Antarctica VR: a cool opportunity

Booking an Antarctica program with us? Why not extend your visit and see our incredible Antarctica VR film.

Transport yourself to a world of ice and snow through the wonder of VR, and explore a day in the life of Australian Antarctic scientists as they research Antarctica from Davis Research Station.

With 360-degree camera control and stunning 4K, high-resolution vision, The Antarctica Experience shows you first-hand the work that goes into understanding climate change, managing ecosystems, researching sustainability and conserving wildlife.

Along the way you’ll:

• explore Antarctica from a helicopter cockpit, even landing on glaciers
• discover the resident penguin colony and see the new chicks
• explore Davis Station and logistics that go into surviving the harsh Antarctic conditions
• view the spectacular Southern Lights in high definition.

This is Antarctica as you’ve never seen it before – it’s the next best thing to visiting the frozen continent.

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.
