Booking an Antarctica program with us? Why not extend your visit and see our incredible Antarctica virtual reality experience.
Tour Antarctica from a helicopter cockpit, land on glaciers and discover a penguin colony, complete with chicks. Learn about daily life in these harsh conditions and marvel at the spectacular southern lights.
In stunning high-resolution vision, you’ll see the work that goes into understanding climate change, managing ecosystems, researching sustainability and conserving wildlife.
Note: The 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.
