Kids love this place, where they can drape a python around their neck or have a bearded dragon (lizard) perch on their shoulders. Rex, the easygoing proprietor, helps you get the best photos and lets kids hand-feed bugs to the animals at feeding time. More than 50 species are on display, including the world’s deadliest land snake (the taipan) and big goannas. Also here are brown snakes, death adders, and mulga, otherwise known as king brown snakes. Don’t miss the saltwater croc exhibit featuring underwater viewing. The best time to visit is between 11am and 3pm, when the reptiles are at their most active. There are talks at 11am and 1 and 3:30pm. Allow an hour or so.
