The stories of Ningaloo come to life at Exmouth’s newest tourism attraction; the Ningaloo Aquarium and Discovery Centre.   The centre is quickly building a reputation as a welcomed first stop in Exmouth where visitors can gain an intriguing destination experience of life in one of Australia’s youngest towns.

The Ningaloo Aquarium and Discovery Centre will delight children and adults alike with interactive touchscreen activities and an abundance of information to explore.  Kids can create their own digital fish and set if free to swim with Ningaloo creatures on a digital video wall; explore a cave system under the Cape Range and feast their eyes on scaly inhabitants in the Terrestrial Gallery.

 A visit to the gallery shop is well worth a browse at the conclusion or your time in the Discovery Centre, including a great range of holiday clothing, games, books and plush whalesharks or simply enjoy a delightful meal at the centre’s café.

With so much to see, a visit to the Ningaloo Aquarium and Discovery Centre is a great start to your extraordinary Ningaloo Adventure.
