Enjoying the Cairns Aquarium
best way
Spend a special day at Cairns Aquarium with marine life encounters! An expert aquarium guide will take you behind the scenes and show you how the aquarium cares for its marine life.
You can also visit the turtle hospital to meet sick or injured sea turtles, learn how to care for and rehabilitate them, and hand-feed cute stingrays, among other experiences. Admission to the Cairns Aquarium is included in the marine life encounter experience, so why not take a tour of the aquarium before or after the experience?
