VIP Elvis Encounter Terms & Conditions
The VIP Elvis Encounter is strictly for participants aged 18 years and over.
Participants must wear enclosed shoes and follow all instructions provided by Australian Reptile Park keepers.
All feeding takes place from a designated position between the safety fences, under the supervision and direction of Australian Reptile Park keepers. Participants must remain within the designated area at all times.
The encounter is subject to weather conditions, animal welfare considerations and keeper discretion. The Australian Reptile Park reserves the right to modify, postpone or cancel an encounter where necessary for safety or animal welfare.
As Elvis is a wild animal, his behaviour and willingness to feed cannot be guaranteed. While every effort will be made to provide participants with the opportunity to feed Elvis, he may choose not to eat during the encounter.
Due to animal welfare, safety or operational requirements, participants may be asked to return on another day to complete their experience. Any rescheduled date will be arranged with the participant and is subject to availability.
If Elvis chooses not to feed, participants will be offered one of the following alternatives, subject to availability:
- An opportunity to return on another day to complete the Elvis Encounter.
- An alternative animal encounter.
- A complimentary return admission ticket to the Australian Reptile Park.
- An Australian Reptile Park gift voucher.
These alternatives are offered as a goodwill gesture and do not limit any rights participants may have under Australian Consumer Law.
Bookings are non-refundable for change of mind. A refund will not automatically be provided solely because Elvis chooses not to feed, provided the experience has otherwise been delivered as described and in accordance with Australian Consumer Law.
Nothing in these terms and conditions excludes, restricts or modifies any rights or remedies available to participants under Australian Consumer Law.
Participants must arrive at reception at their designated encounter time. Late arrivals may result in a shortened or forfeited experience, subject to Australian Consumer Law.
By booking the VIP Elvis Encounter, participants acknowledge that animal behaviour is unpredictable and that feeding is not guaranteed.
Experience Inclusion
Enjoy the opportunity to pole-feed Elvis, Australia's largest saltwater crocodile, subject to his behaviour and willingness to feed.
Please note that all feeding takes place from a designated position between the safety fences, under the supervision of Australian Reptile Park keepers.
