The Storm Room is a popular place, and bundling up for 6 minutes with winds of 42 kph/26 MPH and wind chills down to -18C/ -1F will likely be the "been there, done that" moment of the day. But try the 4-D movie, "Ice Voyage." You'll feel like you're there, with the seats bumping and shaking as you "ride" over rough seas and get smacked in the face with water and wind. The first time is a real surprise, especially for the little ones, but delightfully different. This is New Zealand’s best place to visit.
