Hello! We are Cairns Zoom & Wildlife Dome
About

The Cairns ZOOM is the world's first ever Challenge Ropes Course within a wildlife immersion exhibit (an environment where birds and most of the animals can roam free within the confines of the large aviary enclosure, allowing interaction between humans, animals, and the environment). The Cairns ZOOM further enhances the interaction between humans and birds by allowing this to occur at varying heights within the Dome. As such, visitors can further appreciate and be educated about our native fauna during an exhilarating experience.

I climbed to the top and walked around the dome. Great views, while the boys did the high obstacle course. I should have gone back on one of the days I had free entry, you get four days to revisit the place.

My daughter and I had such an amazing time. This place was fantastic and reasonably priced for a Cairns activity. The staff were all great and as a 6 year old, my daughter loved the Mid and High Zoom. Please don’t close this place. Now we have found it we want to return often.

After many years we have revisited the Wildlife Dome, one place you don’t want to miss when you visit Cairns! Unfortunately I read in the local news that they are going to close this beautiful place 😢, what a loss for Cairns and the visiting tourists. Yes it has become a bit outdated but where else in Australia can you see wildlife up close on the roof of a casino!? The last time we visited, both my wife and I were ambulant, unfortunately my wife is now wheelchair bound which makes visiting a lot of place more difficult, despite all the wheelchair ramps etc - believe me I speak out of experience. Upon arrival at the roof top, staff were quickly to assist us so we could enjoy our outing to the Dome. All staff we came across during our visit were so friendly and helpful, just fantastic and that despite the impending loss of this attraction. If you can go and see this attraction before it’s too late and don’t forget youngsters will have a ball doing the Zoom activities.

Don't touch the birds! I walked in and got so excited by the beautiful birds I didn't even take in anything else! So wondered up to a absolutely stunning galah which happily jumped on my arm and ran up my shoulder. A zoo keeper firmly but politely notified me of the signs, and I apologised continuously! So hopefully you read this before heading in and making the mistake I made. It's for your safety and the birds. SAYING THAT - It didn't stop me having a wonderful time!! I enjoyed the talks and feeding times. I enjoyed interacting with the birds. All the animals are happy and so active. We came back twice as a ticket allows you 4 days entry. I strongly recommend this even if you don't do the activities, especially if your a massive fan of birds like me.

Mixed reviews on this one, but it's from my personal feelings of keeping animals in captivity. Think this place would be great for tourists short on time with a guarantee of seeing Australian wildlife and young kids because it houses an adventure course above the animal's cages. Located at the top of the Cairns Casino, gambling floors. Can see crocodiles, snakes, kookaburras, lizards, kangaroos, koalas, and red tail cockatoos.
