    • This museum was located a little out of town. We took a bus I think to get there. It was like an old transport and technology museum. We got a glimpse of what colonial Christchurch may have been like.

    • Christchurch City Center
  • Cathedral Square

    • Besides being the home of the Christchurch Cathedral (see main pic!), Cathedral Square is the pumping heart of the largest city in the South Island of New Zealand. There is a large chess set that you can enjoy, food stalls, shops, acts like the Wizard and even open air concerts are held here. This is where I came on New Years Eve to celebrate.

    • Christchurch International Antarctic Centre
  • Yellow-Eyed Penguin

    • I went to the Antarctic Centre a long time ago now on my first trip to Christchurch. I remember thinking it was a pretty neat place, especially if you have kids travelling with you. The displays are interesting and of course the penguins are cute!

    The cheapest admission ticket is $20 for an adult and $10 for children over 5 but a super combo ticket will cost you $50 and $30 respectively.
