Exciting ride with Haaglund vehicle
We love the ride, it will pass an obstacle course with ups and downs on some simulated terrains. The Antartica storm is also a fun way to experience Antartica, there are warm jackets provided.

Nice Antarctica experience
It was a nice trip to the International Antarctica Centre. The Hagglund ride was awesome. Best thing was experiencing the chills in the storm centre with temp going below -20C.

Loved it!
Absolutely loved this experience from beginning to end. There was plenty to learn along the way with a few thrills included and loads of photo opportunities. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. The kids especially loved the Hagland, snow room and the surprises in the 4D theatre. Oh and the huskies!! The iced water challenge had the boys trying to out do each other and we enjoyed the gift shop and cafe/bar once we were through.
