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.

  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 😅🙌🏻💕

Make sure to put it on your bucket list when travelling the NE of the state.
open everyday from 11am-to 4pm, 7 days a week.

  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!

  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.

  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.

  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!

  The kids loved this place and the owners wer great

  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.

  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.

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

  Absolutely amazing snake and reptile centre, Matt and Jen have a huge passion for their animals. Informative,fascinating and hands on, brilliant for the kids and adults alike.

  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.

  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

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

  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.

  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.

  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

  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! 😁

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

  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.

  Definitely the best experience I have ever had. The staff are so nice and informative. Would recommend visiting even if you never thought you wouldn't like reptiles. We will definitely be returning customers. Thank you to all the staff for your time.

  Excellent animal displays, passionate and friendly staff, great hands on experience for the whole family

  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.

  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 👌

  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!

  Really good don't know about handling snakes not my think

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

  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.

  What an incredible experience. We were fortunate to visit when it was quiet and the snake experience we had exceeded all expectations. The team were excellent and provided an unbelievable experience for my four year old and me, mum on the other hand wasn’t so keen on being close to the snakes. Thanks to the team!

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

  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.

  Very good, you get to hand feed kangaroos and pet them. We got to hold snakes and pet turtles. Beautiful animals and kind staff. Definitely recommend.

  This place is superbly put together with very animal friendly enclosures+ an absolutely first class educational tour. And I don't even like snakes! Top facility

  Very well organised small but comprehensive reptile park.. staff very welcoming and knowledgeable. Each display was very well thought out and displays were clean and spacious.

  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.

  A wonderful hands on experience for all.

This has to be the best kept conservation zoo we've visited in Tasmania. Exceptionally clean and well kept reptile displays, with knowledgeable handlers and volunteers.

Such important work to care and rehabilitate reptiles illegally gained and mistreated.

  We had such a good time at the Serpentarium! We felt so welcome at this family run business and the exhibits were really interesting. The kids had a ball holding Cuddles the black headed python and feeding the tortoises. Good value for money.

  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!

  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

  Had a great day today great park to visit we really enjoy it customer service was second to none and the animals are so loved would highly recommend this place

  Anaconda is the highlight of this place along with baby kangaroos

  Wondful experience. What they lack in exhibits, they make up for in close hands on interactions. The team made sure everyone had some time with the snakes, were very informitive, helpful, friendly, and eager to please. Very long drive but would return again.

  Such a great morning out. Kids and adults alike thoroughly enjoyed the animals and atmosphere. Super friendly hosts, even down to the dogs that greet you at the front door. Very hands on, and just enough information to keep us interested but not bored. Good value for money. Highly recommended.

  Wow! Wow!
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

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

  The staff are amazing, the serpentarium is great for all ages and very interactive highly recommend

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