Marine Discovery & Interpretive Centre – Western Australia, Australia

EXPERIENCE

Our Interpretive Centre showcases an expanded range of themed fish and animals like sharks, octopus and coral aquariums plus our amazing 360-degree Digital Dolphinarium, as well as a fascinating Interpretation of the Koombana Bay environment and its history – geological, indigenous, marine and contemporary. We are open 7 days from 9am – 3pm. Your ticket is valid for the whole calendar day, we recommend 90 minutes but feel free to stay longer!

It is an immersive experience, with activity centres, interactive displays, feeding programs (4 times daily) and tours that appeal to all age groups. The aquariums tell the story of our region from freshwater river to offshore reef and feature the marine plants and animals of our temperate zone. The centre provides a unique experience that uses embedded technology along with natural displays to create a memorable experience for visitors that complements the wild dolphin experience of our beach Interaction Zone and Dolphin Tours.

The Dolphin Discovery Centre works with the wild Bottlenose dolphins of Koombana Bay and is dedicated to conservation, research and education. The centre is a not for profit organisation and thrives on the generosity of about 100 volunteers.

If the dolphins choose to visit the Interaction Zone outside the centre we will make sure we let you know. It’s a great opportunity to see wild dolphins in their natural environment. There are no dolphins in aquariums or ocean pens!
