It is a bit small and worn down. Too bad they are surrounded by buildings and roads so expansion is not an option. The cage of death experience was interesting to say the least! Their knowledge and service are sublime!

With some feelings of I trepidation I presented myself for an interesting experience. The staff were fantastic- calm, informative and engaged. We entered our "cage" and lowered into the water. Daly the 5.1m, 800kg crocodile slowly swam to us, calmly checking us out. He stayed next to us all the time, watching us! Of course he knew there would be a reward! At the end of the session he was fed, another amazing experience. Loved it!!

Visit Crocosaurus Cove to see Australia's largest saltwater crocodiles and the world's biggest display of native reptiles in one thrilling attraction.

Face your fears in the Cage of Death, plunging into a transparent enclosure for 15 mins with a fierce crocodile. Don't miss its huge bite during feeding!

Choose to brave this alone or with a friend for a heart-pounding yet controlled crocodile encounter, supervised by expert handlers for your safety.

At the Cove, greet 70+ reptile species from Top End to Kimberly, watch feeding shows, and join activities like holding a croc and swimming with crocs.

Fun fact: Saltwater crocodile's bite force can reach up to 3,700 pounds per square inch (psi). It is more than three times the bite force of a lion.
