Some of Christchurch's most popular attractions lie around the outskirts of the city. To the southeast, the Christchurch Gondola takes passengers from a terminal in the Heathcote Valley to the top of an extinct volcano, at the top of the Port Hills. Just beyond the airport at Harewood can be found Orana Wildlife Park, New Zealand's only open-range zoo, while the nearby International Antarctic Centre showcases the frozen continent. The national museum for the Royal New Zealand Air Force can be found at Wigram.
