Time your visit to Aquascene for high tide when hundreds of fish approach the shore to be fed by curious onlookers. You get to hand-feed the fish while dangling your feet in the water. Though some of the bigger fish sometimes nibble on your toes, not even the scariest-looking ones ever bite hard. The site is known for its friendly atmosphere and helpful staff. You can mingle with visitors from around the world, all enjoying this rare close-up experience with Australia's underwater world. When planning your visit, remember that feeding times are dependent on the tide, so be sure to check the website or call ahead for the schedule.

  時間を忘れて魚に餌やりが出来ます。お腹を好かせた魚たちが餌に群がる様は迫力があり意外と楽しめます。ワイワイしながらゆっくり楽しい時間が過ごせます。  more »

  You can forget the time and feed the fish. The fish that liked the stomach are crowded in the bait is powerful and you can enjoy unexpectedly. You can spend a good time slowly while you are waiwai.

  The kids had a ball feeding all of the different sorts of fish under the guidance of the local feeding lady. This was an unusual activity that bought many laughs. Was reasonable cost and a lot of fun!  more »

  A fun and affordable attraction on the heart of the city. Just watch for the weather before you go: if the water is too rough you will barely be able to see or touch the fish. Also, watch out for jellyfish.

  Great location to bring the kids to interact with fish. Opening times depend on Darwin's large tides, perhaps check social media for more accurate times rather than Google as it will change. Prices were kinda steep for what it was but still a morning out.
