Rutherford's Den, 2 Worcester Boulevard, Christchurch 8013 New Zealand

Einstein described Ernest Rutherford as a "second Newton" who "tunneled into the very material of God". This was a tribute to Rutherford's foundational discoveries about the atom's structure, particularly his model of a dense, central nucleus, which is considered one of the most significant and practical insights in the history of physics.

Here we'll see the actual den in which Rutherford conducted his first experiments that was the beginning of nuclear science.

We operate twice daily 1.75 – 2.0 hour walking tours taking you through the heart of Christchurch, with plenty of stops along the way. Together, we’ll explore the city’s fascinating mix of geological and human history, from the stories of Ngāi Tahu Māori to the early English settlers who helped shape Canterbury. We begin our journey below the iconic Bridge of Remembrance, Cashel Street, Christchurch Central City, Christchurch 8011 - right on the corner of Oxford Terrace and Cashel Street (see on Google Maps). Look out for your guide holding a purple umbrella ☂️ – that’s where your adventure starts. We’ll also reflect on the profound impact of the 2010/2011 earthquakes, sharing stories of devastation but also of resilience and creativity. Alongside the reminders of loss, you’ll see inspiring examples of recovery, innovation, and the ongoing opportunities that continue to transform the city.
