AI summary of 19 reviews
Travellers consistently praise the opportunity to view saltwater crocodiles up close and the variety of hands-on experiences available, including feeding young crocodiles, holding snakes and other reptiles, and attending informative keeper talks. The facility stands out for offering more interactive wildlife experiences than typical tours, with visitors particularly noting the reptile house, turtle area, and opportunities to observe feeding demonstrations, alongside generally knowledgeable and friendly staff. The most common caveat is that the general admission experience can feel brief without purchasing additional shows, and some visitors noted that facilities appear somewhat tired and accessibility is limited due to steps throughout the venue.
How we collect and publish reviews
Where they come from. Our reviews are gathered from independent review sites and from guests who share feedback with us directly after their trip. They come from people who have actually travelled on the tour. Some longer trips are made up of shorter tours we also sell, run back to back — where a review was written about one of those legs, the review says so.
Why some are edited. Many of our guests travel in their second or third language. Where a review is hard to read, we lightly edit spelling, grammar and punctuation, or paraphrase a sentence for clarity. We never change the rating, the meaning or the sentiment, and we never write a review on a guest's behalf.
Reading the originals. Reviews sourced from public review sites appear there in their original form, and can be read in full at their original source at any time.
Great for kids and adults, with more than crocs: a turtle area with a free talk on a normal ticket and a reptile house full of venomous snakes. I spent about two hours and it's well worth a visit in Darwin.
Friendly staff and good croc viewing, including a feeding. A great reptile collection, and a lovely keeper let everyone hold a snake and a lizard.
I think I had a better experience here than friends did on a croc boat tour. I saw a croc leap out of the water for food, held one, and saw lots of native reptiles.
Far more hands-on than other wildlife parks. My kids fed and held little crocs, held a snake and a blue-tongue, watched a lizard eat crickets, saw a big croc fed twice and swam in the pool beside the little crocs.
Well set up for seeing the crocs up close, plus a good collection of other reptiles and amphibians.
