There are two visitor centres in Kakadu National Park which host cultural workshops.

The staff are Kakadu experts, and the best people to help you plan your trip.

Bowali Visitor Centre, in Jabiru, tells visitors about the landscapes and wildlife of Kakadu. The Warradjan Aboriginal Cultural Centre, in Yellow Water, shares the vast and fascinating culture of the Bininj/Mungguy Traditional Owners.
