Crocodylus Park
A crocodile research and display centre on the eastern outskirts of the city, with more than a thousand crocodiles, scheduled feeding talks and the chance to hold baby crocodiles for photos.
Crocodylus Park was founded by crocodile researcher Graham Webb. It keeps more than a thousand saltwater and freshwater crocodiles, as well as lions, lemurs, cassowaries and other animals. Guided tours and feeding shows run at set times daily. You can take a boat trip to see giant crocodiles leap out of the water, and for an additional fee, you can hold a baby crocodile for a photo. It has a more natural, outdoor feel than Crocosaurus Cove in the city centre. It is about 15 km from the city centre, reached by car or taxi. Check the official website for admission prices.
