    Some of the best animal displays I have ever seen in Australia. Great place to visit with a good variety of animals, artworks and Cyclone Tracy information. Free to visit and allow 1-2 hrs to complete.

    Crocosaurus Cove is a must see for all tourists. The site has a focus on safety and provides a first hand experience that is suitable for all tourists to the NT.

    This museum would have to be one of the best and most informative museums I've ever visited. It's not huge but they've packed so much interactive information and hologram movies in here. If you really want to step inside a real plane and see how little space these angels of mercy have to work in & learn via visual headsets the challenges they face is truly commendable. I also learnt a huge amount about the 1942 Japanese bombing in Darwin & by means of visual and sensory aids actually had real life experiences of how scary the bombing was.
    The fee to experience all this was worth every cent. Good job guys!

    Amazing bustling market. Went four times in two weeks and enjoyed food, crafts, music, people......Surprising number of people who attend considering Darwin's relatively small population.

    Visited at the end of the wet season and the springs were closed to swimming as the water level was high and it was defiantly rushing water. Still lovely to visit!!

    The Darwin Aviation Museum is adjacent to Darwin Airport, but on the other side. A local bus stops in front of the museum. Its prize exhibit is the only Boeing B-52 Stratofortress on display in the Southern Hemisphere. It was built in 1959 and gifted by the U.S. government to the people of Darwin in 1990. They had to build a special hangar to accommodate this huge aircraft. I spent two hours at this museum enjoying their many exhibits.

    Visited at the end of the wet season and it was very quiet, not all shops open, water blow ups closed, wave pool not operating… however it was still a beautiful place to visit and I can understand how popular it wills be in peak season with lots of shops and activities.

    Great place to visit with lots of war memorabilia. 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.

    Fantastic wave pool located right on the Darwin waterfront. Good value for money and a fun activity to do on a hot day! Staff were friendly and polite.

    This was built in 1994 and is the largest crocodile and wildlife attraction in the Northern Territory. It has hundreds of crocodiles, a museum and a jumping croc cruise. It costs $44 for an adult and cheaper for concessions.

    A must see for anyone visiting Darwin. Our family loved the Museum and learnt more about the day War came to Australia. The indoor and outdoor exhibits were brilliant, informative and very well put together which made it easy for our 11 year old to take in.

    Visited on Sunday 30th April, it was very busy being the first Sunday market this year. Great choice of food and drink, not as many market stalls as I was expecting.
