Cairns Aquarium: Night Entry + 2-Course Dinner

About this experience

Cairns Aquarium Night Entry Tickets This ticket is admission to Cairns Aquarium for an exclusive after-hours evening experience, combining guided access through the aquarium's 10 tropical ecosystems with a two-course dinner at Dundee's restaurant. The aquarium's resident marine and rainforest species are housed on site, and the evening is led by an expert guide who takes guests through each habitat in turn. The guided walk begins as corals start to glow and nocturnal species emerge from their daytime hiding spots. Reef fish settle for the night whilst night hunters become active across different environments. Throughout the tour, the guide explains the behavioural changes on display and answers questions as the group moves through the aquarium's carefully designed habitats. The evening concludes with dinner at Dundee's, where guests enjoy local cuisine whilst watching the aquarium's marine life through the restaurant's large underwater viewing windows. The calm atmosphere and unique setting make this a fine choice for couples or families looking to see Cairns' marine world from a different perspective.
