This was a somber visit for me to pay respects for those that lost their lives in 2011. The memorial is absolutely stunning and beautifully laid out, focusing on the name wall for those that lost their lives.

it was a strong memorial for those who passed during the 2011 quake. Just next to a meandering body of water made for an excellent stop to reflect and have a quiet moment to yourself. I thought it was very good urban design and planning to get it done the way it was. really loved the tranquillity.

I cannot begin to explain how the experience made me feel. A flood of emotions and memories of the Earthquake as I walked through. There are some really cool interactive areas for the kids to spark their interests and we could have easily spent the whole day there thanks to the lego table.

I arrived an hour before closing and there were about 10 guests before me just buying tickets. Thankfully not too long a wait still. Staff were very helpful and nice. I recommend 45min-1hr minimum

Simple yet a lovely way to remember those who died from the Earthquakes. The respect given by adding in their preferred names, titles, keeping couples together and the use of their native language was really nice to see

I went to this place during my Social Sciences trip and we learnt about the importance of remembering those who lost their lives during the 2011 earthquakes. It is also a nice and quiet place to rest or chill out

In honourable memory of those that were lost on this very tragic day in history.

The Canterbury Earthquake National Memorial Monument is truly an impressive and peaceful place to visit. A short 10-minute visit is sufficient, but it serves as a poignant space for people to remember and reflect on their losses during the 2011 earthquake. The availability of benches to sit, with a view of the river, makes it an ideal place to find solace and honor loved ones. The serenity and beauty of the surroundings add to the overall experience. It's a place that beautifully encapsulates both remembrance and tranquility.
