I visited the aquarium with my two sons. They both absolutely loved it. Highly recommend if you are from Cairns or are here on a holiday. Such a memorable experience.
The boys loved our outing to the aquarium. Parking was a breeze. There were a lot of 3 hour free car parking spots within walking distance to the aquarium. The online booking with Experience Oz was so easy and allowed us to skip the long queue upon arrival. I will definitely prebook next time we visit. The aquarium had a lot of interactive exhibits that both boys really enjoyed. The educational presentations were also highly enjoyable. They also loved the hands-on touch tanks! Can’t wait to visit again.
An amazing experience. To be able to get so ‘close’ to all we saw was great...
An excellent experience. We lost count of how many ‘windows’ we looked in on both large and small. The very big aquarium encounters were breathtaking. If we’d been more nimble we’d have crawled through the other spaces too. We took our time but found we could easily walk through in an hour. Thank you!
Fabulous aquarium! Right in the heart of Cairns and an easy walk from mostly everything. Well priced and a great experience.
Fabulous aquarium. Very thorough experience with both wetlands and ocean animals. All our family members had a great time here, we will be coming back again soon and will try the dinner experience next time. And it was very fairly priced. We loved the gift shop too.
