Our Whipray feeding encounter with Taylor was fabulous and well worth the money. Such a unique experience!! Had so much fun 😁
Whole team of keepers deserve a big thanks 🙏 sorry I don't know all your names.
The whole facility is amazing considering it is in the middle of the city. Well maintained enclosures and so many interactive experiences included with ticket price. Highly recommend!
Great people, great place and awesome crocs!
Would recommend to anyone and everyone.
The atmosphere is thrilling as you see crocodiles and other exotic animals all over the premises.
I found myself here for 2 hours on my length of visit, this covered the well known Cage of Death and other different experience.
Seeing these magnificent beast up close and personal is simply jaw dropping but thrilling as well.
The animals had so little space to move around including the reptile house that it felt inhumane, one lizard just pacing across the front of his small enclosure backwards and forwards.
It was very sad and we expected better.
Perhaps this is ok for small children who don’t understand what is happening there.
We were feeling a bit nervous but that was all put aside following the safety talk and meeting some of the Team. The Team were all passionate about the animals in their care.
It should be noted that the large crocs were "rescued" after being labelled as "problems".
All of the animals we saw looked well cared for.
The "Cage of Death" was an amazing experience, giving us the ability to look eye to eye with a live crocodile only an inch from our faces. Remember, these crocodiles would have been euthanised had they not been brought to Crocosaurus Cove.
They also have the famous Cage of Death, where you go down in a clear capsule inside the crocodile tank. I didn’t do it because I was too scared lol but it definitely looks unforgettable.
Overall, a very cool and unique experience in the heart of Darwin. Worth a visit!
On the negative side a lot of the enclosures for the Crocs and the other reptiles were in poor condition, what I mean is the Perspex was scratched or crazed or dirty, viewing was difficult or obstructed in many cases. Even the cage of death needed a polish to remove the scratching, also the radio mic needed new batteries as the PA kept dropping the voice of our guide.
Overall it was a very good experience and the staff were fabulous.
Crocosaurus Cove, on the other hand, absolutely exceeded my expectations. While its advertising leans toward the flashy — “Cage of Death,” “Swim with Crocs,” and similar thrill-oriented attractions — it would be a mistake to dismiss it as just another tourist spectacle. Behind the showmanship lies one of the best and most comprehensive collections of native Northern Territory reptiles I encountered anywhere in Australia.
The variety was outstanding — from a full lineup of venomous snakes to rare and regionally unique lizards and monitors, including species you’d be hard-pressed to find anywhere else. The displays were well-maintained and informative, and the animals looked healthy and active.
If you’re genuinely interested in Australia’s native reptile fauna, don’t overlook Crocosaurus Cove just because of its flashy marketing. It’s a real treasure for anyone passionate about reptiles and Australian wildlife. Highly recommended.
Feel for the crocs in such small enclosures and left wondering how this is even acceptable.
time in the Cage of Death experience. I have nothing but good things to say about
Crocosaurus Cove
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
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.
The staff are friendly and helpful.
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.
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.
