Cairns Aquarium, Cairns

Beautiful aquarium, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Definitely worth visiting for a close up experience with the fresh and saltwater life. I really enjoyed the layout of the aquarium that started inland through the fresh water rivers and made its way out to the deep ocean. The aquarium encouraged everyone to take the time to connect with the aquatic life and think about the conservation of our waterways and oceans. Even in the touch pools the aquatic life is rotated to ensure that the creatures do not get over stressed from too much interaction. Highly recommended stop in Cairns, well priced and enjoyable for any age.

A truly magical experience in Cairns. Myself and my family were blown away by the amazing displays here. The cleanliness of the aquarium and the clarity of the displays is what sets this one apart from others. When we purchased tickets we were told that they do things differently from other aquariums located down south, and they weren't wrong! Such a variety of animals and educational information available including plenty of fun and interactive experiences for kids.
