  • 5 star review  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

  • 5 star review  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.

  • 5 star review  Matthew is so knowledgeable about all his reptiles and snakes and Jen and all the keepers are so helpful. The animals are so well kept and loved and respected this is hands down the only place to experience these animals. To be up close and personal with a green anaconda is incredible and the pythons are so comfortable being held. We are from Hobart but always call in for a visit to our favourite snakes Scales, Mickey and Cuddles

  • 5 star review  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

    5 star review  Wow what a place, as soon as we walked in the door we knew we were in for a good day as we were greeted by the owners white German Sheppard who accompanied us around for majority of our day there. We planned to go for maybe an hour or so and ended up being there for about 4. The entry cost to the serpentarium covers all of the activities inside, including feeding the kangaroos out the back. We were able to watch closely as he fed his two Macaw's which are just so majestic. Then he got out the three tortoises for some time in the sun and a feed, and then got out one of his snakes, which was a beautiful diamond python which everyone there was able to hold unassisted and he even took photos and videos for us on our phones. They also had another young carpet python out which I was able to hold for around 20-30 minutes straight which was very enjoyable experience. Then if you want to watch he also does some snake feeding if there is a hungry serpent. What a cool place!

    5 star review  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!

    5 star review  Amazing! We luckily were the only ones at the Serpentarium so we had the keeper to ourselves letting us hold tortoises and touch the snakes. This wouldn’t happen normally but it shows they live their visitors. The cafe had good food for a wildlife park and very friendly staff all around and a lovely bird named rio who talks to you when your near him. I definitely recommend this place to you.

An Important Update From Serpentarium Wildlife Park 🐍❤️

Hello to all our Serpentarium supporters, our beautiful community of St Helens, and our friends across Tasmania. ❤️

Over the years, Serpentarium Wildlife Park Tasmania, has grown into more than just an indoor reptile exhibit. It has become a place where children conquer fears, families learn together, where beautiful connections are formed between people and wildlife.

Every snake, tortoise, and lizard in our care is part of our family. Behind the scenes there is daily feeding, cleaning, heating, lighting, veterinary care, and constant attention to ensure they live healthy, enriched lives.

Serpentarium is not just a reptile park. It is a safe haven for our communities children, our young volunteers, and our homeschool families... to experience reptiles in a safe and family friendly environment and learn to appreciate nature. It is a place where visitors often arrive as strangers and leave as family friends.

With rising costs and maintaining sustainable operations in caring for our animals we will be updating our policies and procedures moving towards 2027.

Serpentarium well have a new pricing structure from October 1, 2026.

Reptile interactions will still be included with our daily keeper presentation at 12PM noon.

For visitors who would love a more personalise interaction, a one-on-one encounter with our beautiful reptiles, this will now be offered as an optional add-on to the entry fee. A Single Encounter Ticket or Family Encounter Ticket can be purchased at check-in.

These pricing adjustments allows us to continue caring for our animals, to industry best practice to the highest standard, while keeping the Serpentarium a special place for everyone.

The Serpentarium collection of animals is only small; it’s a specialised and secure facility, which allows us to share our animals with you, and demonstrate the connection that we have with our animals.

We loved them and they received absolute enrichment in the personalised care and attention that they received.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your kindness, and your continued support. And we look forward to sharing our family again with soon!

Warmest regards,

The Serpentarium Family 🐍
