    Friendly staff, not too expensive and a good variety of animals to see if you love reptiles. Easy to spend 2 hours there. Would recommend checking out the website before you visit for presentation times so you don't miss out on seeing what you want. Went on a Friday, had purchased tickets online that morning but when we arrived there was zero queue, could have just bought tickets on arrival.

    I liked this place better than expected. We were originally going to give it a miss as there were a few exhibits not open. However we were at a loose end in Darwin on a Sunday. We got discounted tickets online through qantas, so it was under $100 for a family of four. It was good that you get a wristband and can go in and out as often as you like. We particularly loved the reptile exhibit, and the meet the reptile show.

    Interesting, but only worth about an hour of time on your own. You need to time your visit to the shows that are taking place, especially the croc show at 11:30a and 2:30p. So don't arrive at 9a when they open or you will get very bored waiting for the main show. If you find this review and pics helpful, please click helpful.

    Stepped into the wild side at Crocosaurus Cove in Darwin and it's a full 5 stars from me! The place is an absolute gem for wildlife enthusiasts and families looking for an adventure. The star attractions, the crocs, are magnificent and it's a thrill to see them up close. It's not just about observing; it's about learning and appreciating these powerful creatures in a safe environment. The staff are knowledgeable and passionate, ensuring everyone has a great time while educating visitors about crocodile conservation. Whether you're watching them glide through the water or witnessing a feeding frenzy, it's an unforgettable experience. Crocosaurus Cove is a must-visit when in Darwin – where else can you come face-to-face with the largest reptiles on earth?

    There were some customers here since 3 pm, so we were able to attend events that occur every 30 minutes, such as a private aquarium. All the staff were kind and friendly. It was truly amazing!
