Five reasons why Cairns is your ideal family holiday destination 6 Aug 2015
Cairns, a major city in Australia’s Queensland state, is the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef, to an amazing rainforest and loads of unique creatures that will give your family truly a holiday of a lifetime. There are also city attractions that will give you and the kids plenty to do. Make the most of your trip with these family-friendly ideas. 1. Meet some crocodiles (and other creatures) Explore wildlife in nature parks and rainforests close to the city at venues such as Hartley’s Crocodile Adventures, Cairns Wildlife Dome and the Great Barrier Reef. Hartley’s Crocodile Adventures is 40 minutes north of Cairns and the best place to see crocodiles and local wildlife up close. Just over two kilometres of timber boardwalks and paths lead visitors through woodlands and rainforest filled with beautiful tropical birds and other native fauna. Enjoy its entertaining and educational wildlife presentations including cassowaries, koalas, quolls and much more. Join its guided lagoon tours allowing visitors to see the crocodiles in their natural habitat. Cairns Wildlife Dome is a wholly interactive environment where you can get close to animals in an all-weather setting. Learn about Australia’s fauna and see native birds, turtles, gliders, reptiles and freshwater crocodiles. You can get your thrills with the ZOOM experience – a rope course that includes crossings and zip-lines taking participants directly over of a four-metre saltwater crocodile. It is the world’s first Challenge Ropes Course within a wildlife exhibit!
