Awesome Experience
Fabulous exhibition and interactive displays. Sad I only had 3 hours - could have spent more time just watching the videos of the of the area. Thank you.

Fun for Big Kids & Little Ones
Easy booking, easy parking. We loved the Snow room (except for the very little ones even with the jackets provided.) The information stations were interesting and fun games for kids on the way. Watching the feeding and the penguins swimming under water was great. The 3D movie was interesting to give you a full on experience of the Grandeur and size of beautiful Antarctica We'll be back, Thank you

Average experience
Average experience. Expected penguins to be fun but there were only 2. Not much fun.

International Antarctic centre
Plenty to see. Loved the 4D show. All exhibits worthy of the time spent looking, reading, listening about them. Loved that we were able to see what the scientists are doing down at the base to try and help save our planet from global warming. Really makes you think about what we are doing to our planet and wildlife.
