I had a great time with my 5yo son and all the staff were excellent. Jason was fantastic with his knowledge and giving my son the most of his experience there. And another lovely lady (sorry can't remember her name) who let me have a hold of the larger python. Exceeded expectations and worth the money for the full experience.

When you arrive, the first thing you think is that this is a small place and that you will be in and out in an hour tops. And the truth is, it is small. Once in however, you are going to find the rays, sharks, birds, lizards, snakes, turtles and butterfly’s so interesting that the time will simply fly by and like us you will wonder where 3hrs went. The staff are super friendly and very helpful. Throughout our visit they would walk over and ask if we had questions, and without being asked share some really interesting facts about the animals. And don’t be surprised if you feel a tap on your shoulder and turnaround to find a member of staff offering you the opportunity to hold a lizard or snake. You can gently touch most of the rays and sharks, spend some time in the aviary with various birds who will sit on you and feed from your hand and eat some lunch (prepared on site) in a room with a fish tank ceiling. If you’re visiting the area I would strongly recommend putting a few hours aside to explore the Shark and Ray centre.

I don’t know of anywhere like it! We all had fun - ranging from 3yrs to 70yrs. If going, really worth taking swimwear so you can get in the tanks and walk around with rays, sharks and eels! But very hands on even if not in the tanks. A cool and memorable experience, highly recommend. Thanks to Jason who wandered around with various reptiles to hold and answer any questions.
