International Antarctic Centre
Twice voted New Zealand's very best attraction, the
International Antarctic Centre is the world's best Antarctic
attraction and is located just two minutes stroll from Sudima
Christchurch Airport.
Feel real Antarctic temperatures at the indoor Snow and Ice
Experience and get 'exhilarated' in the snow storm that blows every
30 minutes.
Meet the Little Blue Penguins at the New Zealand Penguin Encounter
- New Zealand's first indoor/outdoor penguin viewing area. Watch
the penguins dive deep down to the bottom of their pool at feeding
time through the large viewing window. Or make your way upstairs to
watch the penguins clamber around the rocks in their outdoor
enclosure.
Ride the Antarctic Hagglund and learn the rich and fascinating
history of Antarctic exploration and the dramatic importance of
current Antarctic study, through excellent audio-visual displays,
photographic exhibitions and real equipment.
