Great Exhibition to visit. $20 per Adult and Kids are free. It's worth a visit to see or remember what happened during the Earthquake that rocked Christchurch. There is also a Lego area for the kids or adults to have a play with. Very educational for the kids and to show them what happened
Small but interesting museum covering the two earthquakes in 2010 and 2011 which changed the direction of Christchurch. Highlights included the interactive exhibits and video interviews with residents who were there at the time. Would definitely recommend a visit to learn about this period in the city's history.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
Loved this museum, after staying at an Airbnb in Kaipoi and hearing the hosts stories about the earthquakes in Christchurch and their suggestion to visit this location to learn more I was sold. There is a cost to attend, about $20 per person. In one area, a movie plays that shares the lived experiences of a number of survivors of the earthquake, with their direct experience being in the earthquakes. Inspiring and gut wrenching at the same time, it is beautiful to hear their stories of human experience and survival.
A place to learn and know more about the earthquakes and emergency response to such situation. Quake city is a place to be considered for those who are interested in knowing the aftermath of the Canterbury earthquakes which hits in the years 2010 and 2011. The entrance fee is quite expensive and the place is rather small.
Interesting. Great experience going on the tram. Worth the money as you get to hear about christchurch. Visit the old cathedral. A must visit is the earthquake museum, heart breaking.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot sure
An amazing, moving exhibition of the disastrous Christchurch earthquake that took place on 22nd February 2011 at 12:51pm. It was established by the Christchurch Museum to describe the stories of courage and hope, and the science behind the quake. The 2011 earthquake caused 185 deaths and damages to numerous buildings and infrastructure, including the iconic Christchurch Cathedral on Cathedral Square.
You must visit Quake City in Christchurch. It is a very interesting yet somber experience, learning about these quakes, how they have affected the people and regions. The artefacts that have been unearthed, thought to have been lost to the ages is also interesting.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
Expected to spend 20 minutes in Quake City but it was well over an hour! So much information available and in easily digestible format including video and hands-on demonstrations.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
It is a great exhibition about the Christchurch earthquakes. It is very informative and is also interactive, giving many simulations and experiences. It is a must visit in Christchurch.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo wait
Had a fascinating time and heard stories from survivours at the time and 10 years on. Made you appreciate you only have one shot at life. Was well treated by all the staff who were warm and friendly and treated you like a long lost relative. In particular, Sam who advised on a delightful eating house nearby. Jacky 1 very happy visitor.
