Additional entertainment during theJurassic Zooevent series, will be daily show featuring the park’s resident crocodilians - the closest living relative and ancient cousins of the dinosaurs. Australian Reptile Park icon Elvis, a 5 metre Saltwater Crocodile renowned to be the crankiest croc in Australia, will befed dailyduring a thrill seeking show demonstrating the strength of his snapping jaws, capable of crushing the skull of prey as large as a water buffalo.
Deadly and dangerousJurassic Zoo!events extend into the park’s lagoon, home to 50 American Alligators. Their daily feeding show consists of park keepers entering the danger zone of the lagoon, and dangling their food over a walking plank, whilst tempting the giant reptiles to launch high out of the water allowing visitors to marvel at their erratic jaw snapping for food. The Australian Reptile Park is bringing back the popular Alligator Feeding encounters that was launched in December 2020 where visitors have the once in a lifetime opportunity (if they dare!) to feed the giant Alligators themselves.
Roving keepers at Australian Reptile Park will also be wandering around with a variety of scaly reptiles and cuddly mammals for guests to meet and greet. To really get up close and personal with The Australian Reptile Park residents, guests can book either aBehind-The-Scenes touror one of the popular and interactiveKids 2 Keepers programs.
