Fun exerience - We enjoyed the Antarctic Centre. Spent about 3 hours there and found it had a good mix of information and hands on activities. The Storm Room and the huggaland ride were big hits with the kids.

Awesome Adventure - The Antarctic Center was a wonderful addition to our trip to New Zealand. Eleven of us ventured in to enjoy about 3 hours of fun. The 4D movie was great, made u feel as if you were actually on the adventure. The huskies were friendly. We ventured into the storm room that featured a simulated storm in the Antarctic. That was pretty cool. After the storm we took a ride in a Hagglund and then made our way to watch the little blue penguins be fed. All the artifacts and the history of the Antarctic were well presented. All in all it was a wonderful adventure for kids and adults alike.

Fab. Highly recommend - We did the penguin tour. A group of 6. I think twice a day. So book before you go. Loved it. The guide was informative interesting and totally committed. Lots of information. Well worth the extra fee. We did the all terrain vehicle ride. Great fun though I get motion sick so was glad to exit. It is only 10 minutes or so. So don’t let me put anyone off. I get motion sick very easily. The penguin feeding was fascinating and again informative. The huskies were super cute. And very patient. Patting allowed. We didn’t do the 4 D theatre due to the whole motion sickness thing. Cafe. As we were there from 12.00 to 4.30 we had some wedges and fish and chips at the cafe. They were ok rather than spectacular. U may want to say hold the salt if salt bugs you. However the food was hot and freshly cooked. The cafe was clean and tidy and the staff were helpful

Really nice Antarctica exhibition - Really good experience at Antarctica International exhibition. The haggard vehicle ride is quite realistic with rough terrain to encounter. Also, the cold and wind experience area was very realistic of what it would be like on Antarctica during a wind storm. Would recommend as a short experience exhibition.

The storm and 4d rooms... - The storm and 4d rooms were great. Overall a great venue to visit Will certainly recommend to family and friends

Great time at the International Antarctic center - Loved the penguin feeding and huskies. It was all great! All the displays were really well done and it was very educational! 😃

Interesting place to visit. - Really enjoyed this experience, learnt a lot, but in a fun not too heavy way which is perfect. Loved seeing the pen, wings and huskies, and the snow room is fun!!

Not to be missed - More than a museum, add discovery center, activity center, research facility, educational exhibit, just ..Wow! Ever since reading about Ernest Shackleton, the Antarctic has held me in awe, seeing the exhibits of his and Scott’s base camps with survival gear made it so clear. Then the Antarctic storm chamber gave you a real glimpse of the conditions, not to mention the 3D voyage to the Antarctic. We caught the penguin feeding at 3:00 and the well trained and well taken care of, and friendly husky dogs lifted the entire experience to a do not miss this, we Loved it!! Staff was better than great, every one of them, from ticket counter to departure. Thank you all; well done!!

Disappointed - Unless you are prepared to do a whole lot of reading, which children aren’t, then the centre doesn’t offer a lot of info. The Dog sled display was hugely disappointing, the presenter just the early explorers into the ground with a , try to be funny presentation, lacked fact and purpose.we weren’t even show how the dogs work. There was a good 3 D show which the children liked , but no commentary. The cold experience in the chiller room was fun, but again no commentary….the technology is out there but sadly not encompassed at the Antarctic Centre , rated 3/10

Not worth the expensive price - Extremely expensive for what you get. The penguins were neat as was the storm room but the rest of the exhibits were tired in places with parts missing. Really not worth $54 per adult. Shame there is no discount for local people either. It appears to be a big tourist trap. Not particularly well suited to younger kids with most exhibits requiring a lot of reading. Really disappointed after looking forward to coming here for some time
