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.

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

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.
jennie slinger
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.

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.
Jodie Cooper
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
Maree murfet
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
Kerry O
This has to be hands down the best animal exhibit we have been to! As a family of 6 we definitely were questioning if we should go or not because of the price. But it is worth every dollar!!! Will definitely be recommending this to friends and family. Staff were so friendly, helpful and made sure everyone got to have a go. Thank you so much!

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.
richard maclachlan
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.
Dave Simmons
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
Jeanette G
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.
Rohan Stevens

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!!!

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!
richard austin
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.
Kerryn Butler-Henderson
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!
Jason T
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.
Scott Pattullo
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.
Angela Tyson
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.
Daniel Burke
Well worth a visit! Friendly, knowledgeable staff, amazing displays, lots to see, very interesting and family friendly!

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.
Emily Madden
Great place! Super friendly!!!
brian lorente
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.
AMG
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.
paul Chandler
10/10 Would highly reccommend. great hands on experience with the snakes. Guides were informative and passionate (:

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.
Matthew Atkins
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!
