This was a fantastic trip. We were on a cruise and travelled by bus to the centre which was easy to find. The overall experience in the centre was amazing. The first trip was so unique and fun - wasn’t quite sure what to expect. The guide was really good too. The inside information and the cold room was both informative and fun. We were really glad we made the effort to get there and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this to anyone else. Our only disappointment was we didn’t have enough time there as we had to get back to the ship.

Everyone was so polite and knowledgeable. The entire exhibit is superb and special attractions delightfully and educational. The speakers in the one car were not working properly so we didn’t hear much about our ride. However, the ride was wonderful.

So many activities to do and really cool experiences to get to know more about the work done in Antartica. It was very informative and loved all the interactive activities to keep it interesting. Recommended for adults and children alike!
