It’s amazing to have such Antarctic knowledge before I leave NZ as a tourist. I loved the Hagglund Field ride but I think it’s too short to experience. The 4D Extreme is also very good experience that I was indeed at Antarctic. The blue penguins are so cute and lovely that we can closely see them and photo them that specific in your country. I indeed admire your smartness in running this Centre for tourist to have an eye open when they leave, good job!!!
What a great place to visit. Very interesting to hear about everything going on in Antarctica. The ride in the Haagland was fantastic
Had an amazing time learning about what goes into an Antarctic expedition. The hagglund ride was so much fun, and we learnt so much about what's required of an Antarctic vehicle. The storm generator was our favourite, there's nothing like it.
Brilliant highly recommend
