Few are fortunate enough to travel to Antarctica. Even fewer experience what it is like to live there.
That's all about to change.

After a sell-out season at the WA Maritime Museum and at the National Museum of Australia, The Antarctica Experience - Virtual Reality Adventure is coming to the Goldfields!

This is your chance to experience a day in the life of Antarctic scientists as they research this mysterious continent.

You will see first-hand the work that goes into understanding climate change, managing eco-systems, researching sustainability, and conserving wildlife.

Along the way you will:

• Explore Antarctica from a helicopter cockpit, even landing on glaciers.
• Jump in a zodiac to 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.

With 360-degree camera control and stunning 4K, high-resolution vision, we welcome you to your immersive Antarctic Experience.
