If you've ever wondered about life at the Antarctic, head for Christchurch's International Antarctic Centre for sound-and-light shows, audiovisual presentation, and interactive exhibits. The centre is part of a massive complex constructed to administer the Antarctic programmes of New Zealand, the United States and Italy.
For hands-on experience, you can enter the 'Antarctic Storm' and sample winds of -18°C.
The newest attraction here is the Antarctic Hagglund Ride, the only one of its type in the world. Its 45-minute tour gives you a unique insight into the planning of Antarctic journeys. To find surrounding hotels near International Antarctic Centre, see the links below.
