Embark on a journey through Antarctica without leaving Christchurch.  One of New Zealand's best tourist attractions, the International Antarctic Centre provides visitors of all ages with an interactive, fun and exciting experience of Antarctica.  You'll experience snow and ice, a storm, learn about life in modern day Antarctica and Scott Base, and hang out with Little Blue Penguins!  There's also the famously exciting Hagglund ride and an awesome simulated 4D cruise plus heaps more! Take a sneek peak here...
