The Sir Edmund Hillary Alpine Centre
Discover the history of this iconic region. A tribute to
Sir Edmund Hillary, humanitarian, ambassador and one of the world's
greatest explorers, the centre showcases the Aoraki Mount Cook
region, its people and its place in the universe.
The Sir Edmund Hillary Alpine Centre's 126-seat custom-designed
theatre is the world's only theatre with 2D, 3D and a Digital Dome
Planetarium, contained within the same space. Cutting edge
technology allows the 2D screen to raise up for storage while the
3D screen is in use and the Digital Dome Planetarium to lower into
place when required.
In the foyer of the theatre you'll find our museum showcasing
the history of the Mount Cook region through transport, climbing,
The Hermitage Hotel and pioneer extraordinaire, Sir Edmund Hillary
himself.
