The CaPTA Group offers first look at Cairns' latest Visitor Attraction at the Pier

The CaPTA Group has offered a first look at the new wildlife experience located at The Pier Cairns Centre. The new attraction follows on from the closure of Cairns ZOOM and Wildlife Dome six weeks ago.

The CaPTA Group’s latest attraction offers a family and education-focused experience set to take guests on an immersive journey spanning from the wonders of the Great Barrier Reef to the rugged beauty of the Australian Outback.

Scheduled for full completion in late March 2024, the attraction aims to combine family entertainment with environmental education, but eager visitors won't have to wait until the grand opening, with a sneak peek having already opened this 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 they are thrilled to be working with the Pier Cairns to provide visitors with a conveniently located wildlife experience.

Hearn shared "The Woodlands Exhibit is just the beginning of our commitment to delivering an immersive journey that combines family entertainment with environmental education.

“Cairns visitors can expect a unique blend of excitement and insight as we unveil the full attraction in late March 2024."

As The CaPTA Group continues to work towards the grand opening in March 2024, the Woodlands Exhibit stands as a testament to their commitment to delivering a blend of entertainment and education for all ages.
