If you love penguins, you have to visit. The penguin exhibit is incredible, I have never seen anything like this before.

I really enjoyed our visit to the Antarctic Encounter. All of the animal life was fantastic! In particular the penguin habitat was really impressive, you can view very closely the penguins and their newborn chicks, and riding in the snowcat was a lot of fun. The historical photographs and films of early Antarctic expeditions were also very interesting. It was worth checking out as part of our trip to New Zealand.

The place is not big and cold enough to be called an Antarctic encounter.
