The Great Barrier Reef Aquarium’s visitor entrance underwent a major facelift with the removal of the adjacent Wonderland complex, the Omnimax theatre, three levels of office space and the Cultural Centre in 2021. The removal of these buildings will improve the visitor experience and access to the Great Barrier Reef Aquarium when it reopens. The original Aquarium building currently remains.

The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority acknowledges the expertise, wisdom, and enduring connections that have informed the guardianship of the Reef for millennia. We pay our respects to the Traditional Owners as the first managers of this land and sea Country, and value their traditional knowledge which continues to inform the current management and stewardship of the Reef for future generations. We pay our respects to the Gurambilbarra Wulgurukaba Traditional Owners on whose land the Great Barrier Reef Aquarium is situated on. We acknowledge their connection to Country and are honoured to be collaborating with the Gurambilbarra Wulgurukaba community to co-design exhibits highlighting culture values and connections to sea Country.
