Koalas draw tourists to handy city centre
LAST month’s closure of successful and immersive tourist attraction Cairns ZOOM and Wildlife Dome has paved the way for a new tourism experience with parent company CaPTA Group.
Positioned in the convenient location of the Pier Cairns shopping centre, this new attraction is focused on combining family entertainment with environmental education.
The experience features an immersive journey that spans from the vibrant depths of the Great Barrier Reef to the simple but beautiful rugged Australian Outback, all while educating through entertaining.
The attraction is scheduled to be completed in March 2024, but eager visitors will not have to wait after the woodlands section of the experience was unveiled last week.
The woodlands exhibit, the first unveiled section of the attraction, showcases Australia’s unique woodland creatures and brings attention to the challenges they face in their natural habitats.
Guests can engage with koalas LuLu, Pavlova, and Nellie, who have recently relocated from the beloved Cairns ZOOM and Wildlife Dome.
CaPTA Group attractions general manager Andrew Hearn said he was excited to be able to work with the Pier Cairns, sharing his motive of providing family entertainment and education in a convenient location.
“The woodlands exhibit is just the beginning of our commitment to delivering an immersive journey that combines family entertainment with environmental education,” said Mr Hearn.
“Cairns visitors can expect a unique blend of excitement and insight, as we unveil the full attraction in late March 2024.”
