Great excursion!
We enjoyed seeing the crocs and Australian animals. Duck Tour and croc feeding were interesting.
Great Experience
We loved the experience. We took a the half day tour which was enough to take a bout tour, see the snake and a crocodile show and all the other animals. The staff was really friendly, the crocodile show was great. They picked us up in front of our hotel and when arrived we were given the tickets for the bout tour and guided to the waiting area. Everything felt planned which is great. I believe its a great activity for all ages.

A great family day out
A great family day out with plenty to see and do, as a bonus if you have young kids who get over the walk quickly is your ticket is valid for three days so you can go again the next day. The crocodile demonstration’s were informative and great to watch and very entertaining. A must do is also the lagoon boat ride where they feed the crocodile from the boat.
Great afternoon
This was very much worth seeing, the staff were quite knowledgeable and friendly, the animals appeared well cared for, and the facility was laid out very well, it felt much larger than it is, but all the areas were very easy to walk to in a short time. We saw the snake and croc attack shows, and did the lagoon boat ride.
Nice half day trip.
Had a great time. Place was informative and entertaining. Family all felt it was a great experience. Exhibits were clean ands nicely put together.
