Christchurch Art Gallery |  Christchurch Art Gallery
Daily
When opened on 10 May 2003, the Christchurch Art Gallery or Te Puna o Waiwhetu became home to one of New Zealand's most important public art collections of British and European paintings. Its Maori name honours the well on the gallery's site, which flows into the city's Avon River, with Waiwhetu also meaning "water in which stars are reflected." The Gallery's striking modern architecture was designed by the Buchan Group after an international competition. |
Christchurch Gondola |  Christchurch Gondola
Daily
Ride high above Christchurch for spectacular views across Lyttleton Harbour, the city itself and then west across to the mighty Southern Alps as you ascend in the Christchurch Gondola. From its base south of the city, the four-person gondolas rise slowly to 450 metres above sea level, to the rim of the extinct volcano. You can also explore the Heritage Time Tunnel, do nature works or just sit in the restaurant and eat while admiring the great views. |
Christchurch Botanic Gardens |  Christchurch Botanic Gardens
Daily
Just 13 years after the official British settlement of Christchurch in 1850 an English oak tree was planted there (9 July 1863) in honour of the Prince Albert Edward's marriage to Danish Princess Alexandra. Thus Christchurch's Botanic Gardens were inaugurated and since 1946 have been in the care of Christchurch City Council. Encompassing an area of 30 hectares (74 acres), mostly bordered by a loop of the Avon River, the once wetland area has been transformed into one of New Zealand's finest collections of exotic and indigenous plants, with towering trees well over a century old and welcoming lawns. An ideal place to recharge the batteries. |
International Antarctic Centre |  International Antarctic Centre
Daily
Reflecting a century of Antarctic exploration that has passed through Christchurch (Scott on both Discovery and Terra Nova in 1901 and 1910, Shackleton on Nimrod in 1907 and, from 1955, the USA's Operation Deep Freeze flights), Christchurch International Airport Limited's International Antarctic Centre opened on 28 September 1900. Allowing visitors to experience the snowy wastes at the bottom of the world even though they are still well over 1000 miles away in the Antarctic Attraction, visitors can also take a ride on a the Huggland Antarctic all-terrain amphibian craft. |
