The new Discovery Centre finished it's redevelopment in December 2018 and includes a AUD2 million upgrade to the interpretive experience with an expanded range of larger and professionally themed aquariums as well as interpretation of the Koombana Bay environment and its history – geological, indigenous, marine and contemporary. It is an immersive experience, with activity centres, interactive displays, feeding programs and tours that appeal to all age groups. There is a cafe and souvenir shop too.
The aquariums tell the story of the region from the freshwater river to offshore reefs and features the marine plants and animals of the 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 the beach Interaction Zone and Dolphin Tours.
Dolphin Swim Tours begin 1 November where you can swim with wild dolphins. Dolphin Eco Cruises run throughout the year, weather dependent. All bookings can be done online or via the Bunbury Visitor Centre.
