This was our second visit after recommending it to our parents for years, we finally got them here! Such an awesome experience each time, the whole family had a go at snake handling, the snakes are always very relaxed and happy to hang about. We always recommend this place to friends and family when travelling to St Helens, definitely make the effort to come take a look! 😁

  Best secret in St Helens. Amazing exhibit of pythons, and an incredible experience interacting with the animals. Great for couples, family or friends! Great to meet Russel the diamond python, and the team was amazing.

  What a great experience. Come for the amazing reptiles and stay for the friendly, knowledgeable, enthusiastic and passionate staff. They guys provide a great service and experience. We got to cuddle a south American Anaconda. My 2 year old had a ball! I also hav3 to shout out the wonderfully arranged enclosures, very artistic and creative. Well done guys!

  I had the best experience today. The guide had an amazing knowledge of all the animals and you can see he really cares about them. 100% recommend you come and visit

  Had a great day today great park to visit we really enjoy it customer service was second to none and the animals are so loved would highly recommend this place

  To be honest I wasn't expecting all that much but was pleasantly surprised! Was a great experience, lots of information given by the staff and the reptiles seem happy.
Great experience would definitely recommend.

  Excellent animal displays, passionate and friendly staff, great hands on experience for the whole family

  The experience was intimate and throughly enjoyable. We got up close and friendly with a python and the tortoise family whilst they had their lunch.
Totally recommend the experience to everyone who visits St Helens.
The staff and owners were knowledgeable and friendly.

  A great experience, we thought we had missed the interactive experience but because they weren't that busy we got to hold a snake, on our own and around our necks together. Staff are well educated and more than willing to answer questions. A hidden Tasmanian gem of a place. My wife and I will definitely be going back.

  Absolutely amazing visit! The staff were very friendly, and the collection of beautiful animals is astounding. It is a small and growing business, with an excellent owner who seriously loves the animals. Today I held a snake named Cuddles, whose name did not mislead. She was a well tempered and beautiful snake. The owner was very good with children as there were small children that were shown how to handle the snake and seemed to have a wonderful time. The prices are very reasonable, with the staff always trying to provide the best price for the customers. The gift shop has a wide selection of appropriately priced goods. To anyone that is thinking about going to tasmania, and especially the east coast, this is a must to vist. If i ever come to tasmania again this will definitely be high priority.

  Really good don't know about handling snakes not my think

  Nice and quiet environment, friendly owner and staffs! They treated the animals as though they were part of their family. We had a great time at Serpentarium and even got a chance to have had a close encounter with the carpet python and the joey. You can find a giant anaconda in its enclosure and we were lucky enough to see it move! Worth spending time and support this awesome business if you travel to St Helens. Kids would love to explore this place!

  Husband and wife team great, very informative.
We enjoyed the interaction with the python called cuddles.
Also lovely to see and hear about the endangered tortoise

  Absolutely wonderful. The staff are so friendly and welcoming and very knowledgeable. Put this place on your list it’s well worth the visit.

  Very well organised small but comprehensive reptile park.. staff very welcoming and knowledgeable. Each display was very well thought out and displays were clean and spacious.

  Fantastic place. Matthew and Jennifer are excellent hosts. Admission includes keeper’s talk and interactive session holding a snake with photos (on your phone). Excellent for families with young kids regardless of whether they love reptiles as the material is very accessible and staff super friendly. And they have an anaconda!

  I cannot recommend highly enough that anybody that visits St Helens should visit this establishment the owners have gone above and beyond what would be expected by anyone from this type of attraction and really give the visitors something to remember forever.
Thank you very much for giving my family and I your time and experience to let us share in your passion you have for these creatures. We now have memories we will take with us for the rest of our lives

  What an incredible experience. We were fortunate to visit when it was quiet and the snake experience we had exceeded all expectations. The team were excellent and provided an unbelievable experience for my four year old and me, mum on the other hand wasn’t so keen on being close to the snakes. Thanks to the team!

  Incredible reptile experience at Serpentarium! The reptiles enclosures are immaculate and all the reptiles look healthy and happy! The carpet python handling experience is AMAZING! Staff are fabulous - friendly, helpful and ensure you get the most out of your reptile handling experience. Highly recommend - a must do on the East Coast!

  This place is superbly put together with very animal friendly enclosures+ an absolutely first class educational tour. And I don't even like snakes! Top facility

  Unbelievable experience! Great range and knowledge of reptiles and got to lay around and play with Micky the anaconda, something you couldn’t do anywhere else in the world. Very well priced, Mathew and his team made the visit 100%. Will definitely return. Highly recommend.

  What an incredible experience!
One of our boys is obsessed with snakes and we all had such an amazing time here. We learned so much and enjoyed the whole experience.
Clean facilities, friendly owners and I highly recommend stopping by with your family 👌

  I really loved the experience at this place. May be little but the knowledge and love they have for their animals. Got to get up close and personal to the snakes and turtles.

  had an awesome day here with the kids! My partner and I both conquered our fears of snakes today. The staff were amazing and so accommodating, especially when it came to the kids. Will definitely be coming back 😊

  An excellent experience! Highly recommended.
Amazing indoor reptile park with a range of snakes and lizards. The staff and animals were great. A wonderful way to safely interact with snakes and learn about reptiles.

  My family had a great time at the Serpentarium in St. Helen's! I will never forget it actually and will Return. Very reasonable pricing. Quite accessible. The variety of reptiles on display was bigger than expected, and we were thoroughly informed about each species by the knowledgeable staff and volunteers. The hands-on experience was a highlight, allowing us to interact closely with the reptiles, an unforgettable memory for all of us. What stood out the most was the genuine passion and dedication of the hosts, it wasn’t just a job or business but a love. They generously spent time and energy ensuring both the animals and visitors had a fantastic time. The children were captivated, and the adults were equally enchanted by the amazing reptiles. A must-visit for anyone seeking an educational and enjoyable day out with the family! 🐍🌿 thank you for your hospitality, we will be back

  We had a great time at the serpentarium!
We were able to hold a python and learn more about all the reptiles there. The enclosures are very well done, with beautiful environments for the reptiles to enjoy.

Our young kids had a great time!

Would highly recommend for a family activity while visiting St Helen’s!

  Anaconda is the highlight of this place along with baby kangaroos

  Looking for places to go on our trip, I stumbled upon the Serpentarium on my google search. This was by far the most enjoyable part of the trip.

This was my 1st time ever holding a snake and Matthew was amazing to listen to as he showed my 4yr old grandson how to hold Cuddles.

The tour of the Park from Matthew and assisted by Sammy was excellent. My grandson loved his time on his own special tour from Matthew's little guide Sammy.

The setting is outstanding, the snakes, turtles and Kangaroos are well cared for.

Excellent outdoor area to sit and have something to eat whilst watching the Turtles or the Kangaroos.

The admission fee is great value and the food and drinks great prices as well.

If you're up anywhere near St Helens, the Serpentarium is a must visit attraction.

  Great little place. The guy running the show was great. Very knowledgeable. Made you feel comfortable to hold a snake. Food and drinks. Toilet. Few animals around. Would recommend.

  An excellent experience for children and adults alike. We were able to handle tortoises and huge reptiles which was amazing. The presenter was absolutely wonderful with little children. A very welcoming and casual venue with a wide range of reptiles to see. Highly recommend.

  Fantastic experience! The owners were friendly and knowledgeable. The snakes, lizards, croc and tortoise were easy to see and enclosures clean and well lit. Lots to see everywhere we looked. Well priced. Staff went out of their way to make our experience an enjoyable one. Make sure you visit when next in St Helens, we'll be coming back.

  This place was fantastic , great fun for all ages and abilities , facilities were imaculately clean and all the animals were extremely well looked after , the service was amazing , extremely knowlegeble and ultra friendly , getting to get up close and personal with the tortoise family and with cuddles the python was a highlight , highly recommend this to everyone
