Great walk and ride
The reef eye ferris wheel looks the part with cylindrical gondolas, and the lady at the cash desk saved us $20, we were going to pay for a private gondolas, but she said we would get one anyway so we got in cheaper! In fairness not much to see as you go round but it is a very smooth ride. Plus The herd, the forms represent the backs of large creatures moving out to sea and are an amazing feature on the Esplanade. Made of granite they stand out on a flat landscape.

The lagoon is fantastic!
The lagoon is supervised by lifeguards till 9pm. (of course, they're not babysitters so don't just leave your kids!) My kids spent the vast majority of our time in Cairns at the Lagoon even when it was raining. Take an umbrella as there aren't many undercover spots. The Lagoon is across the road from the Night Markets which are also fun to visit.
