International Antarctic Centre

Next to the airport in Christchurch, you can travel to a whole lot of Antarctica. Since 1992, we’ve been transporting visitors to an incredible world of ice and mystery, ambition, and endeavour.

Located on the International Antarctic Programme’s working campus at Christchurch Airport, the centre has become renowned as one of New Zealand’s most diverse and dynamic tourist attractions. The range of interactive experiences here provides fun, education, and excitement for visitors of all ages.

We also have many options for your next meeting or event from a small boardroom meeting, zoom conference calling in one of our 2 large theatre spaces, or a private networking event via the ice cave into the Gallery.
