Definitely worth a visit if your passing through or staying in st helens.
The owners are very knowledgeable and have a genuine passion for what they do. The children are also amazing with the reptiles and great to chat with 😊
A great hands on experience, my son absolutely loved! We will definitely be returning again for a third time.

  Lots of snakes and reptiles, very informative and interactive, make sure you are there for the 12pm show.

  Cannot say enough nice things about this place! Staff are so nice and friendly. The building and facilities are always clean and well. And don’t even get my started on the enclosures themselves! I have seriously never seen such well though out and beautiful enclosures! The dedication towards the animals is also very entrusting.

  Looking for places to go on our trip, I stumbled upon the Serpentarium on my google search. This was by far the most enjoyable part of the trip.

This was my 1st time ever holding a snake and Matthew was amazing to listen to as he showed my 4yr old grandson how to hold Cuddles.

The tour of the Park from Matthew and assisted by Sammy was excellent. My grandson loved his time on his own special tour from Matthew's little guide Sammy.

The setting is outstanding, the snakes, turtles and Kangaroos are well cared for.

Excellent outdoor area to sit and have something to eat whilst watching the Turtles or the Kangaroos.

The admission fee is great value and the food and drinks great prices as well.

If you're up anywhere near St Helens, the Serpentarium is a must visit attraction.

  Fantastic! Not to be missed! The many displays, are not only very professional but also very creative. And the hands-on experience, lead by the very knowledgeable owner, will delight adults and children of all ages. It definitely exceeded my expectations.
The food at the café is also very good and reasonably priced. A group of us spent the whole afternoon there and were all very impressed.

  Wow what a place, as soon as we walked in the door we knew we were in for a good day as we were greeted by the owners white German Sheppard who accompanied us around for majority of our day there. We planned to go for maybe an hour or so and ended up being there for about 4. The entry cost to the serpentarium covers all of the activities inside, including feeding the kangaroos out the back. We were able to watch closely as he fed his two Macaw's which are just so majestic. Then he got out the three tortoises for some time in the sun and a feed, and then got out one of his snakes, which was a beautiful diamond python which everyone there was able to hold unassisted and he even took photos and videos for us on our phones. They also had another young carpet python out which I was able to hold for around 20-30 minutes straight which was very enjoyable experience. Then if you want to watch he also does some snake feeding if there is a hungry serpent. What a cool place!

  What an incredible experience!
One of our boys is obsessed with snakes and we all had such an amazing time here. We learned so much and enjoyed the whole experience.
Clean facilities, friendly owners and I highly recommend stopping by with your family 👌

  had an awesome day here with the kids! My partner and I both conquered our fears of snakes today. The staff were amazing and so accommodating, especially when it came to the kids. Will definitely be coming back 😊

  We could not recommend this place more. Jen and her family went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and share all of their amazing knowledge with us. 10/10 would love to visit again.

  To be honest I wasn't expecting all that much but was pleasantly surprised! Was a great experience, lots of information given by the staff and the reptiles seem happy.
Great experience would definitely recommend.

  I cannot recommend highly enough that anybody that visits St Helens should visit this establishment the owners have gone above and beyond what would be expected by anyone from this type of attraction and really give the visitors something to remember forever.
Thank you very much for giving my family and I your time and experience to let us share in your passion you have for these creatures. We now have memories we will take with us for the rest of our lives

  I had the best experience today. The guide had an amazing knowledge of all the animals and you can see he really cares about them. 100% recommend you come and visit

  We had such a great time, its only a small place but it was enjoyable, the grandchildren really enjoyed holding a snake and feeding the wallabies and we were luckily enough to be able to feed the tortoises.

  First visit was to the Serpentarium Wildlife Park, whose focus is on snakes but with other reptiles plus a few marsupials and even a pair of blue and gold Macaw thrown in. There are some Australian snakes but none who are venomous and an odd collection of exotic snakes, including a boa constrictor and an anaconda! We were given an excellent talk from one of the staff. Full of information and useful anecdotes. We were given ample opportunity to hold/caress/express love for the snake on display. We abstained. The small Bennet's Wallaby pair were cute and the Macaw were loud and colourful.

All of the snakes and lizards and even the Chinese turtles, were in glass cages appropriate for their size, contained in a building. I didn't really have a problem with the containment that I usually do as these animals have all been bred in captivity but I thought it was a pity there was an under representation of Australian animals. However, given the high proportion of Australian snakes which are highly venomous, it makes sense that they concentrate on those that are not.

It was an impressive facility and value for money,

  I had THE best experiences here. Went back twice whilst camping around St Helens. The snake enclosures are beautifully done. Matthew explains snakes well, is relaxed and helpful whilst people are learning to touch and hold them if they want to. There is also a lively family atmosphere at the serpentarium so people can simply enjoy in whatever way they choose

  Very well set up and really great staff. All the reptiles were really looked after and attention to detail in the displays was amazing. Very wheelchair accessible as well. Loved the 'junior wildlife warrior_ Sam' He was so cute. WELL WORTH A VISIT.

  We had a wonderful day with Mathew and his volunteers. We had an amazing hands on experience with many of the reptiles and up and personal encounters with others. We will most definitely be back! How lucky is Tassie to have this! A real hidden gem.

  Great little reptile park just outside of St Helens. Snake handling show at 12pm is the highlight for kids as well as feeding the kangaroos.

  Fantastic place run by lovely people.

  Absolutely wonderful. The staff are so friendly and welcoming and very knowledgeable. Put this place on your list it’s well worth the visit.

  We absolutely loved it and the kids also learned what to do in the bush if they see a snake..
you’ve got to keep your hands down they kept saying 😅🙌🏻💕

  This place is a gem! Thanks for a fantastic experience and interactions with Osiris and the tortoises. We looked up the Crystal Cave after a great chat about geology. We'll definitely be back for another visit!

  fantastic place to visit ,very friendly and welcoming, great for the whole family, easy access,thanks

  I really loved the experience at this place. May be little but the knowledge and love they have for their animals. Got to get up close and personal to the snakes and turtles.

  Well worth a visit! Friendly, knowledgeable staff, amazing displays, lots to see, very interesting and family friendly!

  Fantastic exhibit. Very informative and interactive. Very friendly. A+

  What a great little wildlife experience. Tucked away out the back of St Helens, this is well worth a visit. Get an up close and personal experience with snakes and other critters. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and I loved being greeted at the entrance by the very friendly white Alsatian doggy

  The kids loved this place and the owners wer great

  Fantastic experience, highly educational, incredible staff, clean, incredible

  Great place to visit. Very welcoming and friendly owners. Reptile enclosures well thought out and lots to look at. We spent about an hour here without kids.

  Great place to visit. Very welcoming and knowledgeable staff. We were able to hand feed the kangaroos, bottle feed the baby wallabies and pademelon as well as meeting some of the snakes, tortoises and lizards. The food in the cafe was good and reasonably priced.

  Fantastic experience! The owners were friendly and knowledgeable. The snakes, lizards, croc and tortoise were easy to see and enclosures clean and well lit. Lots to see everywhere we looked. Well priced. Staff went out of their way to make our experience an enjoyable one. Make sure you visit when next in St Helens, we'll be coming back.

  An absolute must see attraction for anyone interested in reptiles. You can tell by the beautifully well kept and decorated enclosures that the owners are totally invested in the care and welfare of these wonderful creatures. The reptiles are treated more like treasured pets, all with names and different personalities, and they even get to have outside time as well. Matthew is incredibly knowledgeable and spent a great deal of time with my daughter and I, and introduced us to Osiris the carpet python, who snuggled up to my daughter for about half an hour! It was an amazing experience that she will never forget. Could not recommend more highly.

  We were the only visitors at the Serpentarium, and was given a short introduction and then left to wander around which we appreciated. Very friendly dogs by reception and under control at all times. Staff clearly care for the all animals at the exhibit. A little gift shop at the entrance too, with helpful information provided for the rest of the afternoon to explore (Bay of Fires) and next day onwards to Low Head - thank you.

Snakes and reptiles in clean enclosures. Outside was the best bonus of all, rescued pandemelons and little wallabies. Able to feed which we enjoyed.

Upon leaving, a snake was taken out of it's enclosure and happily explored my neck and arms. An odd sensation, but well worth doing.

This was one of the highlights of our trip.

  A pleasant surprise, very informative and interactive. Great little cafe, yummy food

  Amazing! We luckily were the only ones at the Serpentarium so we had the keeper to ourselves letting us hold tortoises and touch the snakes. This wouldn’t happen normally but it shows they live their visitors. The cafe had good food for a wildlife park and very friendly staff all around and a lovely bird named rio who talks to you when your near him. I definitely recommend this place to you.

  Amazing loved my time here (denise and leo

  What a great experience. Come for the amazing reptiles and stay for the friendly, knowledgeable, enthusiastic and passionate staff. They guys provide a great service and experience. We got to cuddle a south American Anaconda. My 2 year old had a ball! I also hav3 to shout out the wonderfully arranged enclosures, very artistic and creative. Well done guys!

  A great experience, we thought we had missed the interactive experience but because they weren't that busy we got to hold a snake, on our own and around our necks together. Staff are well educated and more than willing to answer questions. A hidden Tasmanian gem of a place. My wife and I will definitely be going back.

  My family had a great time at the Serpentarium in St. Helen's! I will never forget it actually and will Return. Very reasonable pricing. Quite accessible. The variety of reptiles on display was bigger than expected, and we were thoroughly informed about each species by the knowledgeable staff and volunteers. The hands-on experience was a highlight, allowing us to interact closely with the reptiles, an unforgettable memory for all of us. What stood out the most was the genuine passion and dedication of the hosts, it wasn’t just a job or business but a love. They generously spent time and energy ensuring both the animals and visitors had a fantastic time. The children were captivated, and the adults were equally enchanted by the amazing reptiles. A must-visit for anyone seeking an educational and enjoyable day out with the family! 🐍🌿 thank you for your hospitality, we will be back

  Very astonishing and well thought out display. Definitely great inspiration. Owner was very kind to give us a behind the scene tour and let us hold some friendly snakes!

  An excellent experience for children and adults alike. We were able to handle tortoises and huge reptiles which was amazing. The presenter was absolutely wonderful with little children. A very welcoming and casual venue with a wide range of reptiles to see. Highly recommend.

  Fantastic and interactive experience!! The keepers are so enthusiastic and passionate about their work, and gave such an informative presentation. Well worth a visit!!

  Great Serpentarium! Definitely worth a visit!! Great for the children! The staff were lovely, patient and professional. We were able to handle a python and this was included in the admission fee. Thanks for making it a memorable experience for us!

  Totally unexpected fun! We noticed the sign to this place on our way in St Helens. I loved loved loved the turtles, my daughter loved the close encounter with the snakes, and we had such a wonderful personalised service, Jennifer just gave us all her attention, and their boys are just little warriors. This place is a must see!!!

  We had a great time at the serpentarium!
We were able to hold a python and learn more about all the reptiles there. The enclosures are very well done, with beautiful environments for the reptiles to enjoy.

Our young kids had a great time!

Would highly recommend for a family activity while visiting St Helen’s!

  Wonderful experience. The owners passion for his animals is outstanding. Very informative and great for kids.

  This place was really fantastic. The enclosures were really intricately decorated and you can tell the animals are well cared for. They allowed for lots of hands on interaction with the animals and we were provided with lots of interesting information. Well worth a visit and we look forward to visiting again next time we are in town.

  Fantastic place. Matthew and Jennifer are excellent hosts. Admission includes keeper’s talk and interactive session holding a snake with photos (on your phone). Excellent for families with young kids regardless of whether they love reptiles as the material is very accessible and staff super friendly. And they have an anaconda!

  Incredible park with friendly and knowledgeable staff members! We were lucky enough to experience 1 on 1 interactions with a few members of their park! We got to feed the kangaroos, handle and pet Dolly the Stimsons Python and had a little play with Tortellini the 7yr tortoise. A great time was had by all! Thanks for having us!
