Great way to get close to some large crocodiles as well as other aquatic animals and reptiles. Well worth the money

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families with children aged 6 and up who want a uniquely Australian wildlife encounter. The baby croc feeding included in standard admission is the immediate crowd-pleaser. The Cage of Death is suited to brave adults and teens. Smaller children may find the size of the saltwater crocodiles intimidating at close range.

Really enjoyed my visit to Crocosaurus Cove. I got to see some massive saltwater crocodiles up close, and the place offers a fun and interesting tour where you can learn more, explore the tanks, and even take photos inside. It’s a great experience for both adults and kids. 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!

My partner and I bought the VIP experience and we were grateful to meet Thomas! He made our trip extra special due to my partner and I being the only 2 for the day and took the time to explain and ask if we had questions and made it really enjoyable and fun! So Thomas if your reading this Thankyou! I would recommend coming here

Well worth a visit. Discount tickets avilable through bookme which we did. There is also the added option of swimming with a croc in a glass tube. Big reptile house and you can feed the baby crocs which is included in admission.
