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.

- Mick T7 contributionsReturn Visit, Still Very GoodFirst visited the Cove in 2018 and thought we would have another look. The VIP tour is great and our guide Ellis was very knowledgable. We loved being able to handle a baby croc and a woma python before feeding Burt, one of the stars in Crocodile Dundee. Being a reptile breeder myself, I enjoyed the variety in the reptile house and feeding juvenile crocs.Visited March 2024Traveled with familyWritten March 18, 2024
- Jess_SPSouth Australia, Australia118 contributionsI wanna hold a snake!What a great couple of hours spent here. Holding snakes, lizards, baby crocodiles… The kids overcome their fears. They also have a pool area in front of the juvenile crocs the kids can take a dip in. Watch the croc jaw snap, the feeding of the crocs inside the pens and then went and grabbed some lunch. Their souvenir shop sells some cool merchandise but if you buy a drink bottle up stairs in the kiosk, you get it filled with ice cold water.. and trust me, you’ll need it. Great insulated bottles. Used it for the whole trip.Visited March 2024Traveled with familyWritten March 22, 2024
- ScubaGirlMelbourne24 contributionsVIP tour enjoyable with lots of hands on experiencesThis place was an easy walk from Hilton Darwin surrounded by restaurants and convenience stores. We purchased a VIP tour which we enjoyed. My 8 and 9 year old boys dislike the heat and were irritable when walking around prior to the tour commencing. The thoughtful guide gave us each a bottle of chilled water and we started the tour in an air conditioned room looking at models and skeletons of crocs. Then we all got to hold a baby croc (with mouth taped shut). Next stop was to feed kangaroo meat to small to medium size crocs (one turn each). Then we got to meet Burt, a huge croc with one eye and one missing leg and each got to feed him too. The last stop was the reptile house where we got to hold a skink and a python and pat a Monitor lizard. The guide was knowledgeable and enthusiastic (she loves Orcas, but I can’t recall her name). For us this was a great opportunity to experience something different in an intimate group (max 8 people). Our boys did not last to see the shows(!) so I can’t compare the VIP experience with the shows but the hands on component of the VIP experience was wonderful and managed to keep my boys from whinging about the hot weather for almost its entire 1.5 hour duration! So although not cheap, $283.77 for 2 adults and 2 kids, the hands on experiences were fantastic.Visited March 2024Traveled with familyWritten March 30, 2024
- TanjaRKhosLucerne, Switzerland62 contributionsGreat trip with "cage of death"Crocosaurus Cove was a great trip. It wasn't that busy, not too many people, it was very pleasant and we had enough time to look at the animals. The highlight was being in the "Cage of Death" right next to the big crocodile in the pool. That was exciting. Although Baru wasn't very active, we really enjoyed it. It was a great experience to be so close to a crocodile. Thank you for the good care.Hi Tanja, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you had an exciting visit to Crocosaurus Cove.

- Georgie M7 contributionsCage of death a mustIn the 12 years that I have lived in Darwin, I had never been to Croc cove until a friend visiting from Melbourne suggested doing the cage of death. What an amazing experience! The photos taken were also superb. I returned a couple of days later with my 5yo son after scoring a locals pass. He had coincidentally been there the same day as my ftiend and I with his preschool) He got to press a button on the bite force machine and loved it. The staff are super friendly and knowledgeable not to mention the beautiful reptiles and fish on display. There is no doubt that we will return.Hey Georgie M, Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We're delighted you enjoyed the Cage of Death and had such a memorable time, so glad you finally made it into us after living in town for such a long time!! Thanks visiting friend!! It's great to hear that your son had fun with the bite force machine as well! We take pride in providing a friendly and knowledgeable environment for all our guests, and we're glad you found the displays of reptiles and fish so engaging. I hope you make the most of your locals pass and use all the discount to other local venues. Keep an eye out for our family fun activities we run through the park each year, your son would love them!

- Cherry6888Buninyong, Australia3 contributionsWorth the moneyAttended for the croc cage experience but was really unsure whether or not it would be worth the money. But it most definitely was ! Only concern is that only 4 crocs get to participate and there are about 8 sessions a day so not sure how good this is for the crocs on a daily basis???Hi Cherry6888, Thank you for sharing your experience with the Cage of Death dive! We're glad to hear you found it worthwhile. We understand your concern about the number of times the crocodiles perform for the COD daily, but please rest assured that the well-being of our animals is a top priority, and our team carefully monitors their health and activity to ensure they're not overworked. This is much like training a dog, they need the enrichment and they enjoy it... And believe me, if they don't want to play the game, we don't force it!! They are much bigger and much scarier than us and they will only do what they want to do. If you would like to discuss your concerns any further, please feel free to email our team on sales@croccove.com. We are more than happy to answer any questions you have regarding this or any other topic relating to our animals.

- Capt_FunkeliciousSydney, Australia675 contributionsGet your Crocodile fixlet's face it - you're in darwin and you want to see a crocodile. and whilst the chances of you seeing one on a beach in darwin varies depending on who you talk to, there's certainly an element of calm knowing at crocosaurus cove you're seeing them safely. i have the same element of debate in my mind at any type of zoo, wondering about the welfare of whatever captive i'm viewing. and in this case be it goanna, snake or crocodile, i'm sufficiently impressed to put those moral dilemmas to one side. there's a lot to see here, some of it in air conditioned comfort. and it's different too - not your "normal" zoo.Hi Capt_Funkelicious, Thank you for your thoughtful review and we're glad you appreciated the unique experience Crocosaurus Cove offers. It's true, seeing these magnificent reptiles up close in a safe environment can bring peace of mind. We understand your concerns about wildlife in captivity, and we’re committed to ensuring the well-being of all the animals in our care. Please see our animal welfare statement on our website - https://www.crocosauruscove.com/crocosaurus-coves-animal-welfare-statement/ Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us and we hope to see you again one day.Written October 6, 2024This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited September 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten September 11, 2024
- julieo63Pokolbin, Australia705 contributionsCrocs galoreHubby & I had a limited time in Darwin as we were visiting on a cruise ship. I bought the VIP pass (in advance, which included our entry). we were able to feed the baby crocs and hold a teeny croc. Definitely worth the money. Didn't realise that we could get in a pool of water next to one of the croc tanks. Would definitely bring our swimmers and a towel and do this next time.Hi julieo63, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience! We're so glad you and your husband enjoyed your visit, especially the unique opportunity to feed and hold the baby crocs. It sounds like you made some unforgettable memories! Yes, the Swimming with Crocs pool is a fantastic way to cool off whilst getting up close with the juvenile crocodiles - thanks for mentioning it.

Loved it! We booked the VIP tour for the whole family and husband also did the ‘Cage of Death’ experience.
Enno was our guide for the VIP tour, he was super friendly, professional, and very informative. We (2 adults 3 kids) all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would recommend for anyone interested in crocs/reptiles.

The cage of death is a must do! Don't stress about the cost, it is worth every cent! You can always make more money but you don't get to be that close to a BIG croc in the water and survive to tell the tale every day so just do it. The keepers get the croc to move around you pretty well but I found talking to the croc and trying to keep eye contact really helped to keep him engaged too. We even got a 'kiss' from our croc when he intentionally rammed (gently) the cage nose first right where my nephews face was and then he repeated the same thing for me. It was awesome!
I highly recommend the VIP tour to get up close and personal with many of the local residents. The guide was awesome and very knowledgeable.
Do the photo packages. They are professional standard and worth every cent. Your iPhone or Pixel is not going to take the same quality pics. We compared ours and the pro out did our phones every time.
The crocs were amazing, the reptile display was pretty awesome and the staff were all really friendly. If you are in Darwin for any amount of time, this place is a must do.

We went on about 4 boat tours in the NT to see crocs in the wild (see Croc Bus review for the best) but Crocosaurus Cove is completely complimentary to such tours as it shows you so much of what the crocs do under water, and at close quarters. There are about 4 "tanks" in which crocs are housed. You can view from both above and under the water and it is the latter which offers the perspective unique to Crocosaurus Cove. The water is clear (unlike the muddy opaque waters in the wild) so you can see everything: crocs lying motionless under water for long periods of time, in one tank two crocs interacting under water, crocs swimming to acquire food from above at prescribed feeding times. One tank facilitates members of the public with a couple of hundred dollars to spare to swim with a croc but inside a perspex cylinder. That is interesting to observe from under the water as the croc is encouraged to circle the person by being thrown morsels of food.
There are other displays of fish, turtles and snakes but the crocs are the star of the show. Make sure you time your visit to see the croc feeding (when we were there, 11.30am). Overall, an excellent way to become familiar with crocs at relatively close quarters, as well as learn lots of interesting croc facts from the multitude of posters around the museum answering posed questions about the species. There is a cafe eatery with tables with a limited selection of food for lunch.

My husband and I knew we wanted to see crocs (safely thanks) and had decided on a visit here despite thinking it might perhaps be “too touristy”. Daughter then gave us a VIP tour and croc feeding experience as a Christmas gift, knowing we were planning on going and I’ve got to say that was a BRILLIANT gift. Being mid week in wet season, with schools just gone back, it was super quiet and we got fantastic views of absolutely every display. What we hadn’t expected was how amazing the tour (taken by Will) would be with his huge knowledge, excellent ability to chat the hind leg off a wombat and friendly manner. Seriously this was brilliant. Couldn’t recommend highly enough.

This is a unique city center animal experience with Salt Water Croc's the main attraction. The highly marketed "Cage of Death" is a bit overrated, I recommend the private tour which is educational and has some animal interactions not available to regular visitors.
If you have a young herpetologist in your family, this a good, albeit small, adventure. My son rated it worth the trip. Certainly not to the same standard as the zoos in Sydney and Melbourne, but with its own special interest. If the small aquarium tank was cleaner and more visible, with a few more fish and marine animals, then better.
Staff are friendly and informative

Staff at Entry were very helpful. Purchased the VIP Croc experience. Guide was very helpful, friendly and had a wonderful knowledge of the intricacies of crocodiles, and other reptiles. We were surprised at the ingenuity of the crocodile bodily structure which was amazing. We fed the large crocodile, hand held the little ones and larger one, and other reptiles. Overall a terrific Tour. Highly recommended and worthy the purchase price.. Other children who attended the tour with us were delighted.

I recently experienced the Cage of Death at Crocosaurus Cove. No words or photos can do the experience justice. Truly fantastic experience and coming eye to eye with a huge crocodile and seeing their lighting quick reflexes is an experience I'll never forget.

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

The large iconic lizards of the Northern Territory – “the Crocodiles” were showcased in Crocosaurus Cove, where we were able to see them up close and see them leap almost vertically out of the water to catch bites. A keeper demonstrated the power of the Crocodile jaw through a mechanical stimulator and it was amazing to observe the speed and the thrust it created on a piece of ice they have kept as the bait. The ice cube cracked in to bits by its sheer force. Apart from the live saltwater crocodiles they had beautiful specimens of fresh water fish like Barramundi, Archer fish, Whiprays and other species abundantly living in the internal water bodies. A keeper explained the feeding of these fish. A reptile enclosure had the poisonous reptiles and other lizards. The museum area had some interesting displays, from which, we liked the skulls of the saltwater and the freshwater crocodile. The differences we observed was the shape of them; the broad one belonged to saltwater and the narrow long one belonged to the freshwater. They had a baby Croc to photograph with. It was an interesting encounter with Crocodiles.

Can the glass break when crocodiles bump on the glass?
Is it safe to be in glass when you are lowered into cage of death? Do water come into the glass when you are in the pool with crocodiles?
Are glass crocodile-proof protecting you if crocodiles bump into the glass?
Written April 25, 2017
No the cage is hard plastic and won't break. Yes the water comes in the cage but there is a space that is free of water so you are safe. It is fun and really safe

Hi ,I am going to Darwin soon and wants to try the cage of death! Here are a few questions:
1) What is the best timing to go so the crocs will be very active? (1pm?....morning?...etc)
2) Will the crocs be fed near to the cage? so i can see them very close to me?
3) Will the staff take photos / videos for me while i am in there? How much is the charges?
4) Can i bring my own camera in there?
5) How high is the water level in the cage? Do i need to trap water all the way ?
6) Do i need to bring my own goggles?
Written November 8, 2015
Hi @Imza86
Thank you for your questions.
1) What is the best timing to go so the crocs will be very active? (1pm?....morning?...etc)
As reptiles are cold blooded animals, the hotter the weather the more energy they have. Between Oct-Apr the weather is pretty warm up here in Darwin, so any time of the day works well. As we feed the reptiles on most occasions, this also ensures an up close experience whilst in the cage.
2) Will the crocs be fed near to the cage? so i can see them very close to me?
Yes, as per above. You will generally get a face to face encounter! The cage is a few inches thick, so it's VERY close!
3) Will the staff take photos / videos for me while i am in there? How much is the charges?
Yes you can get a/ a Go-Pro to take into the cage & this footage and b/ A photography package of stills from the outside of the cage, through the viewing windows (see our Facebook page for examples) on a disk for $99.95.
4) Can i bring my own camera in there?
Yes you are free to do this also.
5) How high is the water level in the cage? Do i need to trap water all the way ?
The level depends on the position of the cage, however for most of the experience you can stand up and there is no need to tread water.
6) Do i need to bring my own goggles?
These are supplied.
Check us out on twitter, instagram and Facebook to see a range of photos from this week and what's been happening at the attraction!

I think you visited Crocodylus Park....no lions or boats in Crocosaurus Cove :)....perhaps if their was it would be a better attraction to visit lol!
Written June 19, 2015
Hi, my review was for Crocosaurus Cove in the city. It certainly isn't able to hold lions, tigers etc. but it does have a lot of very large crocs. As mentioned previously, you can swim with the crocs in a cage. Very exciting for some. It also has a large reptile section that is very well done. It is worth a visit. I have not been to the Crocodylus Park so cannot comment on that.
Written June 20, 2015
Are the crocodiles active while in the cage? I Have read reviews and seen a lot of people say that they barley move!
Written June 10, 2015
The animal activity is unpredictable and not guaranteed but the staff move you on to another enclosure if the croc in one is not active. They also use food to entice them around you. The first pool I was in the female was very active but the big male wasn't so they moved me into another pool (the 'cage' is on a crane so easy and quick to move) where the big guy was very compliant:)
I hope you enjoy your swim

The crocs like to feed all day. The ones in the tank will be fed while you are in the tank on your way up. Pretty scarey. Enjoy.
