Climb Aboard a Real Research Vessel for Ship Exploration and Experience the Antarctic World
About this spot
A museum ship preserving an icebreaker that long supported Antarctic research in its original state. The bridge, crew quarters, dining hall, and other spaces are recreated with life-size displays using figures, allowing visitors to experience shipboard life while walking through. Stepping onto the deck offers refreshing harbor breezes, and the massive hull is impressive up close. It's a thrilling ship exploration for children who love vehicles and transportation.
Tips
The ship has many stairs and rope ladders; it's safer to check your stroller at the boarding entrance. A baby carrier makes it easier to navigate with small children. Discount tickets are available as a package with the aquarium.
Best time to visit
Approximately 1 hour required. Early afternoon allows for relatively relaxed viewing.
