    Christchurch International Antarctic Center is a fantastic experience beyond imagination! As soon as you enter the door, it seems that you have crossed the ice and snow world in an instant, and the simulated Antarctic environment makes people feel like they are in a very cold place. The simulated sled experience is super exciting, sitting on it and feeling the wind and the wind, as if flying on the Antarctic ice sheet. You can also see cute penguins shuttled in the water, and the state is so cute that people can't help but take a few more photos. The various interactive exhibitions are also very interesting and can learn a lot about Antarctica. Here, both enjoy and grow knowledge, super recommended!

    There are many kinds of animals and birds, but they are not rare animals. The animals are relatively lively. It is recommended to buy feed for the animals and birds. Because the venue is too dark, you cannot see the KIWI birds at all. Although the venue is not big, it is designed like a maze and has high space utilization. .
