I was in Darwin for a limited amount of time. The visit to Crocosaurus Zoo was the perfect way to spend the afternoon. It is conveniently located and easy to get to. There was several huge salt water crocs to see. I had no idea they were so big. Many smaller crocs were in the zoo also. There was plenty of interesting educational material throughout the zoo. I recommend Crocosaurus Zoo as a must see when in Darwin.

Loved how quickly and fun the crocodile photos were and the cloud drop option was amazing. Animal enclosures clean and well kept. Would have LOVED misting machines to keep cooler in some area up top.

Tayla was a wonderful tour guide. We were the only 2 in the group so we got very special treatment. We enjoyed feeding Wendell and the baby crocs. We also absolutely fell in love with Nacho in the reptile enclosure.

Wildlife lovers can't miss Crocosaurus Cove, home to crocs and reptiles, packed with various zones, shows, and activities for a memorable adventure.

Visit Reptile House to see 70+ species, catch Barramundi, Archer Fish, and more in the freshwater aquarium, and meet turtles in the Turtle Billabong.

Bring your bathers and swim with crocodiles (safely, of course), fish for crocs, and smile for the camera while holding a baby Saltwater Crocodile.

Upgrade to feed a friendly whipray in a small group, or opt for a 1.5-hour guided tour with VIP access to Reptile House, Fishing for Crocs, and more.

Fun fact: Reptiles have been around for over 300 million years, making them some of the oldest creatures on Earth.
