Informative and fun
We really enjoyed our visit to the International Antarctic Centre, from experiencing the cold and wind in the Storm Room, meeting the huskies and gaining a new appreciation for their important role in Antarctic exploration, watching the cute penguins, taking a trip on a Hägglund, and finishing with a very cool 4D theatre experience, it was an interesting and fun way to spend a few hours. The staff were really friendly and helpful too, which always adds to the experience.

Great value. A 'must do' when in Christchurch. Some of the many highlights included petting the husky dogs, Hagglund ride, 4D cinema experience, Storm Dome, Penguin Rescue... The team were very knowledgeable and keen to pass on their knowledge. The numerable information boards and various videos running were very informative and interesting.

Understanding friendly helpful staff
My second visit was made even more memorable by the warm friendly staff throughout the centre. The centre is a wonderful insight to the antarctic. The staff are a wonderful example of, how to make your visitors want to return. Thank you

Amazing experience!
First of all: the staff members are fantastic and know what they are talking about! The Antarctic weather simulator was a "cool" experience.😉 Was there in time for the penguin feeding which was cute and the girls there gave so many interesting information! Took a ride on the Hägglund which was great fun, too. Plus, got to meet the Huskies at the Husky encounter. They were super relaxed and adorable! Thanks to everyone there for this great experience! Can highly recommend!
