The Antarctic Encounter is an experience full of exciting and unique opportunities to explore the wilds of Antarctica - past, present and beyond including the life-sized replica hut of intrepid South Pole explorer Captain Robert Falcon Scott.  Living in this frozen habitat are colonies of King and Gentoo penguins.  Watch them play in real ice and snow, swim and plunge beneath the ice cap - there is no closer encounter to one of these beautiful creatures.

In the Underwater World travel deep beneath the ocean on a moving walkway, experiencing a scuba diver's view as a myriad of marine life surrounds you.  See moray eels, magical seahorses, huge crayfish and some of the world's most poisonous fish and it that is not enough, come face to face with the awesome predators of the deep - sharks.  Visit the $6 milion new exhibition - Stingray Bay - which features a giant 350,000 litre open topped tank constructed of crystal clear acrylic for optimum viewing of these remarkable winged marine creates.
