The Cairns Aquarium is the newest and most regional aquarium in Australia and has won two awards in the tourism industry. It is the only ecological exhibition hall in the world that brings together the essence of the world's two natural heritages, the Great Barrier Reef and the Rainforest. The museum is divided into 10 North Queensland ecosystems and 71 habitats, and you can enjoy more than 15,000 North Queensland features in the fully air-conditioned environment, including many rare conservation species. The aquarium is open year-round and includes daily regular, point-by-point explanations and a show to feed salmon and sharks; there are also packages for lunch and dinner to enjoy a unique five-star dining environment in Cairns. The aquarium is located in the center of Cairns, a 5-minute walk from the promenade, next to major hotels in the city, and is easily accessible.
