Crocodylus Park and Zoo, located only 15 minutes from Darwin's CBD, gives you a full NT outback experience in the city. It is the best place to come face to face with the largest reptiles on the planet. The park plays host to over a thousand crocodiles from hatchlings to massive adults.
Daily crocodile feeding tours give you the chance to feed one of the big guys yourself. After that, why not take the opportunity to hold a baby croc, all under the supervision of the parks passionate staff.
But that's not all, come and see for yourself!
Crocodylus Park and Zoo is easily accessible by bus or taxi. There is also parking available for caravans and coaches.

Great place to visit in Darwin! Very interesting with lots of information about crocodiles. The jumping croc boat ride was a highlight and well worth doing. There’s also a café and gift shop on site. A fun and educational experience for all ages.

We had the best day at Crocodylus Park with our family. Such a fun and memorable experience from start to finish.
The croc cruise with Tyson is an absolute must. It was exciting, informative and genuinely one of those moments you’ll be talking about long after. He also runs the feeding session, which was just as good – you can tell how passionate and knowledgeable he is.
All the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made a big difference. There’s so much to see and do. We loved getting up close with animals we’d never seen before like capybara, and the mix of experiences really keeps the kids engaged. Being able to hold snakes and even a baby crocodile was a real highlight.
There’s also a great little museum that shares the history of the park, which adds another layer to the visit.
Highly recommend if you’re in Darwin. Easily the best crocodile experience we’ve ever had.

Enjoyed our trip to this park. Never encountered crocs this close. The boat ride, feeding crocs etc were worth the visit, staff were friendly & knowledgeable. Tons of souvenirs to take home including croc jerky.
Only concern I have is price of the ticket, paid $200 for 3 (incl 1 local resident).

The park, located not far from the city centre, offers visitors the chance to learn about crocodiles and watch them being fed. The park is home to a variety of animals, both native to Australia and from elsewhere. All are well cared for and kept in good condition. The safety of visitors is top priority!

An enjoyable trip with lots of different animals to see, and watch the park rangers feed the big breeding crocodiles and if you want hold a baby crocodile. Definitely worth going on the cruise to feed the crocodiles in the lagoon where they'll jump for food
