New Zealand - South Island

The "Snow and Ice Experience" room is kept at a constant -5 degrees Celcius, containing snow and even an ice slide. Every 30 minutes, a large fan kicks on to simulate 25 mph winds and -18 Celcius windchill. They provide "parkas" and rubber boots to protect the visitors. While we were in there, some tourists from Australia were visiting...wearing shorts!
