The Antarctic Centre near the airport is a fascinating trip. NZ manages Scott Base in Antarctica and you will learn all about the continent in a fun (and cold) way.

This is an interesting tale of the Church deciding to demolish their building that was severely damaged and the city residents demanding it be fixed ....
The Anglican Church decided to demolish the building and replace it with a new structure, but various groups opposed the church's intentions, with actions including taking a case to court.
In the meantime a Cardboard Cathedral was built on the edge of Latimer Square and is well worth a visit. https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2014/sep/17/temporary-cardboard-cathedral-ruin

The area alongside the Avon River was badly damaged in many areas of the City. Currently it is classed as a redzone. Houses were demolished. People were moved away and it is a "waste zone" in many areas. It is interesting to walk along the river walk and learn a bit more about the affect the earthquake had on the people that used to live there.

Explore the new City
After the earthquake, Christchurch city was very badly damaged. The whole city centre was cordoned off and deemed unsafe.
Over the years, many of the buildings were bought down and the city was largely rebuilt. However, wandering around, you will still see a lot of signs of broken and damaged buildings that are yet to be pulled down and the site rebuilt on.
Take the time to explore the Christchurch of new. https://www.christchurchtop10.co.nz/blog/whats-new-christchurch-rebuild
