The Cage of Death is the only cage in the world that brings you face to face with some of the largest Saltwater Crocodiles in captivity. Remember to bring your bathers and ‘Swim with the Crocs’ in our unique swimming area that allows you to get up close to our very active juveniles. Don’t miss the chance to feed these hungry juveniles as part of our latest attraction, "fishing for crocs" ...this is a photo opportunity not to be missed. Meet the reptiles and learn more about the Top End’s unique and favourite critters such as Western Bearded Dragons and Olive Pythons. Check out the barramundi in our 200,000 litre freshwater aquarium and don’t forget our gorgeous top end turtle enclosure. All this and a daily program of fun & interactive reptile activities await you at Crocosaurus Cove, in the heart of Darwin City. « less

The entrance has a motion detector with fish that my boys spent ages trying to catch! They LOVED feeding the crocs too. They are 2 and 5, so this was right up their street. The food area has Jenga blocks, big snakes and ladders etc for the kids to play with while mom and dad take a break. We loved... More

I don't understand why people pay to be placed in a plastic tube then submerged in a croc cage. Anyway the numerous reptiles, fish, amphibians and of course crocodiles are well worth the visit. Make sure you are there for some of the feeding events because the staff are very friendly and informative. I found this very enjoyable. More

Like others on this site, I was concerned it might be a bit cheesy and we'd spent the day before at Kakadu and saw crocodiles in the wild, but very happy we decided to visit and spent a full afternoon there. I was with my 14 yo daughter and we had a great time, watched the reptile show, turtle feeding,... More
