  • 5 star review  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

  • 5 star review  Absolutely incredible, the reptiles on display are well presented in their encolusures. The staff are wonderful and ensure everyone enjoys the full experience of snake handling and turtle feeding. There are also a few tame furry and feathered friends to add to the experience. Nice little Cafe for coffee and snacks here aswell. Serpentarium Wildlife Park is a must visit.

  • 5 star review  This was our second visit after recommending it to our parents for years, we finally got them here! Such an awesome experience each time, the whole family had a go at snake handling, the snakes are always very relaxed and happy to hang about. We always recommend this place to friends and family when travelling to St Helens, definitely make the effort to come take a look! 😁

  • 5 star review  Matthew is so knowledgeable about all his reptiles and snakes and Jen and all the keepers are so helpful. The animals are so well kept and loved and respected this is hands down the only place to experience these animals. To be up close and personal with a green anaconda is incredible and the pythons are so comfortable being held. We are from Hobart but always call in for a visit to our favourite snakes Scales, Mickey and Cuddles

  • 5 star review  The serpentarium in st Helen’s is one of the best I have been too. The owners are extremely dedicated to their beautiful animals and put all their heart and soul into everything they do. You can see just by visiting how well they are looked after and how dedicated each person who works there not only the owners in what they do. The interaction with the public and the shared knowledge not only to adults but our youth is so invaluable but a must. The up and personal encounters are very awesome too. Where else would I get to touch, sit and see one of the worlds biggest snakes. Mickey you will always be my favourite oh and of course matt and Jen. Do yourself a favour everyone and visit, volunteer even donate to this awesome place. I will be back

    5 star review  Such a great set up. We took our son and friends for his 8th birthday and it was the perfect morning out. They got to hold tortoises, snakes and loved the interaction with the blue macaw. The owners are lovely and so caring about how the reptiles are treated. A great morning out for the family.

    5 star review  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.

    Chris Campbell Avatar Chris Campbell

    5 star review  Thoroughly enjoyed my experience at the serpentarium with the owner Matt. Got there just in time for the roo feeding and presentation, both very accessible for everyone and a fun experience. We learned a lot about snakes and were able to hold two pythons and interact with the Indian Star Tortoises while they wandered about the place. The anaconda is a sight to see as well!
    Highly recommend, especially for anyone nervous about holding a snake, Matt will help you to feel comfortable and safe.

    Elliot Redwin Avatar Elliot Redwin

    5 star review  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.

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!

    5 star review  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!

    5 star review  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.

    5 star review  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.
