The simulator is extremely jerky and the doors make a lot of noise but on the other hand the animal exhibits are excellent - Jack Ainslie

The ride is hardly perfect and makes you feel slightly weezy but afterwards when your "at the Arctic" is pretty cool. I feel sorry for the animals in such small spaces in it though! 7/10 - D H

good but not as good as harry potter and the forbidin journy or spider man - Manny Rodriguez

The screen wasn't working when we rode it. Still, the animal exhibits made it worth it. I'd skip the ride next time and go straight to the exhibits. - Terry R

This is a weak, uncomfortable, jerky simulator joined to a world class animal exhibit. Skip the ride and go straight to the belugas, walruses, and polar bears if you get just a little naseous or if you're spoiled by better simulators. - David Garey

This is a good simple simulator ride, but it badly needs a refirb as the doors rattle and make a hell of alot of noise. Other than that, its great! - Samantha McCrae
