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.

  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.

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

  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.

  Amazing little place. The owner and staff were super friendly and even allowed us to hold a few of the reptiles which made my partners day. I didn't try any of the coffee but they have a little cafe on site. A great place to visit if you want to see some restricted species that you won't see anywhere else in Tasmania. They have pythons, goannas, tortoises and an anaconda!

  Husband and wife team great, very informative.
We enjoyed the interaction with the python called cuddles.
Also lovely to see and hear about the endangered tortoise

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

  Incredible reptile experience at Serpentarium! The reptiles enclosures are immaculate and all the reptiles look healthy and happy! The carpet python handling experience is AMAZING! Staff are fabulous - friendly, helpful and ensure you get the most out of your reptile handling experience. Highly recommend - a must do on the East Coast!

  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.

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

  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.

  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

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

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

  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

  Best secret in St Helens. Amazing exhibit of pythons, and an incredible experience interacting with the animals. Great for couples, family or friends! Great to meet Russel the diamond python, and the team was amazing.

  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

  Fabulous place to visit, for adults and kids. Staff very friendly and lots of fun.
Snakes are amazing, beautiful enclosures.
My son on a walking stick during visit and staff super helpful.
Had to drag the teens home.

  Amazing loved my time here (denise and leo

  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!

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

  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 experience was intimate and throughly enjoyable. We got up close and friendly with a python and the tortoise family whilst they had their lunch.
Totally recommend the experience to everyone who visits St Helens.
The staff and owners were knowledgeable and friendly.

  Anaconda is the highlight of this place along with baby kangaroos

  This place was fantastic , great fun for all ages and abilities , facilities were imaculately clean and all the animals were extremely well looked after , the service was amazing , extremely knowlegeble and ultra friendly , getting to get up close and personal with the tortoise family and with cuddles the python was a highlight , highly recommend this to everyone

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

  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.

  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. 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!

  10/10 Would highly reccommend. great hands on experience with the snakes. Guides were informative and passionate (:

  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,

  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 😅🙌🏻💕

  Just Go!
Impressed with the genuine love for the animals and willingness to share this with visitors ..esp kids ..

  Today was the best!! Every one who worked there was so friendly and welcoming, the kids who volunteer telling us the fun facts they know was cute as. The entire place is spotless and every enclosure was immaculate, the reptiles are very well cared for and loved. Holding the snakes and tortoises was a unforgettable experience for my whole family. We will be back. 100%recommend to every one.

  Wonderful experience, the staff were friendly and helpful. We all got to hold and pat the snake. Would highly recommend. Thanks guys

  What an awesome day out
5 star service
Friendly staff
Fantastic coffee and entertainment
Animals to pat and cuddle and easy listening live music
Clean and well informed animal displays
Well done to a wonderful young family business
Will definitely recommend you to all Bnb guests, friends and fam
Thank you so much

  Absolutely amazing visit! The staff were very friendly, and the collection of beautiful animals is astounding. It is a small and growing business, with an excellent owner who seriously loves the animals. Today I held a snake named Cuddles, whose name did not mislead. She was a well tempered and beautiful snake. The owner was very good with children as there were small children that were shown how to handle the snake and seemed to have a wonderful time. The prices are very reasonable, with the staff always trying to provide the best price for the customers. The gift shop has a wide selection of appropriately priced goods. To anyone that is thinking about going to tasmania, and especially the east coast, this is a must to vist. If i ever come to tasmania again this will definitely be high priority.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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

  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.

  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.

  They are Very friendly and we had many good experience was so fun!!!

  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 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!

  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 👌

  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.

  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.
