A wonderful experience seeing so many reptiles in one place - all so well cared for - boy are those "Salties" big and powerful - would recommend that when in Darwin take a couple of hours out to visit - you won't be disappointed

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.
