The basics

While watching the various Aussie critters wander through the indoor forest makes for a memorable visit, it’s the Cairns Zoom that gets visitors’ adrenaline pumping. The Zoom’s 60-plus experiences include high-flying ziplines that cruise over crocodile-filled waters, tunnels, cargo nets, and the power jump, a 43-foot (13 -meter) free fall from a tower. The Dome Climb experience lets you walk outside the roof of the dome for sweeping 360-degree views of Cairns and the ocean. Guides offer plenty of educational information and wildlife shows entertain, especially those involving hand-tamed birds and cute koalas.
