Glorious find! Very informative of how Queenstown was formed, AI video dating back 15mil years until present day. The seats vibrate and it's captivating as intertwined with Maori legends. Ending with action packed activities you can do and you view the experience as if doing it yourself (first person POV) - exceptional value! (Screens come down and cover the under water viewing windows).

Time Tripper is a short but memorable experience right in the heart of Queenstown. You purchase your ticket upstairs, then head down at your scheduled time to a cozy mini-theater located underwater!

However, we would have really liked a fish identification chart so we could know what we we...

The very friendly Emma sorted myself and two kids out with a Time Tripper visit. We were down at the foreshore quite early and were the only ones in the room for the viewing. The interactive movie was entertaining and done well. The Maori story was engaging. When the movie was done the screens raised and 100s of large fish, eels and ducks were there in their natural habitat for us to view. A nice ...
