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!

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

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! 😁

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

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

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.
Fantastic time had with very knowledgeable staff and family. Well worth a visit. Clean and nice displays. Good fun for kids feeding wallabies and turtles
They are Very friendly and we had many good experience was so fun!!!
Amazing loved my time here (denise and leo
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.
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 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.
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.
Totally unexpected fun! We noticed the sign to this place on our way in St Helens. I loved loved loved the turtles, my daughter loved the close encounter with the snakes, and we had such a wonderful personalised service, Jennifer just gave us all her attention, and their boys are just little warriors. This place is a must see!!!
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.
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.
Lots of snakes and reptiles, very informative and interactive, make sure you are there for the 12pm show.
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.
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 😅🙌🏻💕
Such a great morning out. Kids and adults alike thoroughly enjoyed the animals and atmosphere. Super friendly hosts, even down to the dogs that greet you at the front door. Very hands on, and just enough information to keep us interested but not bored. Good value for money. Highly recommended.
Really good don't know about handling snakes not my think
Very well set up and really great staff. All the reptiles were really looked after and attention to detail in the displays was amazing. Very wheelchair accessible as well. Loved the 'junior wildlife warrior_ Sam' He was so cute. WELL WORTH A VISIT.
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 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.
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.
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!
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.
What a great little wildlife experience. Tucked away out the back of St Helens, this is well worth a visit. Get an up close and personal experience with snakes and other critters. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and I loved being greeted at the entrance by the very friendly white Alsatian doggy
Fantastic! Not to be missed! The many displays, are not only very professional but also very creative. And the hands-on experience, lead by the very knowledgeable owner, will delight adults and children of all ages. It definitely exceeded my expectations.
The food at the café is also very good and reasonably priced. A group of us spent the whole afternoon there and were all very impressed.
Well worth a visit! Friendly, knowledgeable staff, amazing displays, lots to see, very interesting and family friendly!
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.
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!
We had such a great time, its only a small place but it was enjoyable, the grandchildren really enjoyed holding a snake and feeding the wallabies and we were luckily enough to be able to feed the tortoises.
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.
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
Very astonishing and well thought out display. Definitely great inspiration. Owner was very kind to give us a behind the scene tour and let us hold some friendly snakes!
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.
Just Go!
Impressed with the genuine love for the animals and willingness to share this with visitors ..esp kids ..
Great place! Super friendly!!!

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!
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!
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.
Anaconda is the highlight of this place along with baby kangaroos
The staff are amazing, the serpentarium is great for all ages and very interactive highly recommend
10/10 Would highly reccommend. great hands on experience with the snakes. Guides were informative and passionate (:
