This attraction is a must visit for anyone who is in Christchurch. It offers great educational value. There is comprehensive information about Antarctica, life on the continent, ongoing preservation efforts about the continent and much more. Certainly made us more aware of the importance of protecting and preserving our environment and indeed our planet. Invaluable experience!
Fantastic experience. Plan to spend a good 3-4 hours. Penguin feeding, 4D cinema, snowstorm experiences are amazing. One of its kind center giving visitors a feel of what it's like to experience the great icy continent of Antarctica. Good Cafe. Accessible by public transport, close to the Christchurch International Airport.
This is right next to the airport and has luggage storage, so it was a perfect getaway to avoid just waiting in the airport all afternoon! There are a lot of penguins, and they are all so cute. We did the VIP backstage tour, which was super cool, and I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to learn more about penguin conservation efforts in NZ, or to anyone who just wants to see a cute little penguin up close and personal. I would definitely recommend a visit here!
Unfortunately I went wrong day and time to visit. People staying at same motel had been a few days earlier and said it was great and went round twice, so thought I'd go. Unfortunately they hadn't mentioned I needed to be there at a certain time and on particular days to see everything and I hadn't bothered to check on google as I just went on what they'd told me. Only day I could go was Wednesday morning, so missed out on the Huskies not there Wed/Thurs?. Also missed out on penguin feeding as got there 20min too late be there well before 1030am if going in morning. By time I'd stopped and looked at the penguins rescues that can't be released back into the wild and a few other things inside was 5 mins late for the 4D show and they'd locked the door so missed that too. they do say it happens in threes, lol. Best bit while there was the hagglund ride outside and only paid $30, I think because penguin feeding had already finished and no huskies either. Would I go back, probably not, but could be an entertaining morning for families with young kids.
Had a few hours to fill in so headed here. Best suited if you had kids of any age but still enjoyed our visit. Lots to learn and very interactive. Be warned if you do the artic storm experience, wear more than a thin t-shirt
Too notch, first class, A1! Great experience for kids of all ages. Very interactive. Very educational. Cannot recommend it highly enough. Should rate as a "Definite" on anyone's list of things to see and do in Christchurch.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
We had an absolutely brilliant day at the Antarctic Centre! We met huskies, spent time with Lizzie the penguin behind the scenes, experienced an Antarctic storm, stepped up to the ice challenge and had an exhilarating ride in a Hagglund - an epic day that is truly 5*s and I would highly recommend to anyone!
WOW! This place is amazing! The hagglund tour was great, actually not as rough as I was expecting given all the precautions. The Antarctic storm experience was really fun and seeing the little penguins was a cool experience. Lots to see and learn, worth a visit for sure.
We loved it, we did all the attractions and spent all morning there, our son was disappointed he wasn't able to do the VIP penguin tour, children need to be 15 to do on their own and when we booked online there was only 1 ticket available. The staff were helpful, but a little under staffed for a busy school holiday day. We loved the Huskies, penguin feeding, ride in Haggland and all the information and videos.
If u are visiting Christchurch this has to be on ur to do list when u have kids. Keep at least 3-4 hours aside. The penguin feeding shows, the storm session and 4D movie all have timings so if u want to see all. Even I enjoyed the whole experience along with my daughter.
