Take a team challenge and see VR

Join us after hours for an extra cool Antarctica experience. This winter, the Museum invites students to journey to the icy continent through immersive virtual reality, exhibition exploration and Antarctic mission team-based challenges.

If you’re looking for a stimulating and engaging evening program during your visit to Canberra, this is not to be missed!

NoteThe Antarctica Experience VR is suitable for all audiences, however the virtual reality headset is recommended for users 8 years and older. Specific guidance is provided in the health and safety notice below for young users aged 8 to 13 years. Children under the age of 8 are still welcome to attend a session, but teacher discretion is advised for wearing VR headsets. Not recommended for people with certain medical conditions. Glasses can be worn under the headset, but the focus cannot be adjusted.

Teachers must not wear a headset in order to maintain duty of care during the screening. A 2D version of the film will be available on the theatre screen.

Please read the health and safety notice before you book.
