This place is cool! There is a huge variety in the reptiles etc they have. I was super impressed by how many animals I was able to observe. Sometimes it can be tricky to actually spot the animal but here, I felt like I saw nearly every single one. The enclosure layouts are very creative and interesting.
The outside space is also very nicely laid out and creative. A very cool snakes and ladders playground and lots of cool tyre animals.
There is even a little space to put your dog so it can run around in a little pen while you are there.
You could easily spend a good amount of time at this place! They do talks and demonstrations and the friendly staff are very accessible and will happily answer questions. I happened to be there for when Danny was feeding a snake, and his interaction with the group he was showing was very knowledgeable and friendly.
Take your time to look at everything and ask questions. This is a fun place!
There is a cold drinks vending machine and a coffee machine. Toilets are around the back. Plenty of...
Β Β Β Read moreTodays afternoon activity in this down south heatwave. I dont normally get excited about reptile displays, as half the enclosures always seem empty π This place was awesome! canβt recommend it enough!! most of the good stuff except for great little playground, was in aircon. A great, short and very interesting information session, snake feeding, baby skink feeding, patting muffin the lizard, young staff were so good with the kids. the enclosures were beautiful and most of the animals moving. joanna the goanna is the best, she comes right up and interacts with the kids. a must do if you are down south with or without kids. even has a small cafe. an extra mention of the young crew working there, they were enthusiastic, helpful and the kids thought they were the best. keep up the great work guys π Update- we were so impressed, that i booked my daughter into the two hour workshop, a few days later. she had the best time and now wants to be a zoologist specialising in reptiles π but thanks guys, for creating a great experience...
Β Β Β Read moreThis place is amazing. Yes, it's small. But take a real good look at all of the enclosures, and you'll notice an insane difference to any other reptile display. Every single enclosure is impeccable, all clean and perfectly presented. Allowing a safe and welcoming space for the animals whilst also doing their best to ensure visitors are able to view all the animals. (Money well worth spent in my opinion!)
Staff are friendly, helpful and approachable. I greatly look forward to returning over the years to see further expansions and improvements. I can only imagine Harriet the Salty will get an amazing outdoor enclosure when the time comes!! The animals all looked happy and well cared for. Well done guys on supporting the Herpetological field and helping to educate...
