    Go down when the markets are on Thursday or Sunday after 4pm.
    The sunset will not disappoint and the food was delicious!

    Did the cage of death with Baru. This has been on my bucket list for years and I absolutely loved it. It was such a cool experience to be able to get up and close with these crocs. I would definitely do it again.

    Another great NT water experience. Easily accessible; walks as well as mini-waterfalls; a nice way to cool off after a day's adventure at the Territory Wildlife Park.

    Worthwhile visit particularly in association with the Bombing of Darwin boat cruise. Take the time to watch the videos.

    all safe and sound in the wave lagoon no nasty crocs, sharks or other nasties that are in the water. The kids love it just as much as the adults do ... lots of fun.

    We visited the Botanic Gardens at the end of our half day tour of the city. This was a better option than being dropped back at our hotel. We enjoyed a light lunch in the cafe before exploring the gardens. The visitors centre is worth visiting to learn more about the gardens including the cyclones and personalities who shaped its development. Overall, the gardens are well maintained and it’s easy walking, but can be hot. Worth visiting.

    Australians were deceived by Government about the extent of war time activity in Darwin. The bombing was ferocious. The video experience here and the small museum are well worth the visit. We took an Uber out here rather than waste a day waiting for a bus. It was very cheap

    If you are in Darwin on market day you have to go. Variety of foods. Especially Asian foods. Special fruit juices. Nice to walk around the crowd. We tried all Thai salads and curries. Fruit juices. Sit on the grass anywhere. Bring a rug if you can. Go early and walk back along the beach at sunset time.

    What a great way to spend the day! We took two kids (8 and 11) and they and the adults had a fantastic time. Great water slides and other places to swim/relax.
    The fact that it’s free is a bonus!
