Aquascene Fish Feeding Sanctuary sits on the harbour foreshore at Doctors Gully in Darwin, where wild fish have come in to be fed at high tide since the 1950s. As the tide rises, the fish swim close to shore and eagerly take treats, making this a fun and engaging experience for children and adults alike. Your ticket covers entry and the fish feeding experience, and fish food is provided. You can feed the fish from the raised platform or wade into the water and let them come to you. The sanctuary is only open during high tide, so feeding times change from day to day and you choose your time slot when you book. Suitable for all ages, this popular Darwin spot draws up to 70,000 visitors a year and is an easy outing to enjoy with family or friends. A café on site serves coffee, tea and light snacks if you would like to stay a little longer after feeding the fish.
