You do not need to travel to Antarctica to experience what it is like. Visit one of New Zealand&rsquo;s top attractions, the International Antarctic Centre, and enjoy a fun and interactive experience suitable for all ages.

Feel the chill of a simulated Antarctic summer storm where temperatures drop to minus 18 degrees Celsius. Take part in the polar plunge ice water challenge, learn about daily life in modern Antarctica and Scott Base, and see rescued Kororā Little Blue Penguins. Enjoy the exciting H&auml;gglund ride and a realistic 4D cruise through the Antarctic Peninsula. Children must be at least 1.2 metres tall to ride the H&auml;gglund, and all children must be accompanied by an adult.

If you would like food or drinks, there is an on-site cafe offering a range of meals and beverages, including options for different dietary needs. A gift shop is also available where you can buy souvenirs to remember your visit. All purchases are at your own expense.

This entry ticket offers the closest way to experience Antarctica without taking part in an actual expedition.
