Absolutely amazing snake and reptile centre, Matt and Jen have a huge passion for their animals. Informative,fascinating and hands on, brilliant for the kids and adults alike.

  Wow! Wow!
Well I can’t speak highly enough of this family run business. They are so passionate about their wild life and so informative.
The Rio cafe is a must for a light lunch or just a coffee.
Thankyou Jennifer Matthew & family for a wonderful experience

  An absolute must see attraction for anyone interested in reptiles. You can tell by the beautifully well kept and decorated enclosures that the owners are totally invested in the care and welfare of these wonderful creatures. The reptiles are treated more like treasured pets, all with names and different personalities, and they even get to have outside time as well. Matthew is incredibly knowledgeable and spent a great deal of time with my daughter and I, and introduced us to Osiris the carpet python, who snuggled up to my daughter for about half an hour! It was an amazing experience that she will never forget. Could not recommend more highly.

  Very good, you get to hand feed kangaroos and pet them. We got to hold snakes and pet turtles. Beautiful animals and kind staff. Definitely recommend.

  Anaconda is the highlight of this place along with baby kangaroos

  First visit was to the Serpentarium Wildlife Park, whose focus is on snakes but with other reptiles plus a few marsupials and even a pair of blue and gold Macaw thrown in. There are some Australian snakes but none who are venomous and an odd collection of exotic snakes, including a boa constrictor and an anaconda! We were given an excellent talk from one of the staff. Full of information and useful anecdotes. We were given ample opportunity to hold/caress/express love for the snake on display. We abstained. The small Bennet's Wallaby pair were cute and the Macaw were loud and colourful.

All of the snakes and lizards and even the Chinese turtles, were in glass cages appropriate for their size, contained in a building. I didn't really have a problem with the containment that I usually do as these animals have all been bred in captivity but I thought it was a pity there was an under representation of Australian animals. However, given the high proportion of Australian snakes which are highly venomous, it makes sense that they concentrate on those that are not.

It was an impressive facility and value for money,

  I had THE best experiences here. Went back twice whilst camping around St Helens. The snake enclosures are beautifully done. Matthew explains snakes well, is relaxed and helpful whilst people are learning to touch and hold them if they want to. There is also a lively family atmosphere at the serpentarium so people can simply enjoy in whatever way they choose

  We absolutely loved it and the kids also learned what to do in the bush if they see a snake..
you’ve got to keep your hands down they kept saying 😅🙌🏻💕

  Great place to visit. Very welcoming and knowledgeable staff. We were able to hand feed the kangaroos, bottle feed the baby wallabies and pademelon as well as meeting some of the snakes, tortoises and lizards. The food in the cafe was good and reasonably priced.

  Wondful experience. What they lack in exhibits, they make up for in close hands on interactions. The team made sure everyone had some time with the snakes, were very informitive, helpful, friendly, and eager to please. Very long drive but would return again.

  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 👌

  Definitely the best experience I have ever had. The staff are so nice and informative. Would recommend visiting even if you never thought you wouldn't like reptiles. We will definitely be returning customers. Thank you to all the staff for your time.

  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.

  What a fantastic experience. The staff there are amazing and very passionate about the animals in their care. The enclosures are simply magnificent. I do not like snakes but I was impressed. It’s an amazing place - not to be missed.

  Lots of snakes and reptiles, very informative and interactive, make sure you are there for the 12pm show.

  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.

  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.

  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 was really fantastic. The enclosures were really intricately decorated and you can tell the animals are well cared for. They allowed for lots of hands on interaction with the animals and we were provided with lots of interesting information. Well worth a visit and we look forward to visiting again next time we are in town.

  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

  This place is fantastic. Fantastic value for money. A must for reptile lovers. Brilliant staff. All round excellence.

  We were the only visitors at the Serpentarium, and was given a short introduction and then left to wander around which we appreciated. Very friendly dogs by reception and under control at all times. Staff clearly care for the all animals at the exhibit. A little gift shop at the entrance too, with helpful information provided for the rest of the afternoon to explore (Bay of Fires) and next day onwards to Low Head - thank you.

Snakes and reptiles in clean enclosures. Outside was the best bonus of all, rescued pandemelons and little wallabies. Able to feed which we enjoyed.

Upon leaving, a snake was taken out of it's enclosure and happily explored my neck and arms. An odd sensation, but well worth doing.

This was one of the highlights of our trip.

  The serpentarium in st Helen’s is one of the best I have been too. The owners are extremely dedicated to their beautiful animals and put all their heart and soul into everything they do. You can see just by visiting how well they are looked after and how dedicated each person who works there not only the owners in what they do. The interaction with the public and the shared knowledge not only to adults but our youth is so invaluable but a must. The up and personal encounters are very awesome too. Where else would I get to touch, sit and see one of the worlds biggest snakes. Mickey you will always be my favourite oh and of course matt and Jen. Do yourself a favour everyone and visit, volunteer even donate to this awesome place. I will be back

  A pleasant surprise, very informative and interactive. Great little cafe, yummy food

  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

  Incredible park with friendly and knowledgeable staff members! We were lucky enough to experience 1 on 1 interactions with a few members of their park! We got to feed the kangaroos, handle and pet Dolly the Stimsons Python and had a little play with Tortellini the 7yr tortoise. A great time was had by all! Thanks for having us!

  Such a great set up. We took our son and friends for his 8th birthday and it was the perfect morning out. They got to hold tortoises, snakes and loved the interaction with the blue macaw. The owners are lovely and so caring about how the reptiles are treated. A great morning out for the family.

  Amazing little place. The owner and staff were super friendly and even allowed us to hold a few of the reptiles which made my partners day. I didn't try any of the coffee but they have a little cafe on site. A great place to visit if you want to see some restricted species that you won't see anywhere else in Tasmania. They have pythons, goannas, tortoises and an anaconda!

  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

  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! 😁

  Wonderful experience, the staff were friendly and helpful. We all got to hold and pat the snake. Would highly recommend. Thanks guys

  Well worth a visit! Friendly, knowledgeable staff, amazing displays, lots to see, very interesting and family friendly!

  Today was the best!! Every one who worked there was so friendly and welcoming, the kids who volunteer telling us the fun facts they know was cute as. The entire place is spotless and every enclosure was immaculate, the reptiles are very well cared for and loved. Holding the snakes and tortoises was a unforgettable experience for my whole family. We will be back. 100%recommend to every one.

  Fantastic exhibit. Very informative and interactive. Very friendly. A+

  Over priced for what was shown. The snakes were very interesting and they had a wide variety. Staff were also interesting. But also couldn’t decipher who was staff and who wasn’t as there was a lot of small children wearing uniforms. Would go again if I had a small child with me.

  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!

  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.

  Thoroughly enjoyed my experience at the serpentarium with the owner Matt. Got there just in time for the roo feeding and presentation, both very accessible for everyone and a fun experience. We learned a lot about snakes and were able to hold two pythons and interact with the Indian Star Tortoises while they wandered about the place. The anaconda is a sight to see as well!
Highly recommend, especially for anyone nervous about holding a snake, Matt will help you to feel comfortable and safe.

  Great place! Super friendly!!!

  A wonderful hands on experience for all.

This has to be the best kept conservation zoo we've visited in Tasmania. Exceptionally clean and well kept reptile displays, with knowledgeable handlers and volunteers.

Such important work to care and rehabilitate reptiles illegally gained and mistreated.

  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!

  We could not recommend this place more. Jen and her family went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and share all of their amazing knowledge with us. 10/10 would love to visit again.

  Cannot say enough nice things about this place! Staff are so nice and friendly. The building and facilities are always clean and well. And don’t even get my started on the enclosures themselves! I have seriously never seen such well though out and beautiful enclosures! The dedication towards the animals is also very entrusting.

  We loved this place! The keepers passion for the reptiles came through in the beautiful displays and great information and handling. Couldnt recommend this place enough!

  Absolutely incredible, the reptiles on display are well presented in their encolusures. The staff are wonderful and ensure everyone enjoys the full experience of snake handling and turtle feeding. There are also a few tame furry and feathered friends to add to the experience. Nice little Cafe for coffee and snacks here aswell. Serpentarium Wildlife Park is a must visit.

  Fantastic experience, highly educational, incredible staff, clean, incredible

  10/10 Would highly reccommend. great hands on experience with the snakes. Guides were informative and passionate (:

  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!

  Great Serpentarium! Definitely worth a visit!! Great for the children! The staff were lovely, patient and professional. We were able to handle a python and this was included in the admission fee. Thanks for making it a memorable experience for us!

  Great little reptile park just outside of St Helens. Snake handling show at 12pm is the highlight for kids as well as feeding the kangaroos.
