Cairns Aquarium
Cairns’ newest attraction Cairns Aquarium offers an amazing opportunity to experience the reef and marine life right in the CBD. No matter how unpredictable the weather is in the tropics, Cairns Aquarium is open every day of the week. It has proven to be popular attraction with over 2000 people walking through the doors on the opening day so it is definitely worth to pre-book your ticket to avoid queues at the door.
Children Will Have a Blast
Children love the Cairns Aquarium as there are many interactive experiences such as turtle tunnel, tide pool and touch tank- they will learn so much about the Great Barrier Reef and its inhabitants. There is even a special tank for all the fluorescent marine creatures; it looks like hundreds of Christmas lights have been submerged in the water!
Find Out About Different Ecosystems Importance to the Reef
The Aquarium is divided into different ecosystems and there is a comprehensive gallery about each and every one of them. Expositions start with the river systems, creeks and streams, waterways and billabongs, tropical rainforest and even the forest floor and it is shown how all the previous is connected to the Great Barrier reef.
You will find out about the life in mangroves- who is Mangrove Jack and where the Estuarine Crocodile is hiding. Great Barrier Reef exposition is sure to impress with small and colourful and big and menacing marine creatures. Stingrays, sharks and sawfish are just a few to leave you awestruck.
Learn About the Dangers of the Great Barrier Reef
Perhaps you have a Great Barrier Reef tour planned and you would like to find out about the dangers of the reef before you go?
Don’t worry, there really isn’t that much to be scared of, especially after you learn the simple ways how to protect yourself from the jellyfish.
Find out what shark species you may encounter while snorkelling on the Great Barrier Reef and how to make an escape when you have angered the Triggerfish.
Finish Your Day at Dundee's Restaurant
Cairns Aquarium has a great on-site restaurant where you can grab a coffee and a cake or more substantial meal.
And the best thing about it- you can still admire fish though the glass while enjoying your meal in the Cairns Aquarium.
