Your experience

Discover Australia's medical pioneers

The Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) has been essential in delivering aeromedical care across Australia's vast outback since the early 20th century. On your visit to the Darwin Tourist Facility, you will learn about the service's origins under John Flynn and its vital role during World War II, particularly the bombing of Darwin Harbour in 1942.

Step aboard a meticulously preserved RFDS Pilatus PC-12 aircraft and immerse yourself in captivating hologram displays and virtual reality experiences. See life-sized replicas of WWII aircraft, and learn how the RFDS supported the community through challenging times. Walk through interactive exhibitions that reveal the day-to-day operations of pilots, nurses, and doctors, making you feel a part of this incredible history.

Meet Australia’s legends of the reptile world

At Crocosaurus Cove, right in Darwin's city center, you’ll encounter the world’s largest collection of Australian reptiles, including over 70 species housed in the renowned Reptile House. Watch the exhilarating Big Croc Feed Show, catch the resident star croc Burt in action, and take the chance to hold or feed a juvenile crocodile if you’re feeling brave. With the unique Cage of Death experience (available for an extra fee), thrill seekers can swim close to a giant saltwater crocodile, safely enclosed.

The adventure extends beyond crocodiles: marvel at native fish like Barramundi in a vast freshwater aquarium, explore the turtle enclosure, and meet a variety of snakes and lizards that call the Top End home. The Cove’s hands-on activities, interactive talks, and daily demonstrations ensure a memorable visit for all ages.
