About
Crocosaurus Cove allows visitors a unique, up close and personal view of massive saltwater crocodiles, crocodile hatchlings, juveniles as well as being home to the World’s largest display of Australian reptiles and the famous Cage of Death. The Cage of Death is the only cage in the world that brings you face to face with some of the largest Saltwater Crocodiles in captivity. Remember to bring your bathers and ‘Swim with the Crocs’ in our unique swimming area that allows you to get up close to our very active juveniles. Don’t miss the chance to feed these hungry juveniles as part of our latest attraction, "fishing for crocs" ...this is a photo opportunity not to be missed. Meet the reptiles and learn more about the Top End’s unique and favourite critters such as Western Bearded Dragons and Olive Pythons. Check out the barramundi in our 200,000 litre freshwater aquarium and don’t forget our gorgeous top end turtle enclosure. All this and a daily program of fun & interactive reptile activities await you at Crocosaurus Cove, in the heart of Darwin City.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit, which included a tandem Cage of Death experience. The Cage of Death lived up to expectations, being an up close, thrilling and adrenaline filled time. We also enjoyed the other displays and special presentations put on by staff. The animals are well presented in purpose built enclosures. Found all staff to be very knowledgeable and able to answer any questions with a degree of expertise. I would definitely recommend Crocosaurus Cove as a must visit in Darwin

Can't believe this was within walking distance of our accommodation. Very informative and the staff are knowledgeable and very friendly. Compact, but packs a punch with information.

Visited 2022 and very disappointed. Dirty unkept. Could not wait to leave. I should not have visited to start with. I would rather see Crocodiles in their natural environment.

Great !!!! The only downside was the ladder. It was not easy to cling on to the "steps", I can imagine accidents being likely. I suggest a new type of ladder with steps as opposed to rails, could be a zero funds outlay if tied in with a ladder supplier who could use the application it is being put to use for in a mutually beneficial advertising campaign. Also showers need a bit of spruce up. Still Great Experience.

Worst tour guide ever!! I have been on tours all over the world for VIP and let me tell you this person was less enthusiastic to be there than I’ve ever seen anyone to work somewhere in a long time other than that I had a fabulous time learning about the crocodiles and all the awesome reptiles if I had a different tour guide I think I would give it five stars or more if I could! Cage of death was the most awesome experience and holding crocodiles was very cool to

I absolutely loved visiting and was so excited to go to the cage of death and do the VIP tour to learn more info about the baby crocodiles & reptiles but I had the worst guide ever with less enthusiasm to be there I felt like I had to beg to be seen on a three people tour and ask questions and felt very ignored & never had felt like this ever on a vip tour
If u had a different guide I would give 5 stars prob only issue!

I have to say this place exceeded my expectations. The facility is great and the staff even better. Everyone there was very friendly and knowledgeable and just added to the fun. We did the Cage of Death and had a great time. A couple of tips if going in the Cage: wear your swim suit there and change into dry clothes after (saves time up front!), and if you use a prescription mask or goggles bring them along. We don't usually go for photo packages, but in this case it is worth the extra cost. Even if you have your own underwater camera, having them take pictures really allows you to focus on the experience.
