Only 60 minutes from Sydney or Newcastle, Australian Reptile Park is a centrepiece attraction of the greater Central Coast, Hunter Valley and Port Stephens regions.

Australian Reptile Park

 

The Australian Reptile Park and Wildlife Sanctuary was established in 1958 – by the late and great Eric Worrell, Australia's first naturalist - and is now regarded as one of the country's premier attractions. The Sanctuary is the only zoo in Australia committed to saving lives with a Venom-Milking Program in place for the past 50+ years, saving over 300 lives each year being the sole supplier of a variety of venoms, which is used for all snake and funnel-web anti-venom in Australia.

Exhibits
  • Lost World of Reptiles

    Entry to The Lost World of Reptiles can only be gained through the gaping jaws of a 30-metre-long model crocodile. Just inside the croc-mouth, an animated Egyptian mummy urges visitors through to the exhibits. The Lost World of Reptiles is home to some of the park's reptile collection including Australia's most venomous snakes, the King cobra, a 5.5 metre long Reticulated Python, Leonardo the Alligator Snapping Turtle as well as various snake, lizards, crocodilians, turtles and tortoises.

     

  • Spider World

    One of the most exciting Australian zoo developments in a very long time is Spider World. Visitors to the Australian Reptile Park have the opportunity to find out everything they ever wanted to know about spiders - including a sneak peek into the life-saving spider milking venom room. Spider World puts the 'fun' back into 'funny' with lots of interaction for the kids, while at the same time providing visitors with a greatly improved understanding and education of the eight-legged world.

     

  • Eric's Nature Walk

    Eric's Nature Walk is set in a beautiful bushland setting and features Nocturnal House, an aviary filled with gorgeous native birds as well as an interactive display of a typical frog pond. The walk is named after the beloved saltwater crocodile, Eric, who was the Park's main attraction between 1989 and 2007, a memorial is located within Eric's Nature Walk. It also features some beautiful native plants, including the spectacular local species of waratah.

     

  • Elvis' Croc Exhibit

    Elvis the crocodile arrived at the park in September 2007, and has been dubbed Australia's crankiest crocodile. Elvis was originally from Darwin in the Northern Territory, he was removed from the wild as he was attacking fishing boats in Darwin Harbour. In December 2011, Elvis lost two teeth during an attack on park staff and their lawnmowers. He is always wowing visitors to the Park at feeding time (Weekends and Holidays only) when he shows off his aggression towards the keepers and his food.

     

  • Alligator Lagoon

    The Australian Reptile Park has the largest population of American alligators in Australia. They are kept in the large naturalistic lagoon, with over 40 adult alligators living harmoniously together in a manner that isn't possible with their more aggressive relatives, Australian crocodiles. The lagoon is very similar to their natural environment and the climate experienced here on the Central Coast which mirrors that of the everglades.

     

  • Nocturnal House

    The Nocturnal House showcases some of Australia's most unique and endangered nocturnal species. The first Noctarium in the Southern Hemisphere was actually built at the Wyoming Australian Reptile Park in the early 1970's by Eric Worrell. The new Nocturnal House is a fitting tribute to this great naturalist and the founder.

     

  • Frog Hollow

    Frog Hollow allows you to discover fascinating frogs, each adapted ingeniously for survival in a wide variety of locations. The displays include frog species native to Australia, as well as giving visitors the chance to see the infamous cane toad. Get ready to have a toadally ribbiting experience.

     

  • Platypus House

    Platypus house is home to the resident Platypus Yaro , as well as an array of native birds and fish. Visitors enjoy an intimate encounter with the mysterious Platypus in its captivating nocturnal creek habitat complete with waterfall. A complicated set of burrowing tunnels connect Yaro's nocturnal creek to an outdoor pond set up with nest boxes.
