The aquarium links the region’s different ecosystems in one place, making it a good orientation stop before field trips. Look for the reef and freshwater sections to compare animals you might otherwise see only on separate excursions. Allow enough time to move through the exhibits and check the daily programme if talks or feeding sessions matter to you.
What to look for
Reef displays show animals from tropical North Queensland waters.
