As you approach Crocosaurus Cove, you'll notice a modern building with vibrant signage and glass frontage on your left. It’s quite eye-catching with large images of crocodiles plastered across the exterior, so it’s hard to miss!
Welcome to Crocosaurus Cove! Get ready to dive into the wild world of reptiles. This indoor-outdoor venue is the place to meet the local “celebrities” of Darwin-and by celebrities, I mean the crocs, of course! Crocosaurus Cove boasts the largest display of Australian reptiles and is home to magnificent creatures from the Top End of the Northern Territory, Kimberley, and beyond.
Feeling brave? You can jump into the "Cage of Death" and have an up-close-and-personal encounter with these giants of the water-safely behind a glass barrier, of course. You can also spot Burt, the famous 700-kg, 5.1-meter-long croc who starred in "Crocodile Dundee". Besides crocs, the facility houses venomous snakes, like the king brown and the inland taipan, numerous Australian pythons, and the extremely rare Oenpelli python. There’s also a massive 200,000-litre freshwater aquarium filled with whiprays, barramundi, turtles, and more.
The park is owned by Mick Burns, who also owns the Darwin Crocodile Farm. And speaking of famous residents, we can’t forget their psychic croc Burt, who made headlines for his "predictions" during the 2018 Soccer World Cup!
As you explore Crocosaurus Cove, you’ll notice the facility's success in breeding-like the baby crocs from proud parents Kate and William born in July 2022. So, whether you're looking to marvel at magnificent creatures or partake in adrenaline-pumping experiences, Crocosaurus Cove has got something to excite everyone. Enjoy your visit, but remember, no arm-wrestling with Burt!
