About
Aquascene is a popular fish feeding sanctuary in the heart of Darwin. Visit the fish at high tide when hundreds of friendly local wild fish swim to the shallow shoreline in search of a gratuitous meal of fresh bread. Over the course of this enduring 70 plus year tradition, the fish have shed their normal shyness and are willingly hand-fed to the delight of thousands of fascinated locals and tourists every year.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Plenty of fish, fun feeding experience for most. The staff were horrible and rude. I was approached by other paying guests who asked if I was ok after being spoken to rudely by the long dark haired lady, the other guests were equally as mortified as I was that I was spoken to in such a way, all because I asked twice where we needed to sit. It is terribly disorganised and two seperate children fell in during the time we were there.

Remember to read the signs. Great opportunities for photos and videos, We took so many. The fish get into a frenzy while feeding. Youngsters that were their were really getting excited. This site is tidal dependent so check the viewing times on Aquascene.

Was an interesting experience. Lots of fish to feed with an ongoing commentary. Plenty of food was supplied to feed the fish. Would recommend doing this.

Visited Aquascene for quick fish feeding and ended up staying for an hour and a half. We had lots of fun and the talk throughout was informative.

I love this activity and have watched it grow over the last 25years or so , over many trips to Darwin. This activity is one I always recommend to everyone travelling to Darwin. It’s a family friendly activity , suits most weather conditions and with the commentary it is easy to about what you are seeing also

I was excited as my family loves animals but didn’t expect to sit and feed fish for 2.5 hours. We loved every minute of it. We saw so many species. The bat fish were a favourite. Feeding them with our toes was fun. A must do for all ages.

Fab experience, great value for money. The kids could have spent all day feeding the fish. It would be awesome to have some underwater cameras to be able to see all the action below the water too, but honestly very entertained

Brilliant fun! Ours kids (1 & 4 years old) had a great time feeding the fish and then playing on the little playground they have. Adults enjoyed it too and the staff were very knowledgeable

Do you need to arrive at the start of the feeding time or can you go say one hour in? For example if time are 4-6pm can you arrive at 5pm?

You can arrive at any time. Don't have to be at the beginning. The fish are wild and come and go as they wish.

Do you have to take your own bread to feed the fish or can you get some there?
