Able to get up close to huge crocodiles. Underwater viewing into the fish tanks and crocodile tanks good. Feeding demonstrations good though the keeper doing the fish feeding was hard to hear and the microphone for the crocodile feeding kept breaking up. Reptile house interesting. Spent a couple of hours here. Wasn't very busy.

Out guide was Enno. He was a fantastic guide who provided heaps of information. We were the only ones in the group so felt very VIP. The cost included patting and holding a juvenile croc, feeding smaller crocs and a big boy! Finished off with a cuddle with a python. We were able to take our own photos throughout. 100% recommend, Value for Money 💰

Ticketing was a bit of a pain. We had to restart the ticketing, 3 times. I wish we'd realized that we could buy tickets there. Also the stop with the casino/gardens is really spread out. Would be nicer to have a couple of drop zones along there.
