We visited this place on our way back from the Iwahig Prison and Penal Farm. The entrance fee is PHP 40.00 per person. The tour begins at the entrance area of the building with the tour guide discussing about the facility and its rescue efforts. Emphasis was placed on not taking pictures during the tour and to be careful with... More

While Crocodiles mostly are creatures that mostly evoke fear, the center is a good place to start to try to change some views on these creatures. There is a guide to tour you along with a set number of other guests and you get to be up close to crocodiles, starting with the babies up to the adult ones. More

I have been here for 4x already, and it seems that the place has deteriorated and needs more improvement. The guide I had this time seemed to not be as excited to do his job. Maybe its because he has done the tour for so many times and it seemed mechanical and robotic... Its still part of the city tour.... More

the crocodiles were cool, the wildlife rescue and conservation portion was a joke. this part was unguided, easy to get lost, in a jungle with immense humidity, many of the cages were rotting away, and no signs to identify animals and many of the cages were empty. More

It is just right to call this the Crocodile Farm and nothing more. There were very few cages with animals in it. The walkways and bridges were murky and dilapidated so be careful. We were told to follow the arrows since only the crocodile farm area is guided. Unfortunately, there were no signs and even most of the cages had... More

This is just me but im not sure if crocodile conservation also means selling crocodile meat. I enjoy looking at animals but was wondering why they were selling crocodile meat products after the tour. I was also hoping to see other animals and read about them but the place lacked info boards and the cages were not kept well. The... More

If you love to eat exotic foods then try crocodile meat. They're selling crocodile meat and you can eat it there. If you want to touch and carry small crocodile, you can do it near at the entrance and take some pictures. You can also see some animals in their farm More
