Daintree Discovery Centre

Galleries, Museums and Collections

The Daintree Discovery Centre offers a one-of-a-kind rainforest experience, taking you from the forest floor to the soaring heights of the canopy.

Explore the Jarrabina Terraces, named after the Tree Kangaroo, with a walk dedicated to the Daintree’s unique and endemic species. Walk the 11-metre-high Aerial Walkway to marvel at the ancient flora and fauna from the treetops, or climb the 23-metre-high Canopy Tower, stopping at five viewing platforms for breathtaking views across the rainforest. On the Cassowary Circuit, enjoy the beauty of McLean’s Creek lookout and its iconic king ferns.

Discover the Jurassic Forest, home to life-sized dinosaur replicas and follow the Bush Tucker Trail to learn about native plants and their traditional uses by the Kuku Yalanji people. Enhance your visit with Audio Guides, available in eight languages, including a kids’ tour and an Indigenous-guided experience. As an award-winning Ecotourism attraction, the Discovery Centre offers a sustainable way to experience the world’s oldest rainforest.
