  • 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

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  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 😅🙌🏻💕

    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  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.

    5 star review  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!

    5 star review  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

    5 star review  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!

    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.

    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!

    Paulo Montoya Avatar Paulo Montoya

    5 star review  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 Avatar Charles

    5 star review  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.
