VISITOR CENTRE
The popular stopover for travellers en route to Kakadu
Wetland View Top Visitor Centre is perched at the top of the Ludawei (Beatrice Hill), one of the highest points in the area. From the observation deck, you can see for miles over the floodplains of the Adelaide River. The uninterrupted views are stunning all year round with dramatic storms in the wet season and wildlife congregating together in the smaller water ways during the dry season. Binoculars are available at the top deck and the viewing platform creates the perfect photo opportunity for your Territory experience.
The modern, newly renovated visitor centre building has two levels and is air conditioned and provides a welcome break from the Territory's heat and humidity. Information of places to visit and activities in the immediate area are available from our local guides.
