Description
Step into the frozen world of Antarctica with admission to the International Antarctic Centre, one of Christchurch's most popular attractions. Through immersive exhibits and hands-on experiences, you'll discover the science, wildlife, and history of Antarctic exploration while enjoying fun activities suitable for visitors of all ages.
