A Truly Wonderful Experience
With an overseas visitor we spent around 3 hours there. It was a truly wonderful experience. Would recommend it to all both locals and overseas visitors.

Great experience and well worth it
We had a really enjoyable experience. Everything was well organised, easy to follow, and worth the money. The activity was fun, the staff were helpful, and the whole process was smooth from start to finish. I would definitely recommend it to others visiting New Zealand.

Paid ful fee
Bought ticket for 2.30 for antarctic center and went there at 3.15pm and end up paying extra fee to match the full price because of book me policy. Don't make sense at all. Have to arrive between 2 30 to 3. Please highlight if you have such condition!!

Amazing day experiencing the Antartic
It was a lovely day. The entire Center is well thought out and has so much information. Self guided allowed us to go at our own pace and take in everything. The 4D show was the BEST! The "cold" chamber was fun - as Canadians -15 is a nice day in the winter. But still excellent.
