An interesting talk but not that many exhibits and not possible to socially distance while looking at the critters.

Very informative, Aamie the host was nice and we got to hold the reptiles. Didn’t realise I was apprehensive to touching the snakes lol.

Not a bad centre, but after visiting the Desert Park we probably didn't need to stop in here. The hands on reptile show was the highlight, make sure to check the show times because we missed half of it.

Gday this was interesting but a bit dissapointing. Lots of reptiles including a big croc. Participation by my wife was great fun. Enclosures were a bit old and worn out i thought. I reckon they care about the animals but more funding needed. And maybe more activities.

Everyone must visit this reptile park. It is so well set out. Loved all the animals and the stories that are told on what these animals all are. The bird show was so good to see what these birds can do.

Excellent place to spend an hour or so. Friendly staff with a good 'hands on' experience if you are there at the right time. Lots of well presented snakes, lizards etc plus Terry the Saltwater croc outside. Opposite the RFDS museum so worth visiting together. Highly recommend

Jess was the guide who took us around the centre, we were in a group tour called A Town Called Alice, a half day tour of the town of Alice Springs.
It was great and Jess was fantastic. My fav animal was the Thorny Devil, the cutest thing ever!
Truly a good experience, not to be missed for kids as well as adults.
