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

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.

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! 😁

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

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

Tracey Gerrets
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 😊
Kirsten Vandermaat
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.
KDenehy
Over priced for what was shown. The snakes were very interesting and they had a wide variety. Staff were also interesting. But also couldn’t decipher who was staff and who wasn’t as there was a lot of small children wearing uniforms. Would go again if I had a small child with me.
Charles
Anaconda is the highlight of this place along with baby kangaroos
Ankit Gautam
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.
Casey G
This has to be hands down the best animal exhibit we have been to! As a family of 6 we definitely were questioning if we should go or not because of the price. But it is worth every dollar!!! Will definitely be recommending this to friends and family. Staff were so friendly, helpful and made sure everyone got to have a go. Thank you so much!

Jenny Chandler
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.

Nice and quiet environment, friendly owner and staffs! They treated the animals as though they were part of their family. We had a great time at Serpentarium and even got a chance to have had a close encounter with the carpet python and the joey. You can find a giant anaconda in its enclosure and we were lucky enough to see it move! Worth spending time and support this awesome business if you travel to St Helens. Kids would love to explore this place!

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!!!
Bea
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!
Berneice
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.

The Serpentarium Wildlife Park - St Helens.
If you are a reptile lover you will love this place! snakes, turtles, lizards and the giant green ANACONDA!
The heated indoor reptile exhibit and museum displays exotic captive breeds, unique indigenous artifacts with gem and crystal displays.

Very educational for everyone, the owners are absolutely wonderful and so welcoming and great with the kids.
Make sure to put it on your bucket list when travelling the NE of the state.

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.

Really good don't know about handling snakes not my think
Geoff Crisp
Unbelievable experience! Great range and knowledge of reptiles and got to lay around and play with Micky the anaconda, something you couldn’t do anywhere else in the world. Very well priced, Mathew and his team made the visit 100%. Will definitely return. Highly recommend.

Well I can’t speak highly enough of this family run business. They are so passionate about their wild life and so informative.
The Rio cafe is a must for a light lunch or just a coffee.
Thankyou Jennifer Matthew & family for a wonderful experience
Sue Mylonas
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.
Ruth Magan
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!
