WOW! What a place. Amazing views of all reef life.

This place is fantastic. RECOMMENDED!! Clean and tidy. Friendly staff. We got easy free parking out front. Heard 3 separate presentations by clearly experienced and educated people. Give yourself around 1.5 to 2 hours to leisurely enjoy all on offer.

Fantastic experience, friendly staff, highly recommend

My kids & I had an absolute fantastic time exploring the aquarium & hearing the tour guides. Staff were very informative & friendly. I would highly recommend visiting the Cairns aquarium to friends & family and would like to visit again and take the extra guided tours & see the aquarium at night. 10 out of 10.
