Snakes Downunder Reptile Park & Zoo
Snakes Downunder
A reptile park on the outskirts of Childers that keeps many Australian venomous snakes, lizards and crocodiles, with daily snake talks and demonstrations.
The reptile park is on the east side of Childers and focuses on Australian native reptiles. It keeps several venomous species, including inland taipans and eastern brown snakes, along with goannas, crocodiles and turtles. It also has marsupials such as kangaroos and wombats, as well as birds. Keepers give live talks and snake demonstrations every day, explaining how to identify and avoid venomous snakes. Under keeper supervision, visitors can also pose for photos with non-venomous pythons. It is a medium-sized park and takes about 1.5 hours. Tickets must be purchased in advance. It is family-friendly and can easily be combined with a visit to Childers.
