Top things for teens to do in Darwin

Airboat Tours

Feel the rush of an airboat on a Top End airboat tour! Airboats a great way to explore areas of shallow tidal flats and estuaries because they are designed to float on top of the water, unlike traditional boats. Zip around the harbour, tidal flats and river inlets and get the unique airboat experience. Don’t forget to put your ear muffs on!

Crocosaurus Cove

Unsuspectingly located in the heart of the Darwin CBD, Croc Cove is home to some of the largest Saltwater Crocodiles in Australia. It's a must do when you're visiting Darwin.

Want something cool to tell your friends about back home? The infamous Cage of Death at Croc Cove is not for the faint hearted. Available to anyone 15 years and over, you’ll be plunged into a pool with one of Australia’s biggest apex predators - specifically, a 5m saltwater crocodile. 


Crocosaurus Cove is the only place in Australia that offers you the chance to dive with a croc. Feel the power and strength of these creatures up close and personal and get some awesome pics while you do it. 


If the Cage of Death isn't your thing, the Cove still has a bunch of engaging attractions including a reptile show and fishing with crocs.  


Darwin Waterfront

The Darwin Waterfront is a popular hot spot for teenagers and young people to swim, relax and soak up the sun. 


Recreation Lagoon
- The Bali-inspired Beach Club at the Recreation Lagoon is open everyday from June to September. Decked out with day beds and lounges, there’s house music and regular DJs to add to the laid back vibes. 


Wave Lagoon -
Catch a wave at Darwin’s most popular stinger and croc-free swimming spot - the Wave Lagoon. With 10 different wave patterns and lounges and umbrellas to chill out lagoon-side, you can easily spend a whole afternoon at this Waterfront attraction.


Aqua Park - 
Check out the Aqua Park if you want a fun obstacle challenge. Slide, bounce and climb your way over this huge floating obstacle course in the middle of the Recreation Lagoon.


Kingpin

Looking for a retreat from the heat? Kingpin Darwin has over 20 bowling lanes, games arcade, laser tag, ping pong tables and more. In short, it’s the ultimate entertainment destination for teens.


Mindil Beach Sunset Market

The Mindil Beach Sunset Market is at the heart of Darwin’s market scene. 


Just a short drive or bus ride from Hudson Parap, the markets are host to over 200 different food, arts and crafts stalls. Running from April to October on Thursday and Sunday nights, the markets are a popular spot for local teens to explore. 


Check out the locally made jewellery, art and clothing before wandering the food stalls. You’re guaranteed to have a difficult time choosing what to eat - the markets are home to food from all around the globe.


Enjoy an iconic Darwin sunset dinner on the beach and end the night with some much needed dessert - our favourites are the ice cream stall, churros and of course, Darwin's famous Ken’s Crepes. 


Museum and Galleries

Darwin is gifted with a number of museums and art exhibitions!  Download the Darwin Street Art Festival App and roam the city finding the new and inspiring, world famous art!


Or, escape the heat and visit the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory, a well known museum rich in history and culture of the NT!


Don't miss out on a number of the WWII Museums and experiences around town, with the Royal Flying Doctor Service and Bombing of Darwin virtual reality tours!


Neuron Scooters/Bikes  

One of the newest and most popular ways to see Darwin is on an e-scooter or e-bike. Neuron operate around the Darwin CBD, Waterfront and Cullen Bay, and it’s as easy as downloading the Neuron app to get started. 


This is also a great way for teens to get around without a car. 


Skyline Ferris Wheel

The Skyline Ferris Wheel is Stokes Hill Wharf’s newest resident for the dry season. 


Get spectacular 360 degree views of Darwin and surrounds. Grab some lunch at the wharf or catch Darwin’s stunning sunset in the late afternoon. If you’re out and about after dinner, experience the night lights and see the wheel all lit up.
