Went to the Antartic Centre which is just by the Airport here in Christchurch. It cost Nz$30 admission which included a ride in the Haggelund over the rough terrain.
The Haggelund takes you over steep hills, on 31 deg cambers and through 3 metre deep water. It was a fun ride.
The centre is actually the base for all the departures to the Antartic and is a research centre. It tries to give you a feel for what it would be like to go to the Antartic with a mock of the Scott base camp and you get to experience a real antartic storm with winds up to 120 kmh. Jeez it was cold.....
.... but I had fun.
The centre was very informative and interactive with lots of things to do, but was over all to soon. The centre has also been voted New Zealand's best attraction twice. Personally I think that you don't need to pay for New Zealands best attraction.
