Meet Kraken the Komodo Dragon!

Prepare yourself for a heart-pounding experience as you come face-to-face with Kraken, our massive Komodo Dragon. In this new, behind-the-scenes encounter, you’ll discover what it’s really like to stand only metres from the world’s largest lizard.

Your journey begins with exclusive access to Kraken’s enclosure, where our expert keepers introduce you to Kraken then watch in awe as he moves with steady, powerful confidence. Then get ready for something truly special: you’ll have the rare chance to gently pat Kraken under the guidance of our experienced team.

Throughout the encounter, you’ll have your keeper host all to yourself for questions, stories, and insights into Kraken’s behaviour, training, and the unique challenges of caring for such an extraordinary reptile. Finish off your adventure with an unforgettable photo alongside this modern-day dragon.

This Komodo Dragon Encounter offers a once-in-a-lifetime chance to stand beside one of the planet’s most legendary predators in a thrilling experience.
