Sehr interessanter und unterhaltsamer Vormittag

Das Antartic Center war wirklich interessant - und unterhaltsam. Wir hatten viel Spaß dabei, den kleinen Sturm im Storm Dome mitzumachen, die Pinguine bei der Fütterung zu beobachten, mit dem Hägglund über den kleinen Parkour hinter dem Center zu fahren und die gut platzierten Effekte im 4D Kino zu erleben.
