 and 11 and it was the highlight of Christchurch for us
Such a fun place to visit lots of history & info. Great place for the kids young & old to run around!!!!!
Everyone should go to there
All of the family really enjoyed the experience, the staff were incredible and very approachable. Meeting the Husky's was the highlight for me and they are so well looked after and very well trained they were a credit to the Trainer
Had a blast. Really enjoyed the variety of displays and activities. A must-do for a Christchurch visit.
Such a fun place with lots of interactive stuff. Particularly loved the hagglund ride. Would love to return there
What an amazing place. Super friendly and helpful. Great money spend.
Interesting, kids and kids at heart would definitely enjoy it
Fun experience especially for me who lived in a tropical country my entire life. Definitely worth the price!!!
The highlights for us were the simulated storm, the penguins and the huskies :)
Fantastic
It was so much fun learning alot about the Antarctic Centre! As someone who has dreamed to go to Antarctica! This was sure a memorable experience! I hope to come back again one day and feed the penguins!
Well sortu the visit ! Full of activities :)
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.
Great time. Even got a second ride on hagglund for free...
It was perfect from start to end. Driver was not on time and very informative. Coach extremely comfortable Small and comfortable group on the cruise. Underground observatory was also fascinating Would recommend strongly
Really fun and informative, great staff too
Excellent family fun, with a touch of Antarctic adventure. Great value with bookme discount. Penguin feeding was very interesting but overwhelming busy for the poor penguins. The 4d shows were fun. Great to see the huskies but they were well tied down, hoping they get a good run around now and again.
Unbelievable experience, best value of everything we did in NZ! Well done for creating such a varied, informative and realistic display, it was awesome!
Riding in the Hugglund, freezing in a snow storm, watching the 4D movie, feeding the Penguins and cuddling a Husky were all so much fun!
we had planned this visit the day of our return, we had an internal flight in the evening and it was perfect to occupy this last day, especially since the center is very close to the airport, we went on foot in ten minutes. we enjoyed this visit! the reception is very friendly, we are given a schedule with the activities to do in the first place, the caterpillar ride, the food of little blue penguins, 4D movies ... the walkway was very nice, we laughed and enjoyed. the films are really beautiful, and this is the only time we could see these adorable penguins, we have a lot of explanations about the person who feeds them and it was really a good time. Once the planned activities have been completed, we are free to discover everything we want. we learned a lot of very interesting things about the discovery of this continent, and about all that the scientists have experimented, about the Antarctic fauna, there are many little play games, really a very nice discovery, at the once for adults for children. we spent 4 hours in this center and it was a huge pleasure!
Really enjoyed the experiences at the Antarctic Centre - the Hägglund ride was definitely a highlight! I liked the fact that the staff helped plan the visit with timings on the map, which still meant you could enjoy all the displays at your leisure. Recommended trip and 2-3 hours is a good amount of time to see everything and great idea if you're waiting for a flight as there are also lockers to store bags.
It was great family fun! We enjoyed the activities at the Antarctic Centre.
Wow, what a great time we had the Antarctic Centre. Chilled in the windy simulation and the penguins where fantastic. Great educational fun for everyone. The 4D movies are great to get your Happy Feet on in the Antarctic.
