Attractions for the Whole Family

Cairns attraction tours and wildlife parks have plenty to keep even the most active family members entertained.

Enjoy breakfast with tropical birds, lunch with the lorikeets, zip line over the top of a live giant crocodile, have dinner amongst some of Australia’s most iconic wildlife creatures, cuddle a koala, feed a kangaroo, pat a python, or be mesmerised by a stunning illusionist show. In Tropical North Queensland your family attraction options are boundless.

The Cairns Esplanade is a 2-kilometre hub of activity from dawn to dusk for both locals and tourists alike. The Esplanade is home to Muddy’s and the Cairns Lagoon. Muddy’s provides a fun and interactive water park aimed at children, although parents are often found splashing around too! The Cairns Lagoon is a 4-hectare area that houses an idyllic infinity-style swimming area. The Lagoon is open daily from 6 am till 10 pm and is a very popular spot to soak up the Tropical North sunshine and enjoy a refreshing and cooling dip in the crystal clear waters.

Take a tour or rent a car to visit World Heritage-listed rainforests with great walking treks and freshwater rivers that you can take a leisurely swim or an exciting rafting trip down.
