The Australian Reptile Park is OPEN! On 1 June 2020, we reopened in a careful and responsible way with all social distancing measures and COVID-safe procedures in place.
For more information about our new procedures and updated visitor experience, please visit our COVID-Safe Visit page.
We are encouraging visitors to pre-purchase tickets online to help reduce interactions between visitors and customer service staff. You may also purchase tickets upon arrival at the gate if you are unable to purchase online.
We are encouraging all visitors to check the NSW Health website prior to your visit, to ensure you haven’t attended a hotspot in the 14 days prior to your visit. To see a list of the current hot spots, please visit the NSW Health website.
If you are unwell or are experiencing any cold or flu-like symptoms, we do ask that you please stay at home and we’ll be happy to welcome you when you are well again.
The Australian Reptile Park is Australia’s original hands-on zoo. Home to over 2,000 animals and located in a natural bush setting on the scenic Central Coast of New South Wales.
Cuddle up to koalas, kangaroos, quokkas and dingoes or test your bravery and hold a massive python!
Learn about the lifesaving work the Park does through its antivenom program and important conservation work saving Australia’s wildlife through the charity Aussie Ark.
Only 60 minutes from Sydney or Newcastle, the Australian Reptile Park is a centrepiece attraction of the Central Coast. Look out for Australia’s first “Big Thing” – Ploddy the dinosaur, visible just before the Gosford exit heading north on the M1.
