Experiencia negativa: Wir waren vor 2 Jahren hier und wollten uns das Aquarium angucken.Auch da war es schon geschlossen! Für mich sieht das nach dauerhaft geschlossen aus.Da ist nichts mehr.

Curtis Tribe Adventures 1 year ago

Experiencia fantástica: Had an awesome day here. So much to see and do. The turtle hospital was truly amazing and sad at how some of these beautiful creatures can be hurt so easily. The staff was very knowledgeable and passionate about their work. We had a great day.

Experiencia fantástica: Went ages ago but was excellent, government should fully fund upgrading this aquarium

Jens Bauer 1 year ago

Experiencia positiva: Hallo, als ich das letzte mal hier in Townsville war, bin ich auch öfters hier vorbei gekommen. Ein nettes Gebäude, auch das Museum gleich nebenan. Leider konnte ich nicht rein ins Haus, denn es war geschlossen. Man sollte aber auch wissen, selbst wenn es geöffnet gewesen wäre, ein Schnäppchen wäre ein Besuch nicht. Die Preise hier sind ganz schön fett. Sicherlich, das Geld ist sinnvoll angelegt und wird auch benötigt. Aber nicht jeder Tourist hat gleich so viel Geld für einen Besuch. Die Öffnungszeiten sind auch nicht so optimal. Naja, kann eben nicht alles haben.

Experiencia fantástica: Als je het Grest Barrier Reef vanuit Townsville gaat bezoeken, ga dan ook naar dit aquarium. Het is een enorm en ook het grootste levende koraalrif aquarium ter wereld. Ik heb heel veel whoa's en oh's daar gezegd. Het is een van mijn hoogtepunten tijdens mijn reis door Australië geweest.

Victor Rull 2 years ago

Experiencia negativa: Very disappointing! It has been closed for almost two years now, and there is not a single mentioning of this online or on street sighs. The site looks completely abandoned (we were there in the middle of the week and saw not a single person on site). It seems it will never open. Even locals don't know what's happening there and why it is closed. The official web-site says it is "transforming" which is a direct disinformation; the aquarium just does not exist anymore.

Hi Victor,

We provided an update to the community in November (via media and social media channels), which highlighted that the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority is moving forward with planning a brand-new aquarium. The full project update can be found on our website: https://www.reefhq.com.au/news-new-future-for-reef-hq-great-barrier-reef-aquarium/

A new purpose-built building will deliver better long-term value, however, as we progress to the detailed design stage with our principal contractor it is expected that the new aquarium will be open in 2026. We do miss welcoming visitors into the aquarium, but we invite you to stay updated on our transformation journey via our website and social channels. https://www.reefhq.com.au/

Thank you, Reef HQ Aquarium team

Experiencia fantástica: Booking was full but after calling on the telephone, staff were nice enough to put us on a waiting list in case attendees left prematurely. We received a call and moseyed on down. A great experience in the heart of Townsville. Friendly and knowledgeable people and fish/molluscs/reptiles etc. very welcoming. One reviewer said (and I am paraphrasing here): “greatest way to see the barrier reef without getting wet” This is extremely accurate. Five stars.

Hi Kerry, We're sorry you were unable to visit. To operate under our Industry Approved COVID Safe plan we have had to implement new measures, which includes an online booking system. This enables us to manage how many people are in the facility at any one time, which we have had to limit to comply with social distancing requirements. It also provides us with customer details for contact tracing purposes. Sadly, we have had to temporarily suspend our talks and tours program, to comply with our COVID Safe Plan, as well. Due to these changes, we currently have 25% off our general admission tickets. We do have a Reef Education Specialist on the floor who can answer questions about the Great Barrier Reef. We have implemented QR codes, which link to educational videos so that guests can learn more about the Great Barrier Reef and the animals that call it home.

Experiencia positiva: Pretty exxy and fairly tired looking overall. Some of the exhibits were empty also. Not quite up to the same standard as the Cairns Aquarium

Great Barrier Reef Aquarium
Great Barrier Reef Aquarium

Hi Dave, thank you for your 3-star review and feedback. Our aquarium is designed to showcase the Great Barrier Reef and so our marine animals behave as they would out in the reef. As the world’s largest living coral reef aquarium, our fishy friends are often busy exploring and interacting with the corals in our exhibits. Our marine life is best seen at 2:30pm for our Animal Feeding Tour where our fishy friends make their way to the tunnel for their daily feed.

Experiencia fantástica: Had a fantastic time. I do miss petting the sea critters like we use to be able to but understand it's for the animals health. Eat before you go. Food prices outrageous. They do have cardboard water containers though which is a bonus and a water refill station which is also pretty awesome

Hi SinfullyLost, many thanks for the 5-star review. You can still pet some Sea Stars and meet some other critters at the Discovery Lagoon at 11:15am and 2:00pm. We try to price our café items competitively and we appreciate your feedback on this. It’s great to hear you appreciate our water refill station, we installed the station over 8 months ago have since dispensed over 1000 litres of water! Please let your friends, colleagues and family know about your fantastic experience at Reef HQ Aquarium so they can enjoy us too.

Experiencia positiva: Unimpressed, definitely not worth the money. Paid for a family ticket, given no information, the guy at reception just told me to tap my card then handed me the receipt. It's old, run down and dull. The upstairs is incredibly hot and stinks of urine. The cafe was closed by 14:30. The staff doing the information talks were unprofessional and boring, resulting in people leaving and kid's whinging. Will not return. Cairns is 100x better.

Experiencia positiva: It was really cool Especially looking down into ther pool you realize how the fish etc are all there but they are hard to see , goes to show if your out on a boat you'll probably be missing 70%of what's really swimming by. It was a lovely day

Experiencia fantástica: We are locals to Townsville and have a family pass so we visit quite regularly and there is always something new on display. The kids have so much fun they don't even realise they are learning so much about the Great Barrier Reef and how to take care of it for future generations. There are extra activities during school holidays and there is a great play area upstairs for the kids to burn a bit of energy. The cafe has nice food and good coffee at reasonable prices for a bit of a pick-me-up half way through the day, as you will need a whole day if you want to get a good look at everything. There is also an awesome gift shop with everything from toys to windchimes to clothing which would all make great souvenirs to take home or as fantastic gifts for friends and family.

These school holidays we have craft workshops from 10am to 12:30pm each day, if your children have some energy to burn. We also have a member's only workshop Tuesday, 9th July at 8:30am. We look forward to welcoming you as our guest again in future.

Experiencia negativa: We visited again on Saturday 22/6/19 to find our beloved Reef HQ a shadow of its former self. Some great smaller attractions, the dive show was mediocre at best.

Hi Ryan, Thanks for the review. Sorry to hear you were disappointed by your experience. ReefHQ was built as an Australian Bicentennial Celebration project and is celebrating 32 years of operation this year. You will be happy to hear there is a significant amount of capital investment planned for ReefHQ in the near future (watch this space).

Experiencia fantástica: Alot better than imagined. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Visited early in the morning so it wasn't busy. Plenty of marine life for all members of the family. Detailed shows and displays at different times.
