Yes! For visitors travelling to and from Christchurch airport or anyone with excess baggage,&nbsp;there are secure, coin-operated luggage lockers located outside the front of the centre. They come in a variety of sizes to accommodate a huge range of bag sizes. Charges for the lockers are $2.50 for up to 3 hours or $3.50 for up to 5 hours.

Also yes! If you&rsquo;d appreciate a helpful voice to guide you around the Antarctic Centre we have a personalised commentary available on lightweight audio guides.

Audio Guide hire is $10 per unit, and they can be booked with your ticket. These guides are available in English, Mandarin, Japanese, Korean, Thai, German, French and Spanish and a special children&rsquo;s tour is also available.

The great man himself, Sir Edmund Hillary, narrates the English language version. We can&rsquo;t think of a better guide to show you the sights of the Antarctic.&nbsp;

You don&#39;t have to travel all the way to Antarctica to experience the wonder of the region. Discover the beauty and mystery of the arctic right in Christchurch, New Zealand when you visit the International Antarctic Centre at Christchurch Airport.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

This day pass provides access to all features&nbsp;at the&nbsp;International Antarctic Centre. You can ride a&nbsp;H&auml;gglund, an all-terrain amphibious vehicle that&#39;s used to conquer the rough and icy terrain of the arctic and watch a short film about Antarctica&nbsp;in the 4D theatre or the HD theatre. 

&nbsp;

Spend some time feeding and interacting with&nbsp;koror? (little blue penguins), which are the smallest penguins in&nbsp;New Zealand. Then, head to the Husky Cuddle Zone to play with the sled dogs of the arctic.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

You will also get access to the Storm Room, where you can experience firsthand what an average day feels like in the icy arctic.&nbsp;This indoor polar room is chilled to -8&deg;&nbsp;Celsius and gets even chillier when it&#39;s hit by a very realistic&nbsp;-18&deg; Celsius&nbsp;gust of wind that blows every hour via wind machine.&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;

If that sounds too cold for you, don&#39;t worry. You will be provided&nbsp;with warm jackets and overshoes to keep you warm.&nbsp;After the Antarctic Storm, you can also&nbsp;take the &lsquo;Polar Plunge Challenge&rsquo; and experience icy cold Antarctic water, if you dare.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

If you get hungry while you&#39;re there, don&#39;t worry. There is an on-site cafe offering a range of tasty drinks and food items including options suitable for those with dietary requirements. You can also purchase a souvenir in the centre gift shop to remember your visit. (All purchases are at visitors&#39; own expense.)

&nbsp;

The International Antarctic Centre is open daily from 8 am - 5:30 pm.&nbsp;
