Experience the unique and natural phenomenon of fish feeding on the high tide in the tranquil tropical waters of Darwin’s Doctors Gully at Aquascene.
Established in 1981, Aquascene has welcomed over 70,000 visitors annually and is one of Darwin’s most loved family attractions.
Hand-feed hundreds of local fish — including barramundi, batfish, and friendly shovel-nose rays — as they gently tickle your toes. Choose to feed from the shaded platform or wade into the shallow water. All fish are safe and toothless — perfect for children, toddlers, and first-timers.
Onsite facilities:
• The Gully Cafe (fresh bagels, focaccia, mango smoothies, ice cream – open from 8am)
• Giant shaded playground with parents’ seating
• Free off-street parking
• Historic WWII precinct nearby
Feeding times follow the tide — check current times on our website before visiting. Flexible stay: arrive early, feed at high tide, then relax at the cafe or playground.
