A bit pricey at $50 each (we had 10% off) but overall a good experience. I didn’t mind paying a bit extra when we found out that they actively work to improve the environment and care for wildlife. It was great to learn so much about wildlife and the local tropical north environment/ecosystems. I would recommend if in Cairns

Incredible presentations! We were able to catch all of the shows on our visit and each presenter was so knowledgeable and engaging. I loved how they have a focus on conservation and touch on really important threats to our local habitats. We also booked onto the turtle hospital tour to support sea turtles. Special shout out to Brett who did our tour he was absolutely fantastic and so passionate. And a special shout out to Christine, who did talk about the Great Barrier Reef, it was so inspirational, and I will only be using reef safe sunscreen from now on! We took so much away from this visit, such a beautiful facility, but the educational value at this facility is second to none. Best public presenters we’ve ever seen. Great job Cairns Aquarium!

I enjoyed this aquarium.
I felt Cairns.
There is a touch pool and the Aqua Tunnel is an amazing space.

We visited the Aquarium whilst on holidays and enjoyed every minute. It was quite spectacular and extremely educational. Would recommend a visit.

"While in Cairns, we decided to visit the aquarium based on a recommendation, and it was fantastic! It was very educational, and we learned a lot about Australia and the surrounding area. We weren't disappointed at all. It made for a wonderful day."

The staff at the aquarium and check in desk are very friendly and helpful! The staff doing the talks/tours are very knowledgeable and have great talks that are engaging for all age groups. There are plenty of animals to see at this place. I would suggest doing a Great Barrier Reef tour after the aquarium. This is because I went to the Great Barrier Reef before the aquarium and found the aquarium to be underwhelming compared to the reef.
Overall the aquarium is a great place, the staff are defiantly 5 stars. A 4 star was given as no aquarium can match the real life experience. Would be a good place to take kids or people who are not suited to snorkelling in the reef. Also the aquarium has other reptiles and amphibians that you can see.

The experience was awesome! The presentation was great and informative. All the guilds there were very knowledgeable and helpful. The aquarium was much bigger than we expected. And the kids had fun there.

Went here with my 11 year old daughter who loved it. The theme is rainforest to ocean and there are displays that take you through each of the various eco systems. Very clean and welcoming place, with some free talks and interactive pools. We spent about 2 hours there.

This really is a fabulous day of entertainment in Cairns. I can see why it is rated so highly as a desired activity or location to visit when in Cairns.
The aquarium is set up so beautifully, it is absolutely fabulous. The respect shown to the animals, and the cleanliness and size of the tanks is fabulous. You can tell they really care about their animals here.
This is a very interactive experience. It is loads of fun for all ages, and is easily accessible with lifts as well as escalators. There are toilets throughout, as well as an on-site shop and restaurant.
I cannot recommend this attraction more highly. The staff were brilliant and so far this has been our favourite activity in Cairns.
Do yourself a favour and visit when you are in Cairns!
