3 Best Places To Visit in Cairns QLD

An amazing experience you feel like your almost flying about the trees and the rain forest in the cable cars - with 2 stops along the way as you change cars to continue your journey - with amazing views all round along the way - a must do adventure then in Cairns we had such a lovely day out.

Amazing and spectacular experience. To see the rainforest from up high is breathtaking. Being able to also see the town and reef in the distance really leaves a memorable imprint. I give it a 10/10. Well worth giving it a go.

Loved it. We got the Diamond cart (glass bottom), but definitely not worth $60 each way. Friendly staff and knowledgeable.

The gardens were beautiful, worth the look. The plants, trees and vines are absolutely amazing. There wasn’t as many flowering species as I was expecting but I still had a great time. The paths were all well maintained and fun to adventure in. The wheelchair and pram accessibility was fantastic. The conservatory was beautiful and I really appreciate the work that staff must put in regularly. I also saw a bloke roll down a hill really fast and it was very funny. Parking isn’t too bad but if you see a spot just grab it, it’s kind of odd street strip parking and if you don’t grab a spot early it’s hard to turn around later.

Our visit to the botanical garden was a delightful experience. The garden was filled with a diverse collection of tropical plants, all meticulously maintained and thriving. I was particularly impressed by the abundance of ferns, bromeliads, and orchids throughout the garden. Their vibrant colors and intricate patterns added a mesmerizing touch to the surroundings. Walking through the garden was like exploring a tropical paradise, with each turn revealing new and fascinating plant species. Whether you're a nature enthusiast or simply seeking a tranquil escape, the botanical garden is definitely worth a visit.

The children's park here is one of the best playgrounds we have ever visited. The imaginative play is endless. Its all natural and allows for hours of fully immersed play. We saw a bit (less than planned due to long playing) of the rest of the gardens. Beautiful. Plan your 'down day' here for some time for the kids to kids.

We had SUCH a great time here! We only had a couple of hours but you could really spend the whole of the opening hours here as there’s so much to see and read about (and take loads of pictures). We were so impressed with the whole set up (super initiative and fun). We made two of the talks today, both by Cameron who was amazing. He was super engaging, really knowledgable and just a lovely guy. Would love to come back soon but sadly we are not local. Thanks a lot.

Great 2-3hrs. Much larger than I thought. Only 6 years old. Features local marine life from Northern Queensland. You journey through from the rivers and streams, down to the coast and out on the reef. Well worth the visit.

A great place for both kids and adults to enjoy. The setting is beautiful, and the aquariums are impressive with a good variety of species. They also offer informative shows, but these are scheduled in advance, so you'll need to plan ahead or check the schedule when you arrive.
