Events of this day has left a significant impression on community of Christchurch. This museum shows how the event that day, had brought the community together and how Christchurch has grown since then. Personal stories are shared. While nothing compares to actually living through such an event, Quake City does portray this history with care and compassion. Worth a visit if you don't understand much about earthquakes, or wish to learn more about events that day.

Informative, kind and friendly staff. Worth visiting when in Chch to understand what the city went through. Young children may not find it that captivating but it’s a relatively quick visit.

If you visit chch this place is a must, with all its pictures and videos it certainly gives you a insight to what occurred on that day.. To listen to some of the survivors tell their stories was heartbreaking 💔 😢 .

Great experience and education from the earthquake. Very interactive for the kids. But it's something you will do once in 5 years

A powerful place to sit and feel all the emotions. A wall decorated with names of all those lost. Very beautiful!! The bathrooms were super clean too!! This place is a must see!! A beautiful and peaceful tribute, often adorned with photos and flowers. This is a neat little place to visit and see. They offer a video to hear what happened here and that is very interesting, but to see the area and the destruction that happened from this earthquake is pretty neat to see.😍 This memorial and the history of the area was quite enlightening. The park service has done an excellent job of creating an educational experience for all that choose to stop along the way. 😊 This is a beautiful area and the sights of the grandeur of nature are worth the stop along the way. An absolute hidden gem, created by the dark history of an earthquake that took several lives . To understand the beauty of the city , first you have to understand the devastation that created it!!Take some time to visit and get a map, and go see all the marked areas. It's a somber reminder of how things can be changed in an instant. ✅

Emotional place to visit. Thought it would be more interactive for our 10 year old. A lot of history and need heaps of time to sit and reflect.

Very informative museum with lots of videos of knowledge and people’s experiences. The videos are quite long so be prepared to be sat for a bit.
