Hägglund Field Trip

So you think your commute is rough? You haven’t experienced anything until you’ve buckled up and held on aboard our Hägglunds – our amazing all-terrain amphibious Antarctic vehicle. You’ll feel what it’s like driving across the ice, up and down hills, above crevasses and through water – the end of the road is just the start of your journey.

Storm Experience

A great poet once said, “What’s cooler than being cool? (It’s) ice-cold.” Chilled to minus 8° Celsius, swept through by a minus 18°C wind, buffeted by a realistic Antarctic storm, this room is definitely cooler than cool. Get ready for a world of chill.

attraction

4D Theatre

Use our 4D theatre without the 4D for a bespoke theatre/ meeting experience. Plush leather seats give a real movie experience. Great for Zoom meetings or product launches. Use the pre-function space available next to the theatre for your next event. Capacity: 48 pax.

Generation Antarctica

They say no two snowflakes are the same. Watching our crystal-clear HD screen, you just might be able to spot the difference. It’s a massive canvas for you to witness incredible short films. There’s no better way to get the big picture of Antarctica.

attraction

Penguin Rescue

Our Kororā, Little Blue penguins, though the smallest members of our team, are true champions when it comes to their impressive fish-catching skills and their ability to captivate hearts with their irresistible charm. These tiny dynamos are a delight to watch anytime of day as they dart through the water with remarkable agility, showcasing their natural hunting instincts and playful personalities.

attraction

Antarctic Gallery

Antarctica is the coldest, driest and windiest place on earth. It is the 5th largest continent, with 98% of its surface covered in ice. Vast, untouched, at once stunningly beautiful and incredibly dangerous, it has captured imaginations and motivated quests for over a century.
