Antarctic Center - Christchurch
|
The World's Best Antarctic
Attraction - A Unique Experience. Christchurch is the world's aerial gateway
to the Antarctic and has been proudly associated with the Antarctic since
the early heroic era when Robert Falcon Scott and Ernest Shackleton visited
Christchurch on their way down to the Ice.
The International Antarctic Centre is a modern day working Antarctic campus
and is home to the United States, the Italian, and the NZ Antarctic
Programmes. |

The Antarctic attraction is located in the heart of this campus and has
twice been voted the best attraction in NZ. It is a fun interactive and
hands on experience the whole family will enjoy. Slide down a snow slope in
the world's first indoor Snow & Ice Experience, throw a snowball, or try on
your own Antarctic clothing at the Camp Site area. The audio visual and
interactive presentations are fantastic and the children will enjoy meeting
"Pom Pom" the penguin and "Slip" the seal! The outdoor Antarctic Hägglund
Ride is a "must do"- a 10 - 15 minute Adventure Course ride on a genuine
Antarctic vehicle. Set aside 2-3 hours for your visit and make time to have
a meal in the Antarctic Café & Bar. |
