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.

- MickyRingshawRosetown, Australia42 contributionsThis place was great, the smaller upper ponds were better than the congested larger pond down the bottom.

- ClareHuskisson, Australia1 contributionAbsolutely amazing, It exceeded my expectations by miles.
The information was vast, and the understanding I've come away with is imesarable. A respect for what our allied health professionals do through the RFFA and the bombing of Darwin.Written 22 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

This very methodically laid out area had almost all the amenities we needed as travellers. From the city the waterfront was accessible easily on an elevated pedestrian walkway which was well protected by a roof so that one would not get drenched during bad weather conditions. Access was well illuminated in the night with an elevator to get to the ground level. There were some beautiful sculptures of "Jipijonton" or "Jabiru" birds, paintings and real palms decorating this area which was connected to the dining and shopping precinct of the waterfront. Well surfaced pathways meandering through the area led us across the park area to the Wave Lagoon, Recreational Lagoon and the Darwin convention centre. The convention centre was an attractive building which was elegantly lit up with hues of blue in the night. Wave Lagoon was very popular with tourists and in a warm day the pool was a great comforter that was filled with fun. Adjoining the Lagoon were several breakwater piers creating some calmer water basins where we observed an Aquapark with sports activity being offered. In the same neighbourhood there were jet ski or water scooters, tour boats and the Stokes Hill wharf where we were able to enjoy the harbour views, watch sailing ships, boats and birds with dining facilities. The Jetty was also in the same surroundings. The entire area was very picturesque and methodically put to good use.Written 3 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Capt_FunkeliciousSydney, Australia617 contributionsi've been to my share of markets, and these were pretty good. we got there right on sunset and it was absolutely stunning. the markets were predominantly food-driven, but there were enough stalls to be interesting. and quite a few of those stalls were offering items specific to the northern territory, so it felt genuine in that way. it was very well-serviced with cabs at one end to whisk you away when the time was right.Written 11 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jess_SPSouth Australia, Australia118 contributionsSpent a few hours here on our travels.
Kids had an absolute ball.
Has plenty of shade and trees around to sit under.
No toilets within the wave pool area.
Closest ones were near the kiosk or in the park.
Didn’t take away from the fun had.Written 26 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Big thanks to Owen for indulging me a trip down memory lane in her nonetheless. Have been here many times, but still find something new to look at every time.Written 25 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- C_and_J_LewisSydney, Australia503 contributionsDefinitely worth a visit. The crocodile feeding session provides amazing information about these ancient and resilient creatures. The Park is a research centre which offers opportunities to handle small crocodiles, snakes and pat wallabies (kids love it). They have a range of crocodiles from small to huge!!
We really enjoyed the Park and would definitely recommend it to friends. Good range of animals - lions, meerkats, ostriches, monkeys, capybaras and lots more. They have a cruise (we did not do this so can't comment -extra $18pp in 2024).
It is $44 per adult to enter (2024), but worth it if you listen to the information at the displays. If you have kids, definitely go.Written 15 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Outside is a variety of tanks, guns, bunkers and various displays, and inside is a collection of uniforms, medals, informative video and information. Small cafe that’s very well priced for drinks and snacks.Written 6 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- paradisevalley l15 contributionsVery interesting museum showing the darwin bombing by the Japanese. A great 15 minute movie to experience what happened.. Also has an extensive coverage of the Jewish holocaust.
Only drawback is the cafe- a machine that makes awful coffee and sub standard food.Written 23 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Still a bit crowded but more manageable ( eg queues not as bad). Nice Vietnamese iced coffee, good food options. Would def go again.

- Travel&DiveBan Pong, Thailand1,793 contributionsYou can pre purchase tickets online or just turn up and pay on the door, I would suggest getting there early as the fish get full with food and with quite a few guests even on weekdays, if you turn up later the fish may not be so active in looking for food.
Inside there are steps and a slope to feed the fish from, good information given about the fish that are about. A small cafe serving soft drinks and coffees, maybe food too? An iced coffee with a scoop of ice cream is around $8.
Around there is also a children's play area if your kids get bored of feeding the fish. Plenty of fish to feed and watch, certainly an interesting little place and nice to go and see if your in this area...Written 2 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
