Douglas Shire residents have one final chance to enjoy Cairns ZOOM & Wildlife Dome before the iconic tourist attraction closes for good this Sunday.

After nearly two decades of providing visitors from all over the world with unforgettable wildlife encounters and thrilling adventure experiences, Cairns ZOOM & Wildlife Dome has made a significant impact on the Far North tourism industry.

Perched atop the Reef Hotel Casino building, Cairns ZOOM & Wildlife Dome has offered visitors a unique blend of wildlife experiences and adventure activities, including the opportunity to get up close with a variety of Australian animals, as well as experience the thrill of the ropes course, dome climb, and power jump.

"As we reflect on the visionary concept and design that created the world’s first ropes course in a wildlife attraction, we share the heartbreak of our passionate staff and the local community, CaPTA systems & projects director Michael Woodward said.

Another familiar local tourism identity has encouraged everyone to come and say goodbye.

"We encourage everyone to visit Cairns ZOOM & Wildlife Dome one last time before it closes this Sunday," CaPTA Director of sales & marketing Ben Woodward said.

"On behalf of CaPTA and Cairns ZOOM & Wildlife Dome, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to the local community including those from the Douglas Shire for all of their support over the years."

The CaPTA Group is passionate about wildlife education, conservation, and delivering unforgettable experiences for visitors of all ages through its other attractions, including Australian Butterfly Sanctuary, Wildlife Habitat Port Douglas and Rainforestation Nature Park Kuranda.
