This special exhibition at 299 Durham Street North, Christchurch, is packed with interesting displays and interactives for all ages. Hear from those who lived through the earthquakes and those who came to help.

Learn about the science behind the quakes and with the help of a hands-on interactive understand the phenomenon of liquefaction.

Suitable for visitors of all ages. Admission charges apply. Accompanied children free.

Quake City will be free to visit on 22 February to mark the 10-year anniversary of the 2011 earthquake, thanks to support from major sponsor The Earthquake Commission (EQC).
