If you would like to experience the magic of Antarctica without actually joining an expedition, you should visit the International Antarctic Centre, one of New Zealand’s most popular attractions in the heart of Christchurch.
You will experience the true snow and ice of “Antarctica”, watch light and sound show representing the four seasons of Antarctica, experience an Antarctic storm by stepping into an indoor polar room chilled to five degrees below zero Celsius, learn more about life in today’s Antarctica and Scott Base, and even meet close and personal iconic Little Blue Penguins. Some of the most popular attractions are Hagglund ride – a ride in an all-terrain original amphibious Antarctic vehicle, Happy Feet 4D, a simulated 4D cruise, and many others.
