Te Papa National Museum

posted by fbaird on 12 August 2010 at 14:51

This is a really informative museum. Its great to see such a good display of Maori art as well as the 'Awesome Forces' section which demonstrates how natural disasters occur. There is also a simulation of an earthquake shaking a house which is very well done.

Punting on the Avon

posted by gwylie on 12 August 2010 at 14:42

Go for a punt on the Avon, it's a lovely relaxing experience. I suppose it's a bit steep at $20 for half an hour but really romantic nonetheless.

Antarctic Centre

posted by ppritchard on 12 August 2010 at 14:34

The Christchurch Antarctic centre is as close as you're likely to get to the south pole without actually going there. There are lots of exhibits about conditions there as well as encounters of the explorers' missions. You can also experience a snow storm at 20 degrees below zero!

The botanical gardens are really beautiful and have a lovely array of different species of flowers and plants. There are also some nice sculptures and fountains in the grounds as well as a coffee shop and some food vendors- a great place for a leisurely afternoon's stroll.
