Daintree Discovery Centre wonder - The Daintree Discovery Centre was fantastic. A great audio tour around the centre. Great info on the various fauna & flora as well as history. Such a wide variety. Interesting Cassowary facts etc.Loved the animated dinosaurs. Pictures & info on various bush tucker items. I’m not great with heights but made it to the top of the 23m tower, looking out over the rainforest - fabulous. Definitely a drop in point on the way to Cape Tribulation or just on its own.

Bellissimo! - The entrance ticket also includes an audio guide in all languages (even Italian!) which is not obvious in these parts.
Following the path indicated by the park booklet and the map, you will discover many curiosities about flowers, fruits, trees, plants, animals of all kinds (birds, snakes, marsupials), as well as some hints of history about Aboriginal culture and their survival secrets.
Very nice Jurassic Park, where some dinosaurs that populated the area were reproduced in real size.
It is highly recommended to go to the top of the 23-meter tower (across 112 steps), and listening to the audio guide you will discover many notions about the stratification of the rainforest, as well as the essential role that animals have in its maintenance and preservation.
Trip absolutely recommended even for those with children!
There is also a nice bar and a well stocked gift shop!

Must do! - Pleasantly surprised by the Daintree Forest tour! Self guided, easy to use audio included. Lots of interactive sights to see and things to do. Very well set out sections to explore. Pathways easy to walk and loved the easy climb up the stairs to the lookout. Great value for money & fantastic for all ages.

An amazing adventure into nature - The displays were an amazing, educational, very high tech and informative. The audio visual technology is the best I have seen in Australia, very comparable to USA standards. Lots of interesting walks with audio explanations including a multi-level tower which rose above the canopy. The dinosaur animations were very realistic. Took many photo's.

Daintree Discovery Centre - Daintree Discovery Centre is a must do for every tourist and local.Set in the oldest rainforest in the world ,it is worth a whole day of exploring,learning and immersing in an ancient beautiful lush rainforest.The 23 meter canopy tower and aerial walkway gives you a birds eye view with sightings of native birds ,butterflies,if lucky even a cassowary.The audio tour and the booklet is very informative and gives you a great appreciation of this amazing part of the world.The staff are very welcoming and helpful,so much so that I ended up with a very flat tyre lucky for me Pete one of the guides changed my tyre in the RAIN .Where would you get that customer service ? Thanks Pete for saving the day I owe you a slab of Great Northern,you're a legend.

Absolutely amazing...but pricey - Absolutely amazing set up and experience, and worth making the time and effort for. You learn heaps about the Daintree Rainforest with the recording devices they have there and all the info boards. It is terribly overpriced; entry fees, food and drinks though. It is very tourist targeted, meaning a coffee is expensive!

Daintree Rainforest - more for kids - There was a lot of hype for this discovery centre. Being a tourist you don’t know until you get there on what it is exactly like. The parking to this venue was poor. A few spots & everyone else had to park on a dirt road with access of one car to get through. When we arrived the centre the staff were nice but they’re quick to pounce on you to purchase a ticket even if you just wanted morning tea. When we got inside they had these ear sets that you can listen to with numbers on the suspension bridge. I found that great & informative. There are some fish & snake displays which are good but a lot of the displays are more for kids. The tower wasn’t very mobile friendly. A steep walk up the top, not everyone can climb up. If you are someone who doesn’t like walks in the rainforest, likes everything at your doorstep & have kids this is a good place to visit. I like exploring nature itself & found it was very touristy. Not worth the $39, you can get a discount with a voucher which is much more reasonable.
