Definitely worth visiting

Published on Jan, 2025

The exhibits are well presented and there is a good flow through the various areas. We didn’t expect to spend 2.5 hr there but we did. Thoroughly enjoyed it, MUCH better than we had anticipated.

Great day out

Loved the whole experience. The exhibits were amazing, all the animals looked so well cared for and the staff were lovely. All so passionate about the animals in their care and very knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend for a day in Cairns that is out of the heat

Great experience

Published on Jan, 2025

I took my teen granddaughter to the aquarium waiting for our flight on our last day. We absolutely loved the experience. The facilities are very good. Information was all there and the displays were amazing. The turtle hospital was inspiring. We loved every minute of it. We spent four hours there and had lunch in the cafe where we sat and watched the fabulous fish swim by.

Not to be missed

Published on Nov, 2024

Wonderful place. The tanks were clean, and the animals looked healthy. There was a good amount of seating for the larger tanks. Good signage and information panels. We paid to do the turtle hospital and it was 100% better than the fitzroy island. It looked cleaner, the people were knowledgeable, and the whole experience was pleasant.
