The Aquarium was amazing with plenty of information and such a lot to see.
You can wander around and go and have lunch and return to have another look on the same day, for the one admission price.
I did the Sea Turtle tour which was amazing and very informative, a lifelong dream to see the turtles up close, the money you pay for the tour goes to helping the turtles.
I would recommend the Cairns Aquarium, the staff are very friendly

A beautiful experience. Really enjoyed the talks provided by the staff as we progressed through the aquarium, and seeing the divers feeding the residents.
So thankful that the turtle hospital exists and for the wonderful people that provide the care and support.

The turtle hospital tour was shorter than I expected, but interesting. The aquarium has so many creatures to see- don’t miss it.

What a wonderful place to see. This must be on your list if you are visiting Cairns. Aquarium was setup so well and realistic, you feel like you are under water swimming with these amazing sea creatures while enjoying the colorful corals.
The rehabilitation center for Turtles was also very informative and heart warming. We truly enjoyed every minute of our time in this Aquarium.

Fantastic place. Great displays. Well organised and very informative. Loved the deep sea display area. The Shark and Ray tank was excellent. Staff were very good and helpful. Most of the staff seem to be very passionate about their job but the very sweet cheerful young lady with the “ coolest job on the planet” who did the Shark Feeding talk. Great job but please lose the high school classroom tutorial. 20 mins of non stop lecture on how sharks are the most misunderstood animals.
Turtle Hospital . By all means please donate to the wonderful job they are doing but another 20 min tutorial ?
Overall Cairns Aquarium was fantastic

Be sure to buy your ticket online so you can skip the queue and go straight to prebooked line which is empty.
Was so informative and fascinating I needed at least 3hrs. Staff were friendly
The turtle tour is great and your ticket cost is food donations for the sick turtles.

We didn’t plan this visit, but took the local travel agency’s advice to give it a go, we were so glad we did, maybe smaller than GC aquarium but well designed route all indoor with marine/reptile lives only, no unnecessary amusement sets taking kids’ focus away. And the wonderful staff, their fun and informative presentations - my little one just learned that dory is a surgeon fish with sharp scale and venom in the tail LOL and the way they named their sharks - George and Not George LOL. For parents who booked turtle hosp trip, make sure ur LO is old enough to understand the educational slideshow, it is very touching for me though, listening how the local volunteers rescued some amazing turtles and Lord Lou the alpha male turtle went back to his original place with 2 flips only - solute! Also we were lucky to encounter the cuties Santa, elf and reindeer- all in the tank doing scuba diving LOL
