A great place to visit. $40 an adult, $32 a senior.
A friendly welcome. Everything explained to you about the premises and day feeding etc.
One needs to download the map of the place as no longer give out paper copies.
The reptile enclosure, walkthrough was very well spaced with heaps of information on each exhibition.
The highlight was seeing the staff feed the crocodiles. We even had the chance to feed baby crocodiles which was amazing.
A great place to visit. Well worth the money.
Exceptional knowledge of the reptile by the staff

We did the VIP tour at Crocosaurus Cove today and I highly recommend it.
Located in the middle of Darwin, they offer the chance to get up close and personal with salt water crocs, snakes, lizards and more.
The crocs are huge and our guide Tahli was fantastic, she was very knowledgeable and took the time to answer any and all questions.
Unfortunately, the cage of death was booked out so we missed out on that but it did look fun.

We learnt so much about not only crocodiles, but reptiles and marine animals as well.
and then we did the unique experience of being in the same enclosure as a crocodile, an experience we will never forget. We were lucky enough to order the photographer so we can take the experience home with us.

The guides and staff members are really friendly, overall we had a good experience in this park. You could swim with crocks and pet baby crocks.
This place would a be a nice addition in your Darwin trip, if you still have enough time after exploring the natural beauty NT has to offer.

It was a good experience, however it felt a little disjointed and found myself looking for things to do between shows. I enjoyed the reptile enclosure, some awesome specimens. It was great to see these big salties up close. Check out the website and plan your visit around the shows. Being in the middle of the city you need to consider parking as many spots close by don't cater to long parking or fill up fast. However its proximity can allow for taking advantage of the ability to leave and return.

In the heart of Darwin City this place is a must visit! I still cannot believe that there are so many huge crocodiles in the city centre.. blew my mind!
We got to hold a baby crocodile, a snake, and a blue tongue. There were people swimming with the crocodile in the “Cage of Death”, there are turtles, fish, whiprays, so many reptiles, frogs and not to mention probably hundreds of crocodiles! There is even a swimming pool and a ‘fishing’ platform where you can feed the small crocodiles.
All the staff were super friendly and so knowledgeable. The place is really educational, from all the signage to the presentations and it is well worth the money.
We spent a few hours in here but could easily have spent longer!
Would recommend 100% and hope to visit again one day!

The place was run down and even the main 2.30 show was marred by a microphone that only worked some of the time
I was seriously bored but stuck it out as it cost 80 bucks

Dear Gavin,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your recent visit did not meet your expectations.
While Yellow River Cruises offers a wonderful experience, our attraction provides something unique that you won't find elsewhere in Darwin. Our visitors get the rare opportunity to see how crocodiles behave underwater, an experience that isn't available in natural settings.
We apologize for the microphone issues during the show and are actively working to fix this problem.
We hope you'll give us another chance in the future. We are committed to providing a top-notch experience for all our guests and are constantly working to improve our facilities and performances.

Great way to see Salties up close. These animals are huge. Also a large reptile house, fish and turtle exhibits.
For an additional fee you can go into the croc tank.
Good option for a few hours in Darwin.

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.

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?

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.

It has big, old croc's, whose stories are much enlivened if you do one of the many, regular, short guided tours. (Make sure to ask about the croc couple, Will & Kate.) There’s also a snake & lizard exhibition that’s well worth doing – and it’s air-conditioned :-) Also a giant fish tank with lots of interesting critters swimming around each other.
Want to hold a small croc? No problem, go to the photography area on the 1st floor in the Reptile House. (Incidentally, that photographer is fun to watch as he deals with the shy & the scared, people trying to clown around, people he effortlessly teaches to do interesting poses for the photo’s, & all while the croc’s are trying to wiggle while being held. Despite everything going on, he produces absolutely terrific pic’s that are amazing & memorable. Top points for photographic competence & for dealing super nicely with people.)
There are un-air-conditioned food options in-house on the first floor, & outside on the ground floor, but there’s an air-conditioned pub opposite with kids’ food & there are other air-conditioned food places very close by that are cooler, so attracted us.

If you want to get up close and personal with a croc, this is the place to go but you must book. Recommend the morning, as I did arvo, and they were less hungry and less active.
The other attractions are worth 1hr before or after.
If in Darwin must do.

Excellent experience in the Cage of Death really interesting to get so close n personal without being eaten by a 5.5m saltwater crocodile called Wendell. These crocodiles were problems in the wild and rather than be euthanised they are rescued and kept in captivity. No they can’t live together these big males as crocodile are cannibals! Highly recommend the experience and the VIP tour where you get to hold Fluffy and feed Burt who has one eye is a bit slow but was once a star in various things such as Crocodile Dundee. Loved filming others in the 3 inch Perspex tube which is entered into from above and on a crane gantry which moves along and lowers you down to their chosen crocodile. They always attempt to ensure they respond. You get 15 minutes down with their chosen crocodile. It’s not scary or dare line pumping it’s fascinating to see how they function beneath the waterline. Age from 16 to ? As you have to be able to climb a few steps down a ladder and up again. They do not completely submerge you so you can sit in bottom and drop down with goggles on. Give it it try if your in Darwin it was the highlight of my trip!
