Next to the airport in Christchurch, you can travel to a whole lot of Antarctica. Since 1992, we’ve been transporting visitors to an incredible world of ice and mystery, ambition and endeavour.
Located on the International Antarctic Programme’s working campus at Christchurch Airport, the centre has become renowned as one of New Zealand’s most diverse and dynamic tourist attractions. The range of interactive experiences here provides fun, education and excitement for visitors of all ages.
Very inter-active and a "must see" while in Chrischurch city. Enjoy many varied attractions and step into an incredible, awe-inspiring scene, a replica ice-snow cave at minus 25 degrees. See feeding of Little Blue penguins, learn around transport used even today on this massive frozen continent, the most hostile climate on earth!
Here you’ll experience real snow and ice and you’ll survive an indoor Antarctic storm. You’ll learn about life at Scott Base and see what it takes to work on the ice.
Enjoy an awesome 4D Theatre, a massive HD screen and lots, lots more.
