WE ARE OPEN!
As of Monday 11 October 2021
Our dedicated staff have been working throughout lockdown to care for our animals, and now, we’re SO EXCITED to reopen our doors and welcome you back in a careful and responsible way.
During these uncertain times, visiting a wildlife park with your family is the best way to connect with nature and each other. With ample space for social distancing, the Australian Reptile Park is one of the safest places for you and your family to visit now COVID-19 restrictions are easing.
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.
