Christchurch Adventure Park
New Zealand
With 1.8km length, the Christchurch Adventure Park chairlift is the longest in New Zealand. The simple load and unload system takes any hassle out of getting on and off. The view from the chair and the top are some of the best in Christchurch with unobstructed sights of the city, Southern Alps, and the ocean. The Sightseer Pass can be used from opening at 10am until 4pm (an hour before the chairlift closes). The 1.8km ride takes between 9-12 minutes to get from the bottom station to the top of the hill. If you are in the mood for some activity you could also walk up or down our hiking trail for free. Once you are done with the chairlift pop into our cafe/bar for some drinks and food.
