Located across from Christchurch International Airport, New Zealand, the International Antarctic Centre brings to visitors a powerful, exciting and interactive experience of Antarctica.

Chill out in REAL snow & ice!

This safe all-weather indoor polar room is chilled to -5 degrees celsius and is fun for all ages!

Slide down an icy slope, shelter in an ice cave, brave the wind chill machine at -18 degrees celsius, or get 'exchillarated' in the Antarctic Storm that blows every 30 minutes.

Warm jackets and overshoes are provided.  The Snow & Ice Experience is a must for all visitors especially those who have never been in snow before.

A great photo opportunity!
