Well worth the visit.. there is a lot to do for all ages and it is well run
An unforgettable day at the International Antarctic Centre, Christchurch! 🐧 We experienced an indoor Antarctic snowstorm -18 degrees, met the friendliest Husky dogs, rode through rugged terrain in a Hägglund field ride, got up close with adorable Little Blue Penguins, and were transported to the icy wilderness with a 3D “Antarctica” movie in the theatre. Such an epic journey to the bottom of the world—without ever leaving New Zealand! 🌍💙
Not worth for the money
This attraction is very outdated and in desperate need of a refresh and better technology. The 4D presentation is terrible and very last century. Such a shame because there's so much to learn and appreciate of this continent. Just put some of the over priced admission costs back into the business.

Very cool 😎
Great experience. The little ride was fantastic (short) but fantastic. Inside there were plenty of things to look at. The storm was well worth it. The 4d movie was excellent.
