A bit underwhelming, cafe closed , staff had no idea if wifi was available, or knew the wifi to check, still nice though , probably for very young kids who are easily pleased
Great fun feeding fish. Friendly and helpful staff, who happily share their knowledge
Brilliant day - was very educational as well as totally epic!
Very informative and enjoyable session. Children loved the Rock cod and bat fish. The water was lovely and warm and so many fish,
Great tourist activity at low cost. Hands on feeding fish. Recommend holding fish above water for the Barra to grab it. Quick grab All ages to do walk in water with the fish great experience. Milk fish, bat fish, Barra, cat fish, trevally and mullet just some you can see.
One of the best things to do in Darwin!! A must do! Staff all very friendly and professional. Super knowledgeable!
Overrated, quite an odd experience, perhaps fun if you’ve never been close to fish before but otherwise really not great, the occasional interesting fish, save you money if you’re a family
Amazing experience Staff really knew the fish that came up to bed fed and made the whole experience very memorable for my whole family Would totally recommend this
Unfortunately the water was super dirty and we couldn't see anything. The staff were super friendly and great, but overall pretty disappointing
Place needs a coat of paint and an upgrade ramp is a safety issue needs a surface grip layer seating is still the same workers need to learn more about the history of the area only stayed 45mins bit disappointed
